Show Notes

Picture yourself in survival mode, just barely scraping by in your creative practice. Your brain screams "danger!" at every turn, inhibiting your ability to take risks and innovate in your craft. This was me,a few years back, when I was struggling to keep my creative practice afloat while being constantly on edge.

Here's my promise to you - there is a way to break free of that cycle. In this replay episode, I'm offering you the chance to join me on a journey beyond survival mode. This episode condenses a two-part series from last year into a single, powerful guide, offering you the support you need to move beyond merely surviving in your creative business or career. I've been there, and the difference in my practice since I've moved out of survival mode is staggering. But don't just take my word for it - many of my clients have repeatedly expressed how valuable they found this series. Now, it's your turn. Take the plunge, listen to this episode, and begin your journey from survival to thriving in your creative endeavor.
