E213 | A Message For Those Feeling Creatively Stuck
Your Art Matters
There comes a point in your creative journey where you start to question everything. You’re showing up, you’re trying, you’re taking steps but it still feels like something isn’t quite clicking. I’ve been there. In fact, as I reflect on ten years of building United ArtSpace, I can see just how many times I felt like I was getting nowhere. And yet, those moments were shaping everything that came next. If you’re feeling that nudge, that sense that there’s more for you creatively even if you can’t fully see it yet, this is your reminder not to ignore it. And if you’re ready to...

E112 | Make your goal so small it's ridiculous not to do
Your Art Matters
Have you ever felt stuck because your goals feel too big, too far away, or just… overwhelming? It’s easy to get paralysed by the “what’s next?” in life or in your creative work. I recently heard a phrase from M in our Creative Living community that really resonated: “Make your goal so small it’s ridiculous not to do.” It’s a simple idea, but when you break things down into tiny, manageable steps, momentum starts to build almost magically. Celebrate 10 years of United Art Space with us - grab your tickets for our special in-person event below!

209 | You’re Not Behind - You’re Still Shedding
Your Art Matters
STEPPING GENTLY INTO 2026: PAUSE, REFLECT, AND PREPARE Happy New Year, my friends! It feels so good to be back. As 2026 begins, you might be noticing a quiet stillness - a feeling that the year hasn’t quite arrived, that you’re not ready to rush forward just yet. This is a beautiful time to slow down, to shed what no longer serves you, and to get clear on how you truly want to feel. For me, it’s been about noticing patterns, releasing old habits, and gently tuning in to what brings ease, joy, and creativity. Before the year picks up pace, take a moment with me: What do you need to let go...

Happy New Year, my friends! It feels so good to be back. As 2026 begins, you might be noticing a quiet stillness - a feeling that the year hasn’t quite arrived, that you’re not ready to rush forward just yet.
This is a beautiful time to slow down, to shed what no longer serves you, and to get clear on how you truly want to feel. For me, it’s been about noticing patterns, releasing old habits, and gently tuning in to what brings ease, joy, and creativity.
Before the year picks up pace, take a moment with me: What do you need to let go of? How do you want your days to feel as you step into 2026?
THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE: SHEDDING AND STILLNESS
This period has been about noticing what no longer serves me: physical clutter, teaching habits, limiting beliefs, and thought patterns. I’m shedding. And the idea of starting the year at full gallop doesn’t feel right just yet. There’s power in pausing, observing, and allowing the stillness to guide us.
I’ve been running my online event, Design Your Life, for over seven years. Usually, this season sees a surge of energy, goal-setting, and action. This year is different. The retreat, too, has shifted focus from goals to release, preparing us for the upcoming Year of the Fire Horse - a rare and potent astrological shift not seen since the 15th century.
FINANCIAL FREEDOM AS A STATE OF MIND
One powerful insight came to me recently: financial freedom isn’t about hitting a target number. It’s a state of mind. You can have millions in the bank and still feel anxious or restricted. True freedom comes from cultivating a sense of ease, abundance, and joy in your life - independent of the digits in your account.
This reflection has shaped my thinking for 2026. It’s led me to ask myself: How do I want to feel? How do I want to spend my time? These simple but profound questions are guiding me to design a life aligned with creativity, intention, and personal growth.
