I’ve seen it happen again and again — both with my own creative work and with the writers I coach and mentor...

One moment, you feel frustrated, unsure, maybe even ready to give up. Maybe you think you have no new ideas or no new words for an existing idea. Maybe you feel uninspired, unmotivated or simply stuck. Maybe you're wondering why you're not writing...or why you are. Maybe you simply don't know what to do next. Maybe you're tired of waiting.

I have been to all those places in my writing. Multiple times.

Then something clicks. Maybe not right away, but always.

A door opens. A lightbulb flashes. A thunderbolt of an aha strikes. And suddenly I'm back in the game, wondering why I ever doubted myself or my writing.

That’s a breakthrough.

Breakthroughs, of course, don't always come with fireworks. Sometimes they're more subtle. An unexpected insight. A fresh perspective. A few words of unsolicited praise.

Any of those can reignite my passion and kindle a renewed belief in myself and in my writing...in my creative purpose.

That’s why I created my Breakthrough Coaching Groups for Writers, interactive, small-group experiences on Zoom where I can offer you those unexpected insights, those fresh perspectives and those words of praise...where I can spark within you the door-openings, lightbulb flashes and earth-quaking thunderbolts you might not be able to access on your own...at least not as easily.

In other words, where I can ensure that you get the inspiration, motivation, guidance, structure and support guaranteed to fuel your creative breakthroughs.

You don’t need to have a book or story in-progress to be part of these groups.

You don’t need any kind of “project” – either conceived or started.

You don't even need writing experience, although experience is no barrier.

All you need is passion, curiosity and an openness to fresh ideas and new solutions. All you need is a willingness to explore and a yearning to create. All you need is an open heart and an open mind.

Creative breakthroughs aren't reserved for "some day," nor are they exclusive to "some people." Creative breakthroughs are available every day to everyone.

That means they're available to you, as soon as you give yourself permission to stop waiting for the perfect time or the perfect writing space....as soon as you give yourself permission to say yes: Yes to your writing and yes to yourself.

My Breakthrough Coaching Groups for Writers are designed to help you do just that.

What You Can Expect

Over the course of six weekly sessions, I will walk with you through a transformational process I’ve honed through three decades of mentoring writers and other creatives, as well as through working through my own challenges.

Together, we will...

Gently explore the passion that is calling you – be it for a particular story or for a broader opening to your creative expression
Identify (without judgment) the issues, challenges and concerns that may be holding you back
Move you through and past (with compassion) those blocks, barriers and limiting beliefs and into alignment with your creative purpose
Create openings in your heart and mind – in your life – for your authentic voice to be heard and expressed
Commit to realistic, achievable goals that set you up for success
Celebrate your achievements and accomplishments to set you up for even more success
Create momentum to keep you succeeding long after your breakthrough group ends

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all course, nor does it have a fixed curriculum. Each breakthrough group is a unique, transformational journey that focuses on your needs, whether you are just starting out or are a seasoned pro.

What Might Your Breakthrough Look Like?

You might...

Finally connect with the heart of a story you've lacked the courage to start...or finish
Discover you have compelling, engaging stories to tell...and the skill and creativity to tell them
Find the time to write when a seemingly endless catalogue of obligations and responsibilities keeps getting in your way
Let go creativity-crippling perfectionism
Bust through paralyzing writer's block
Discover the courage to share your voice and your writing with others
Reclaim your passion for writing

In the end, of course, your experience will be unique to you. That's because my groups are always about your breakthrough...on your terms.

You Don’t Have to Do It Alone

My Breakthrough Coaching Groups for Writers are small...intentionally so. I want to make sure you get all the individual attention you need, and deserve.

Each group is a sacred space where individuality is celebrated, where vulnerability is encouraged and where no one has to try to fit in or pretend to have it all together.

There’s an alchemical synergy that occurs when we come together with other like-spirited writers who are also saying yes to their creative path.

The insights deepen. The resistance softens. And a kind of collective magic starts to take shape. That's why so many group members stay in contact with each other long after their six-week journey with me has ended.

Of course, I will be there to guide and support you each step of the way, with the same intuition, experience and compassion I bring to all my coaching and teaching.

The others in the group will be there too, contributing their wisdom, encouragement and experiences.

Listen to Your Heart

You don’t have to know why.

You don’t have to know what’s next.

You don't have to try to figure anything out.

You simply have for listen to that small, still voice that whispers, “It’s time.”

Because if you have read this far, it probably is.

My next Breakthrough Coaching Group for Writers starts Wednesday, August 20 at 6pm PT (9pm ET) on Zoom.

Spots are limited, and they tend to fill quickly.

If you’re ready to move forward, even if you’re not sure what that means, listen to your heart, take a leap of faith and join me for the awakening journey of a lifetime...for your creative breakthrough.
