Welcome to The Creative Good

If you’re longing to tend your creative life, you’re in the right place.

Here, creative practice is cultivated as a way of being—not a means to an end. There’s no productivity culture—just slow rhythms, flexible frameworks, and like-hearted company.

We work with the seasons, with our natural cycles, and with a justice-based understanding that we are not broken—the systems are.

Here, creative practice honours your capacity, your values, and your longing. We choose self-kinship over self-optimization, and move through our creative growth phases at the pace of care.

You might find yourself at home here if you…

  • Are a woman, non-binary, or gender-expansive creator—likely a writer and/or artist—at any stage of your creative life.

  • Want a more relational—not transactional—way to create, where creativity is about process and presence, not just outcomes and outputs.

  • Are tired of productivity culture, hustle narratives, and endless self-blame—and are ready for a slower, truer rhythm that moves with your real life and natural cycles.

  • Crave flexible structures beyond standard to-do lists—frameworks that help you find your flow and sustain your practice over time.

  • Want a creative practice that meets you where you are—holding both your deepest desires and your very human limitations.

  • Are drawn to creative rhythms that follow nature’s lead—trusting the wisdom of seasons and cycles, and moving through roots, shoots, and blooms without rushing or hierarchy.

  • Feel nourished by tapping into creative ecosystems and shared insight—because even when you're creating alone, it helps to know you’re not in it alone.

  • Are navigating perfectionism, imposter feelings, burnout, or other tangles—and want a space that gently (but with fierce advocacy) untangles these things as collective struggles, not personal failures.

  • Want to tend your creative work in quiet, steady ways—not just when inspiration rushes in, or as a "reward", or when the timing feels perfect and the decks are cleared (hint: they never are!).

Ways to Move through The Creative Good

The Creative Good offers a flexible, relational ecosystem you can move through in ways that meet you where you are.

Some people find support through the Tending Sessions—season-long containers for nurturing your creative practice with personalized guidance, shared momentum, and practical tools to help you grow. No hustle, no grind.

Others choose Shine Sessions—one-on-one conversations to help you reconnect with your practice, untangle creative knots, or find clarity in the questions you’re carrying. Come as you are, even if all you have is a hunch.

Some begin quietly, working with the Seasonal Creator Almanac—a self-guided tool that helps you explore seasonal energy and move through the year in tune with your creative rhythms.

These offerings have grown steadily over the last eight years—refined by experience and shaped by real creative lives.

There’s no single path, no prescribed pace.

You’re invited to weave your creative life through here in whatever way feels nourishing—whether that’s planting something new, coming in from the cold, or simply resting a hand on the gate for a while before you step inside.

I’m not a productivity guru or a gatekeeper. I’m a writer and artist, which makes me a peer—someone who’s been untangling my own creative questions for a long time, slowly building the tools and rhythms I needed in order to thrive.

What I offer inside The Creative Good has grown from that lived experience. It’s rooted in self-kinship over self-optimization, and in the belief that we are not broken—the systems are.

My approach is built on three intertwined principles: liberation, supportive structures, and flexibility.

Liberation is the thread that runs through it all. We name the systems that make it hard to create—capitalism, white supremacy, ableism, patriarchy—so we can stop blaming ourselves for the ways we struggle. As bell hooks described it, we’re all navigating life under “imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy,” and our identities, obligations, health, and financial status shape how we show up. You are not solely responsible for your success as a creator—because you're only ever partially in control.

My Approach

Even so, we have to find ways to shine our lights anyway.

And liberation needs supportive structures. That’s where the frameworks come in—practical, adaptable tools to help you engage with your creative life in a way that supports clarity and consistency, without pressure or rigidity.

And always, there is flexibility. There’s room to pause, to pivot, to rest.

Your pace is welcome here—whether you’re tending your creative foundations and letting ideas take root, growing your body of work, or beginning to offer what you’ve made to others.

This isn’t a formula. It’s a way of relating—to our work, to our creative selves, and to the world around us.

I offer what I’ve made in case it might help. And to hold space for our creativity, in all its seasons.
