Prosper will take place over roughly 16 weeks with a total of 12 sessions with your group – this could extend to five months depending on the scheduling availability of our calls. As a group, we will meet approximately three weeks of every month, allowing time for integration, reflection and connection with your Prosper members in between, so you finish the Intensive with a cohort of Creative Hearts on this journey with you. And you’ll have the processes, foundation and tools you need to confidently deliver your new income streams in ways that feel good to you… without all the hustle, sacrifice and stress.

There are two options to enrol, the Standard Prosper Intensive, or the VIP Prosper Intensive which includes 4 x additional private coaching calls and private email support for the duration of the intensive. These additional call are on top of the personal 1:1 coaching call included in the standard option, making a total of 5 private coaching calls if you choose the VIP option. This VIP option is perfect if you thrive with one on one support on private calls where you will be the sole focus of the conversation, combined with the energy and momentum that comes with learning alongside a group of like-minded, motivated and inspiring creatives.

For each of these options, you can choose the payment plan, or to pay up front.

Prosper is a 16 week coaching intensive for Creative Hearts and is focused on supporting you to cultivate prosperous money mindsets, develop new income streams, and nurture deep trust in yourself so you can make money doing what you love.

My specialty as a coach is to support you where you’re at. While we will be guided by the 12 Prosperous Pillars outlined above, having a set curriculum defeats the purpose of working with you, individually, and supporting you to bring to life the income stream(s) you are working on right now.

When I designed this coaching intensive, I was intentional about tailoring it to specifically support Creative Hearts who want to develop a new income stream (or multiple new income streams). You get to choose your own adventure, in the sense of deciding what you want to create, and instead of being overwhelmed with a curriculum full of PDF worksheets to fill in or videos to watch that don’t relate to your unique process or project, I’ll coach you.

During Prosper, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to have transformational, personalised coaching from me. And you’ll get to experience learning alongside your fellow Creative Hearts in the program, discovering processes or shortcuts you never expected, as you are surrounded by folks who are on the same path as you. There is so much value in surrounding ourselves with support, and you can move forward in leaps and bounds by hearing what your peers are learning alongside you. You’ll receive real time feedback, inspired big-picture thinking, and intricate or practical tips that will save you time and money in brining your income stream to life, too.

This is a space where you can come in and say, “Ok, I’ve begun designing my offering, I’m wondering what I need to do next,” and you will be coached directly on our calls and in our private Community Forum. I’ll also offer relevant and specific resources, frameworks, checklists or tools to help you bring to life your new income stream.

Prosper is all about transformation, not an over load of information. It’s about learning how to turn disappointments into an opportunity, instead of a catastrophe. It’s about how to take care of your sensitive, creative self, so you can focus on being of service and being creative – and ultimately, trust yourself so you can make money doing what you love.

If you’re looking for personalised support, and to have deep, experiential paradigm shifts so you can then move forward with making your creative dreams real, this intensive is for you.

You may be wondering, “How much can I REALLY gain from this coaching experience? Will it turn out to be a wise, generative investment in my future, or an expense that will leave me feeling financially overwhelmed? I’ve never done something like this before (although, if I’m honest, I’ve also never made as much progress as I would like to, trying to do things on my own).”

Firstly, please give yourself a warm hug for being brave enough to put your fears into words and ask this question. When we really desire something, it’s incredible how much anxiety and nerves can be triggered in the process. Please rest assured, those feelings are completely normal when we are looking to be brave, step out and do something beyond the status quo.

The short answer to your question is, I don’t know. Signing up for Prosper may turn out to be the best thing you’ve ever done for yourself. Or, it may not be right for you — or right for you at this time.

The work I do with clients is upheld by a principle I firmly believe: You are the expert on you. Which means, you know yourself, your circumstances and your needs better than anyone else. Instead of turning outwards and looking for validation, direction or permission, I invite you to use this decision to come home to yourself. You can trust yourself – your wisdom, your discernment, your discretion – to guide you towards shaping a creative life that is true, wholehearted, and healthy for you.

You may feel scared to own or acknowledge the truth of what you know, but deep inside of you, beyond your fears, beyond your hopes, beyond your creative dreams, there is a place within you that knows what’s true for you. Listen to that inner voice.

You can tune into your heart by focusing on your heart’s desire. Feel it’s pull. It’s resonance. Feel that tug of curiosity. Excitement. Possibility. Feel the you that wants to see your creative dream come to life, more than the you who wants to stay comfortable, secure and predictable. The truth is, as we’ve seen in the past year with the state of the world, nothing is predictable. In my experience, it’s more fulfilling to go for what you want, than to hide out.

No one knows what the future holds and there are no guarantees in life. Sometimes, we can have fears and doubts about how going after our creative dreams will impact our life. You can be assured of this: You will be a different you at the end of the next four months. You will have grown, learnt, and shifted. And while you can’t be certain how your income stream is going to turn out, you can cultivate ways of being in the world that will support you to continue to follow your heart, regardless of outcomes, so you can continue to actively shape your creative life and work so that is fulfilling and sustainable.

Instead of focusing on certainty, I invite you to focus on cultivating curiosity. Curiosity about the you who you will become in pursuit of your creative dream and new income stream(s). Curiosity leads to discoveries, transformations, expansions, and even more creativity. Choose to focus on curiosity, rather than certainty. When we focus on certainty, it leads to… well, more of what we already know.

So… the truth of the matter is, I don’t know what’s right for you.

However here’s what I do know: Fears about money are rarely about money. If you had enough money to do anything you wanted to, would you choose to say Yes to Prosper? Would you choose this as the safe container that holds you securely while you bring your chosen income stream to life? Or would something else cause you to hesitate, or to say No at the threshold?

On a practical level, I have three suggestions to help you to navigate this decision.

#1. Check in with yourself (always check in with yourself!) Consider these five elements:

Use my favourite financial therapist Bari Tessler’s framework for making conscious money decisions.

• The Numbers: Do you have enough money to cover the investment? Is there a way you could easily make the money (selling an existing offering, simplifying your expenses — it may be easier than you think!)

• The Timing: Is this the right time for you to do this? Does developing a new income stream feel like something your heart is longing to focus on now, in this season of your life?

• The Value: Is sharing your creative work with the world something you value? How willing are you to invest in developing income streams and bringing to life your creative dreams?

• The Cost: What will it cost you to not do this? What will you miss out on by not choosing this path? We can struggle trying to do things on our own, when, if we surround ourselves with support, it can help us to increase our bottom line, boost our confidence, and support us to boldly share our creative work with the world, leading to more sales and money in the bank, so much sooner. It sounds obvious, but we lose money when we aren’t making money. Lacking confidence and clarity to take action is an opportunity lost and in accounting terms, it comes with an opportunity cost.

• The Intention: Are you making this decision from a place of love for yourself and care for your wellbeing, both present and future? What is your intention in making this decision? What is your intention with your work in the world and the creative legacy you are creating? Is this decision intentional and full of love, or is it based in fear?

#2. Here are some other questions you can explore, to help you clarify what you truly want:

• If I say Yes! to developing the income stream my heart is calling me towards, and to joining Prosper, who will I be, six months from now?

• If I say No, who will I be, six months from now?

• How will my creative life and business change, as a result of creating this income stream I’m longing to create? What treasures, blessings and experiences might unfold, through the experience of bringing it to life?

• If I trusted myself completely, what would I choose to do now?

When you are clear on these questions, you can be sure everything is aligned for you to experience a wonderful return on your investment.

#3. Pull out a pen, or open a new document, and write down all your thoughts, feelings and ideas that come up around saying yes to this program.

What is holding you back? Are there real constraints? If it is something you really feel drawn to, are there any ways you can make it easier to say yes to yourself? Perhaps you can see it as a gift to your inner child, who longs to feel seen and heard in a safe community. Perhaps you can write it off as a business expense. See what comes up for and is true for you.

So, settle in and take a deep breath. Check in with yourself. Look at your numbers. Listen to and follow your heart.

Is this your time? You have the information inside you to know.

Most importantly, be an ally for your own creative self. Trust your sense of right timing, trust that when you follow the call of your heart, you will be supported to bring to life that which you desire.

THE PROSPER ACCELERATOR Program is a bonus opportunity to receive creative mentoring and business coaching with me in the lead-up to when Prosper officially begins.

Everyone who joins Prosper prior to the official start date will be welcomed into the Prosper Accelerator Program. Inside the Accelerator, you will be invited to join the bonus coaching calls with me every week at our allocated Prosper calls time-slot.

What this means is, the earlier you join Prosper, the more creative mentoring and business coaching you will receive with me, for free. This also means you’ll have more time to implement the actions you need to take to bring your income stream(s) to life. This bonus is worth literally thousands of dollars in free coaching and is my way of encouraging you to honour your inner knowing and say Yes! to your creative dreams.

If you are the first person to join Prosper, you will be the only person on the weekly bonus calls with me until the next person joins, when they will be invited to join the calls, and there will be two on the calls and so on, until we officially start. What that means is you’ll have more time with my eyes on you to gather more insights, guidance and feedback, and more time so you can take action to bring your income stream to life before we even officially begin.

It’s my heart-centred reward to you for taking action, instead of putting off the decision to join until the last minute. And please remember, there are only ten seats in Prosper. With the bonus Prosper Accelerator Program, when you secure your place, you get to begin.

Item descriptionTo secure your place inside Prosper: Make Money Doing What You Love, simply book in to speak with me by clicking the “Apply Now” button on this page, where you will be taken to the application form. Completing the application form will not guarantee you a place in the Prosper program, nor will it guarantee a conversation with me, however it will help me get to know you and your creative dreams better, and clarify whether or not we are a great fit to work together.

From there, you might be accepted into Prosper immediately if we are both sure it’s right for you, or, if either of us have questions, you will be invited to have a call with me where we will have a conversation to clarify details further. This call will not be a sales call, rather, it will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you would like to ask, and experience firsthand what it’s like to work with me. If it feels like a good fit for the both of us, we will explore whether the Standard or VIP option of the intensive will support you best. And if afterwards it is a wholehearted “Yes!” from the both of us, then you’re in! You can pay in full or on a payment plan.

I’ve created this intensive to be perfect for Creative Hearts who are looking for guidance setting up their business, as well as those who are looking to find clarity, confidence and support to grow their existing business.

If you’re overflowing with ideas but don’t know where to begin, or you’re looking for a safe environment to explore developing new income streams, or if you’d like to learn how to make money doing what you love, this intensive will be perfect for you.

I love working with Creative Hearts who are just beginning to set up their new business to help them shortcut their learning curves, build a solid foundation, develop their brand, and build a marketing practice that works with their strengths. Having the support of the right coach for you during these initial parts of setting up your business can save you literally thousands of dollars, not to mention years of figuring things out on your own.

If you are setting up a new creative business, you will be most welcome and supported inside Prosper.

As a fellow heart-centred creative, I know what it’s like to look for fresh inspiration and support when we want to grow our business or branch into a new area.

Sometimes we just feel bored doing what we’ve always done. Or the dollars simply don’t add up with the effort we are putting into our work.

Maybe you want to host your first in-person retreat, write a book, develop an online course or program, add coaching to your repertoire, set up an online shop, host an exhibition, launch a new series of artworks in an online collection or any number of other possible income streams available to you as a Creative Heart.

I’d be so delighted to help you do it.

I’m a firm believer that we can all learn from each other and I promise to share with you techniques, resources and mindsets I’ve developed over the years to launch and deliver these new income streams, and more.

If you’re looking for fresh inspiration, encouragement to follow your heart, charge well for your work, or support to clarify your ideas and practical ways to take action, you’re in the right place.

So many past clients have told me they felt unsure if they ‘could do it’ before too. Jumping into something new often brings up all.the.fears. And our inner critic likes to help us feel safe, by keeping us in known territory.

If you’re feeling a mixture of excitement, butterflies and nerves, I’m excited for you! That tells me what you have read on this page is something you desire for your creative life. Let me share some more info, to hopefully help ease your nerves.

I’ve been very intentional about structuring the program so you will have personalised support. The program is designed so I meet you where you are at, whether you need to clarify your ideas, build your confidence, or find the practical solutions to make money doing what you love.

You will learn new skills incrementally, so you can build your confidence as you go. I want you to feel excited, brave, and nurtured as you boldly design, develop and deliver you new income streams. Which is why you’ll find we explore practices that build your business skills alongside your energy management skills to support you in developing and delivering your new income streams.

Much of what it takes to make money doing what we love is about the inner work. It’s about taking care of our energy, honouring our needs, releasing our need for approval from others, embracing our uniqueness, being brave in the face of the unknown, and practicing self-compassion so we can continue doing the work, even when it doesn’t go perfectly to plan. I’ll be sharing so many practices and tools to help you do just this.

You can relax into my lovingly crafted container to hold you securely as you develop your chosen income stream(s) and cultivate the mindsets, skills and practices you need to prosper.

I also want to reassure you the rich community components of the program are there to support you every step of the way, too. So you can be on a call with me three times a month and ask for support, you can share your challenges and your wins, you can use the community forum to keep you inspired, motivated, and connected with fellow Creative Hearts on this adventure.

Every person begins the journey at a different place, and ends at a different place. You are right where you need to be right now (you can’t be anywhere else!) and as you continue to follow your heart, and the bread-crumbs of your curiosities, your creative path will unfold and reveal itself to you. Trust the process, listen to your intuitive nudges, and take action. Because clarity comes from taking action and seeing how that feels and what it leads to, instead of purely thinking about, pondering and evaluating what we should do.

My advice would be to look at any real constraints that are stopping you. Journal them out and look at what is real and what is just a story your mind is telling you. Then, jump in if you are still feeling a flutter of excitement. Those flutters are there for a reason (I find they are leading me home).

I’m here to help you develop something new. It might feel scary. But trust me, you are oh so brave, wise and capable. When you intentionally put yourself in an environment where you prosper, incredible things happen. I warmly invite you to book in to speak with me, and let’s see what we can create together.

The Prosper calls will be held on Wednesday at 4pm Brisbane Time (AEST), 3 weeks of each month.

You will definitely get the most out of Prosper: Make Money Doing What You Love by participating in the live coaching calls, as they are the foundation of the coaching experience in this intensive. However, all of the calls will be recorded and housed in our private Member’s Area so you can catch the replay for any that you are unable to attend live. As a reminder, the Prosper calls will be held on Wednesday at 12 noon Brisbane Australia Time (AEST), 3 weeks of each month.

As your coach, I’ll personally host each and every call we have during the Prosper coaching intensive. I don’t outsource or delegate coaching calls to sub-coaches or contractors. I’ll be your personal guide, host and biggest cheer-leader the whole way through.

The calls will all be hosted on Zoom with the video on, so we can see each other online as we connect on our weekly calls (you are welcome to turn the video off, if you prefer). Each call will be scheduled to go for 90 minutes, however, if we are deep in conversation, I value insights and transformation over keeping a strict time schedule, so occasionally we may go ‘over time’.

On some calls we may not get to hear from each and every participant, however I’ve found there is so much insight to be gained from listening to others’ experiences, it is hugely worthwhile to show up and participate on each of the calls. We will use a red, orange and green light system to prioritise the urgency of member’s desire to be coached, so if you have an urgent matter, you will get priority. Some weeks you may be cruising along with implementing your action steps and be happy to simply listen as your fellow Creative Hearts are coached, and other weeks you may be facing a challenge or chomping at the bit to find out the next action you need to take, and you’ll get to have the microphone as you have my and the group’s full attention.

There will also be teachings, new practices and workshop activities woven into our calls, to help you along this journey – implementing both the inner and outer work necessary to bring your income stream(s) to life.

If you have a job, young children, or something else that makes our time slot difficult for you, but you are a wholehearted Yes to receiving the support of our circle, I invite you to see this as an opportunity to get creative, set some new boundaries, and ask for what you really desire in this one precious life. You may decide to ask for support from a nanny or your family to watch the children while you’re on the calls, or you may have a conversation with your boss and negotiate an extended lunch break, perhaps offering to make the time up later. It may require you getting creative, but the deeper you commit to this, the more you will get out of it.

I also record each call and make the recording available to the group a couple of days after the call. This is helpful, as Creative Heart’s often find they want to go back over the calls to revisit the lessons learned.

Yes! A major component of the Prosper intensive is the community forum.

To support our community of Creative Hearts and make sure we are faced with less distraction and overwhelm, I’ve decided to host the community in a space that is NOT on Facebook.

I’m very excited to announce the Prosper Community platform comes with an app for both Android and Apple phones, and has a simple interface to navigate both on your computer or phone, making it easy to stay connected with the group whether you’re at home or out and about.

We will be using the Prosper Community Forum as a private, sacred space where you will be encouraged to post updates of what you’re working on, your intentions for the week ahead, and as a space where you can ask for and receive support between our calls. It will also house the recordings of all our calls, resources for you to download to help you bring your income streams to life, and much more.

The power of community is life-changing.

In my other programs I’ve seen how being in community changes us. As Creative Hearts, having our way of seeing and experiencing the world honoured and validated is life changing. It helps us to take the steps we need to take care of ourselves and our energy so we can show up and do the work in the world our heart is calling us to do. That’s why I’m so excited to have our community housed in a sacred, easily accessible and beautiful online space – meaning the power and support of your Prosperous creative community is just a click away through out our time together, 24/7.

No. This program is for all gender identities. For your information, I identify as a woman and use she/her pronouns.

Every Creative Heart who joins this journey is starting from a different place in their lives and in their work. So where you begin, meaning the experiences you already have had, your capacity in terms of resources and energy to focus on developing your chosen income stream, and the stability you have in other areas of your life will all influence your results.

What I can say is this, if you feel called to have the support of a circle of Creative Hearts who have your back and are on this journey with you, and you feel you would flourish with the love, encouragement and guidance of a creative mentor and coach who will cheer you on every step of the way, then you are bound to experience results no matter where you are starting from. It could be in the first week, or it could take a number of months before things really ‘click.’

Life isn’t a race. And I value flow, over striving.

Having the right support could mean the difference between making huge leaps and bounds in your creative dream, or feeling stalled, frazzled and stagnant trying to do it all on your own. You may find you have so much presence and clarity that you can see the vision of the big, beautiful, bold picture of what you are creating, and also, through the inner work you do, the patience and mindful awareness to take the effective, intentional baby steps which make that dream come true.

I can promise you this: I’ll be present, listen wholeheartedly and be sensitive to your needs, holding space for what is most important to you in this season of your work and life. We will have powerful and meaningful conversations, and most likely plenty of good belly laughs too. I’ll be sensitive when you need a gentle nudge to push you forward and when you need to rest, slow down and simplify along the way. More than anything, I’ll encourage you to be kind to yourself, to trust yourself and I’ll enthusiastically remind you of what you’re capable of, even when you may not be able to see it for yourself right now.

I promise to coach you in a way that makes you feel deeply heard, seen, and looked after during our time together. And I will encourage you to follow your heart and bring to life your creative dreams at the pace that works best for you.

I love to work with folks who are committed to personal growth and want to build Flourishing and Prosperous creative lives. As such, I am committed to making this coaching accessible and I do provide a partial scholarship application process.

There are only a very limited number of partial scholarships available and they are predominantly earmarked for folks who hold a marginalised identity or who live in a country where the exchange rate to Australian dollars isn’t favourable.

However, given the current state of the world with the global pandemic, I’m offering additional places this year, so I encourage you to apply if finances are holding you back.

If you would like to apply for one of the partial scholarship spots, please fill out this form.

If you have a job, young children, or something else that makes our time slot difficult for you, but you are a wholehearted Yes to receiving the support of our circle, I invite you to see this as an opportunity to get creative, set some new boundaries, and ask for what you really desire in this one precious life.

You may ask for support from a nanny or your family to watch the children while you’re on the calls, or you may have a conversation with your boss and negotiate an extended lunch break, perhaps offering to make the time up later and explaining how it will benefit them. I’ve set my alarm and gotten up before sunrise to work with coaches internationally, so perhaps you may be willing to adjust your routine for our calls one day each week. It may require you to be bold and get creative, but the deeper you commit to this experience, the more you will get out of it.

Think of this as an opportunity to set your life on a trajectory that will support your creativity, fulfilment and ambitions. I’m here to help you make this way of being in the world your new normal. If you’d like some help with making this happen, I warmly invite you to get in touch with me by booking in through the apply now button on this page.

As your coach, I guarantee you this: I will support you and show up for you 100% every time we meet on our coaching calls and within our community.

I’ll be present, listen wholeheartedly and be sensitive to your needs, holding space for what is most important to you in this season of your work and life. We will have powerful and meaningful conversations, and good belly laughs at times too. I’ll be sensitive when you need a gentle nudge to push you forward and when you need to rest, slow down and simplify along the way. More than anything, I’ll encourage you to be kind to yourself, and remind you of what you’re capable of even when you may not be able to see it for yourself right now.

I can also guarantee if I know this is not going to work, I will tell you. I promise to coach you in a way that makes you feel deeply heard, seen, and looked after during our time together and encourages you to follow your heart and bring to life your creative dreams.

My one request is you give this process 100% too. Bring your honesty, curiosity, open-heart and playfulness and don’t hold back. During our time together we can achieve incredible results in your business and life, all you need to do is be brave, follow your heart & create more.

I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you in building your flourishing, prosperous creative life.
