Let's be real, staying devoted to your creativity and sustaining your creative life may be the hardest thing you'll ever do. Once you commit to your creative vision, the real work begins!
Nobody can give you the blueprint to your unique creative vision, and how well you navigate depends on your ability to use your creative compass while:
With all the modern proof, access to technology, and powerful insights from seasoned creatives, your vision is still unattainable and unsustainable if you don't know how to embody enough vibrant creativity consistently to keep your way forward illuminated.
Staying devoted to your craft can feel like a constant fight to reclaim yourself and the life you want to live.
Feeling ill-equipped, unsupported, and discombobulated on your creative path hits your mind and body with debilitating stress and the occasional full blown health crisis!
Even though your creativity comes naturally, using creativity professionally and entrepreneurially comes with blindsiding obstacles, diabolical learning curves, and the need for more true health and wellness than you probably ever anticipated.
The biggest (and most common) mistake you can make as a creative professional or entrepreneur is using a "corporate employee mindset". You can't use misaligned corporate metrics that measure success in output, celebrate sacrificing yourself for income, and completely neglect your health and wellness.
Where wellness goes, creativity flows. For creatives health is wealth most literally.
Your mind and body are conduits for your creativity to come through. The more your mind and body hold stress, dysfunction, and dis-ease, the more you become creatively blocked, stagnant, and burnt-out.
You can't treat yourself like a piece of replaceable machinery while pursuing your creative vision. You have to think, feel, and move like a Creative. You have to operate like you understand vibrant creativity is the value, revenue, and reward that sustains you and allows you to thrive on your creative path.
It's time to trust your creative capacity and stop dooming yourself to the life of "the starving artist". Let go of irrelevant principles of success and false promises of security that limit and leave your creative expression to spare time and old age.
When you use holistic health and wellness to support your creative life, you revitalize your creative flow and consistently activate high value creativity that lets you brave the challenges, chaos, and demands of your professional and entrepreneurial creative journey with ease, fluidity, and resilience.
You have tools to ignite your creative power. You can have the capacity to overcome your creative struggles and stay devoted to your vision. You can learn to turn your creativity into value, revenue, and reward without sacrificing the very vitality that keeps you thriving in your craft. Your vibrant creativity is designed to illuminate your way!
And when you get good at keeping your creative torch lit with wellness... you'll be the light for another Creative learning to embrace their own self-belief and ability to navigate the darkness of the creative unknown.
The world is waiting for your creativity. From a lifelong Creative to another, I believe in you. Please keep going!

I'm Lesley, and I guide Creatives through the transformational process of discovering the holistic wellness tools to thrive on a bold creative path!
I'm a lifelong Creative, Multi-passionate Entrepreneur, Certified Massage Therapist, Mom of 3, and Creativity is my oxygen. For over 2 decades, I've navigated the challenges of being a creative entrepreneur.
After I left my corporate medical job in 2013 to reclaim my creative freedom, I was shocked as well-known creative entrepreneurs were publicly sharing life changing health emergencies... like Arianna Huffington, founder of HuffPost, finding herself in a pool of blood with a broken cheek bone after collapsing from exhaustion.
If creativity is our lifeline, shouldn't it give us LIFE?!
Over the last 10 years I've learned powerful holistic wellness practices that hack the visceral panic, disorientation, and overwhelm on my entrepreneurial journey that disrupts my creativity.
Now my creativity feels easy to access and protected from the impact of stress. I have vibrant energy throughout the day, and I can go in and out of creative time more easily with less friction when I'm interrupted. Creative Wellness has become my solution for true work life integration!
The good news is you don't have to spend a DECADE learning it on your own.
I'll show you how to use Creative Wellness to avoid the mind body breakdowns and keep thriving, creating value, generating revenue, and experiencing the abundant rewards of living your creative vision well.

This is incredible work you are offering! It's so needed!! Thank you for normalizing this. I definitely felt shame and confusion around the burnout of following my bliss, and yet all I'm missing is a way to proactively work with and recover from stress!

I realize how completely unrealistic I've been to approach my creative work without wellness anywhere in sight when they really go hand in hand. Having simple ways to recognize and prevent my usual creative blocks and burnout keeps reminding me it's not all in my head!
