Workshops
Our creativity doesn’t live apart from our lives...
... it shows up in the time we carve out, the energy we protect, and the choices we make about what’s possible. My workshops are a space to slow down, get curious, and use writing as a tool for clarity, confidence, and aligned decision-making. Big work, y'all! Our creativity lives inside of the self, our projects, and our wider world aka our creative ecosystem.
Through my studio, I help writers and multidisciplinary artists build lives that actually support their art — and creative practices that support their lives — so they can create fully, live fully, and move forward without compromise.
Being on the waitlist for my workshops is a smart move. It’s the easiest way to make sure you don’t miss a moment of this work.
Every year, we offer two pay-what-you-can sessions to the public: Our Say No With Love Session and the Creative Net Worth Sessions, which you can learn more about below.
There are no formal prerequisites here, just an open mind, a willingness to look inward, and the courage to try something new. If you bring those three things, you’ll walk away with something powerful for your creative toolkit, and perhaps, a deeper understanding of yourself as a creative human.
If you are interested in more intimate workshops and livestream presentations that happen on a recurring monthly basis, these take place via our Forever Writers Club Community which you can join for a monthly fee.
The Say No With Love Workshop (Now open for registration!)
The popular Say No With Love Workshop is for creative thinkers and writers (and nope — you absolutely don’t have to be a writer to attend!) who want to set nourishing boundaries, protect their creative energy, and build a creative life they actually want to return to again and again.
No two creative lives look the same. This workshop invites you to get honest about your life, your season, and your real needs and put them FIRST.
Through reflective writing, conversation, and the 7-step Say No With Love process, we gently uncover limiting beliefs like “I don’t have time to create” or “I can’t give energy to things that don’t pay me” — and look at how those thoughts quietly shape your daily choices.
You’ll leave with everything you need to create your own Seasonal Say No With Love Map — a simple, personalized tool that helps you filter decisions, prioritize with clarity, and choose how you want to show up in your creative life and beyond.
The only prerequisites? An open mind and a desire to make more room for creativity.
This session is story-filled, deeply personal, refreshed every season with new insights and examples… and truly, it’s a whole vibe.
If you are currently a Forever Writers Club member, please log in and RSVP within the community space instead of registering below.
NEXT WORKSHOP: SUNDAY MARCH 29, 2026 10am PST
establish your creative net worth Workshop
This session is for creatives who want to see what they’re actually carrying, beyond credentials, publications, or external validation. We’ll explore both your assets and liabilities to get a full picture of your creative net worth.
As writers and creatives, we discard a lot — pages, ideas, notes, emails (yes… even emails can be gold). Things we think have served their purpose are actually fuel waiting to be alchemized. In this session, we’ll dig through those “recycling bins” and discover how to transform what we normally throw away into something that strengthens your creative life.
We spend so much time in workshops, at events, sending emails, supporting others — but when we filter it through our own values and message, all of it can work for us in surprising and fun ways.
