Rediscover joy and clarity in your creative work
If you're ready to move past creative blocks, nurture your authentic voice, and build confidence in your work, my personalised coaching will transform your creative process and help you rediscover your passion.
LET’S TAKE THE FIRST STEP
Facing Fear
Let’s say there was a way to overcome your greatest obstacle right now. But the pot of gold sits at the end of a dark tunnel.
Would you walk through the tunnel to get to it? Or would you give into your fear and avoid it?
I have always experienced avoidance as a slow, shadowy presence eating away at my insides. It seems trivial at first, like a tiny termite, but as it lingers the damage it causes can sink an entire ship.
Fear, on the other hand, is something I experience only in the moment before facing it. Once I've faced my fear, I become free of it.
“Successful people have fear, successful people have doubts, and successful people have worries. They just don’t let these feelings stop them.”
— T. Harv Eker
“These sessions have brought me closer to myself in ways that only me and my internal monologue know. Making decisions now feels calm and exciting instead of me impatiently waiting for results. And overall I now allow myself to relax into the idea that I might not know what's around the corner but I trust myself to handle it my way.”
- Edzai Soper, Conceptual Creative
Coaching Snacks to Feed The Soul
What are you most afraid of? What is holding you back?
Saying No
Afraid to stand up for your vision so as not to rock the boat, at the risk of losing yourself in the process.
SOMETHING TO CHEW ON
What if saying no to what is uninspiring frees up the space and energy to say yes to what inspires you?
TAKE A BITE
Think about ‘no’ not as something that you stand to lose from, but something that you and those around you stand to gain from.
“When we avoid difficult conversations, we trade short-term discomfort for long-term dysfunction.”
— Peter Bromberg
Not Feeling Worthy
Choosing to stay small instead of leaning in and taking the space - at the risk of never being seen and constantly missing opportunities.
SOMETHING TO CHEW ON
What if your self worth was locked in a cage which only you have the key to? Would you hold on to the key or open up the cage?
TAKE A BITE
No one but you has the power to make you feel worthy or unworthy. Which means you can choose to step into your power right now.
“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy...that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist... The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.”
— Martha Graham
Rejection
Chasing acceptance or validation from others over true self expression.
SOMETHING TO CHEW ON
What if being rejected by some can help you see more clearly who your real tribe is? Helping you selectively filter through those who don’t share your vision and focus on building a community that does.
TAKE A BITE
Think of rejection as a torch that helps you focus the spotlight on those who lift you and help you grow.
“Create an environment where you’re free to express what you’re afraid to express.”
— Rick Ruben
Not Making Money
Anxious that your choices might not lead to financial security.
SOMETHING TO CHEW ON
If money is the finish line and you are at the starting line, what should you be focusing on? The finish line, or the first step?
TAKE A BITE
By focusing on the end goal you risk tripping over the opportunities that are right in front of you.
"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you."
— Maya Angelou
Failure
Worrying about never achieving your goals.
SOMETHING TO CHEW ON
Without the opportunity to rise up from the ashes, how will you ever meet your strength?
TAKE A BITE
Accepting that failure is your greatest teacher will give you the best chance at success.
“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
— Thomas A. Edison
“Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will.”
— Suzy Kassem
Not Being Good Enough
Comparing yourself to others and feeling like you’ll never match up.
SOMETHING TO CHEW ON
Who could possibly express who you are better than you?
TAKE A BITE
Art is what you do, not who you are.
“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Success
Feeling overwhelmed and finding it hard to cope with the speed of your progress.
SOMETHING TO CHEW ON
What if you chose to turn your success into your purpose? What if it's an act of service, something bigger than you?
TAKE A BITE
Choose to focus on what is inspiring and keep walking in that direction.
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts”
— Winston Churchill
“When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”
— Audre Lorde
MY SERVICE
Step into your creative power
I offer a highly personalised coaching service. Before working together we will organise a discovery call to create a tailor made programme that suits your unique needs. To achieve the optimum results I will be using effective, evidence based coaching tools with an invitation to use music as the channel.
This is a safe space for anyone looking to gain clarity on their true authentic voice and find the conviction to stand by it, express it freely and effectively, and to celebrate it. I choose to serve creatives who resonate with any or all of the fears mentioned and who are ready to do the work to face and overcome them.
Who is it for?
“Our levels of success will rarely exceed our level of personal development, because success is something we attract by who we become.”
— Jim Rohn
“Navigating the modern music industry can be daunting and extremely challenging. Carrie has created a programme that is truly transformational for creatives, supporting and supercharging their mindset so that they are not just ready, but inspired, to authentically and resiliently carve their own path.”
- Tim Major, Co Managing Director at Sony Music Publishing
