Practical tools and guidance for a
meaningful creative life
Hello and welcome!
Creative work can be joyful, meaningful, and life-enriching… and also confusing, overwhelming, or downright lonely.
If you’ve ever struggled to stay connected to your work, questioned whether your ideas (or you) are “enough,” or wished for a little more clarity and confidence in your creative life, you’re in the right place.
Here, you’ll find down-to-earth, compassionate support as you navigate your relationship with yourself and your creative work. You’ll find psychology-based tools that help you understand your thoughts and feelings, practical strategies for staying focused on the projects that matter, and gentle encouragement for creating the mindset that will help you do your best work.
Whether “creative work” means a quiet personal practice, a yearning to make progress with a long-held project, or a desire to marry your passions with your career, this space exists to help you build a relationship with your creativity that feels grounded, sustainable, and right for you.
About Hannah
Hi, I’m Hannah, and I love helping creatives build confidence, self-trust and a sustainable relationship with their craft.
I started this site back in 2010 as a tiny personal blog where I explored questions about identity and personal growth. Over the years it’s grown into a space dedicated to helping creatives understand their minds, build supportive habits, and make progress on the projects that matter most.
My current fascination lies at the intersection between inner work and outer work, and how those influence each other. I’m currently finishing up a Master’s degree in psychology, and I’ve completed Advanced Creativity Coaching Training with Dr. Eric Maisel. I’ve written several books, contributed chapters to a couple more, and my work has been featured in places like Lifehacker, The Huffington Post, The Telegraph, and Psych Central.
I believe we do our best creative work when we feel grounded, curious, and playful, not when we’re trying to “fix” ourselves or chase perfection. My approach is practical, compassionate, and woo-free. You won’t find me talking about “raising your vibration,” but you will find thoughtful tools rooted in evidence-based psychology and real-life experience.
When I’m not writing about creativity, journaling, and our inner worlds, you’ll find me spending time with my favourite humans, starting yet another knitting project while my WIP pile silently judges from the corner, or trying (and usually failing) to stop my food-obsessed Labrador, Ziggy, from counter-surfing.
It’s a good job he’s cute.
