I help people do the creative things they once only dared to dream about.

If you’ve wasted too much of your life waiting for the right time to do your thing, this is your moment. I’ll help you get your ideas out of your head and into the world– and do it with joy, passion and purpose.

If not now, when?

Hi, I’m Laurie.

I believe that creativity– not only in the arts, but in our day-to-day– has the power to heal our lives and change the world.

I’m here to help you bring your best ideas to the world + learn to love your life and yourself in the process.

If you’re done with living on auto-pilot and are sick of holding yourself back, I’ll help you break through creative and emotional blocks to access the freedom, focus, and courage it takes to finally put your ideas– and yourself– first.

And, oh yes, it will be fun!

“A creative life is an amplified life. It’s a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life. Living in this manner—continually and stubbornly bringing forth the jewels that are hidden within you—is a fine art, in and of itself.”

― Elizabeth Gilbert

Who would you be without all that angst?

When I made the decision to switch my focus from copywriting to coaching, I was mildly terrified. Coaching people to help bring their creative ideas to life meant that I had to be doing the same—no excuses. And yet…. I still found ways to rationalize avoiding my own projects (specifically my book).

That last one saved me. When I finally got quiet, I recognized that I was being run by my fear. I’d been scared that I had nothing valuable to say or that I what was doing had been done before. Mostly, I was afraid that I wasn’t good enough. And while sitting with that, this sassy voice inside me said, “Who would you be without all of this angst?” I had to laugh, because that’s what I was really doing—angsting—and it was getting in my way.

I’m rereading one of my favorite books on writing (and life), Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. I love this book so much because Annie

I see you. You’re the one with ideas. Great ones. And maybe so many that it’s hard to focus. You want to make a difference with your creative work, and yet, you may not see a clear path forward. You know you can do the thing you dream of doing, if only you had enough time. Or energy. Or backing. Or confidence.

Bringing your own vision to life is exciting. And it can be scary too.

I get it ( I really get it ) and I’m so glad you’re here, because you don’t have to do this alone. I’ll help you find ease, flow and momentum in your creative process, and I’ll support you when it gets dark inside. Together we’ll bend space and time, giving you more opportunities to focus on your creative work and amplify your impact. You’ll become bolder and more energized than you ever thought possible as you learn to slow down, develop deeper self awareness, and find alignment so that the life you create is a reflection of what you really love.

You matter. Your work matters. Your happiness matters. And there’s room for all of it.
