Ever felt stuck in a creative rut or like you're always pushing but never flowing? In this episode, we explore what a creativity coach actually does, and how understanding the natural cycles of creation can help you work with your energy, not against it.

Creativity isn’t a constant grind; it moves in seasons. In this insightful episode, we explore what a creativity coach is and how they support artists, writers, entrepreneurs, and everyday creatives in honouring the full cycle of the creative process. From bursts of inspiration to much-needed periods of rest, you'll learn why every phase, including stillness, has value. We also discuss simple, practical strategies and daily habits that can help you stay in creative flow longer, with more ease and less burnout. Whether you’re a seasoned creative or just getting started, this episode is for you.

Thank you for listening!
