The Creative

Q: Are there any prerequisites or recommended preparation before starting the workshop?

There are no prerequisites for joining the workshop; all are welcome regardless of background or experience. However, I encourage participants to come with an open mind and willingness to engage in self-reflection and exploration. You may find it helpful to set aside dedicated time each week to reflect and complete the provided exercises.

Q: How will the workshop help me sustain the progress and insights gained beyond the four-week duration?

The workshop is designed to provide you with tools, strategies, and insights that you can continue to apply long after the four weeks are over. You'll develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your values, and your goals, which will serve as a foundation for ongoing personal growth and development.

Midlife Review

Midlife is like your closet.

Stuffed with pieces from the past that are taking up space...items that don’t fit, aren’t your style, and making it hard for you to see what you really want to wear.

Some gems in there just aren’t getting the attention they deserve.

This overloaded closet makes it challenging to get dressed in the morning, and you end up feeling exhausted and uninspired.

You keep thinking that you “should just be grateful” for everything you have and find a way to make this mishmashed collection work, but it’s a weight on your shoulders.

Most of us can relate to this metaphor because even the most organized and intentional closets need reviewing, editing, and pruning.

Life — especially midlife when we’ve had a chance to accumulate so much materially, energetically, habitually, relationally — is like that, too. Now and then, we need to stop and take stock.

The equivalent to...

That sweater you never wear — might be a friendship that drains you and takes up time you could be using for something else.
The pants that don’t fit anymore — might be your relationship with your work that badly needs some alterations.
The suits taking up space — might be everything you do for other people that stop you from hearing what you want and need now.

I want you to feel as light, hopeful, energized, and clear as possible in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.

When your life is decluttered,

There’s more time and energy for the things that matter.
You have the space to hear yourself and carve out time for your dreams and desires.
You have more peace, creativity, and curiosity.

That's why I created this four-week workshop.

The Creative Midlife Review:

Keep, Tweak, Let Go

The best way to kick off a fresh start is by creating space to review, reflect, and respond to what's working and what's not. This workshop will give you that carved-out, dedicated time for what might otherwise get kicked down to the bottom of the to-do list.

By the end of the four weeks, you will:

Know what you cherish and want to keep investing in.
Know what isn’t working and want to let go of.
Know exactly what you want to do next and how you want to do it.

Each week, I’ll email you some reflection questions and/or exercises to bring to the weekly Zoom call, and we’ll work through them together, expanding, deepening, and moving forward what you've learned.

Our time together will be a mix of coaching and conversations.

“Decluttering inside and out is so powerful. If you want delicious conversations and questions to lead you to greater clarity about how you want to think about and live your life, then this workshop offers a pathway.”

– Kelly

Jennie

“I really enjoyed the prompts in the weekly ‘homework’. I ate that up. It structured my usually free-flowing thoughts. It forced me to consider some great questions. I also enjoyed hearing everyone’s experiences too.”

– Jennie

Frequently Asked Questions

What specific topics or aspects of life will be covered in the workshop sessions?

The beauty of this workshop is that the framework applies to all areas of life and can help you evaluate relationships, career alignment, personal values clarification, how you spend your time, setting boundaries, and identifying passions and goals for the future. You get to choose what you focus on and can come back to this framework again and again to help you evaluate new areas and situations.

How interactive are the Zoom calls, and will there be opportunities for group discussion and sharing experiences?

Our Zoom calls are highly interactive and designed to facilitate meaningful conversations among participants. While I'll provide guidance and coaching, there will be ample opportunity for group discussion, sharing experiences, and learning from one another. These sessions are a vital part of the workshop experience, offering support, encouragement, and valuable insights from fellow participants.

Are there any prerequisites or recommended preparation before starting the workshop?

How will the workshop help me sustain the progress and insights gained beyond the four-week duration?

Can you provide more details about the coaching approach used during the sessions?

I will ask questions, offer reflective listening and do some “spotlight coaching” with permission. Spotlight coaching is when one person volunteers to be coached in front of the group. These short but impactful coaching sessions are valuable for the person being coached and the participants who are observing the coaching, as we always learn something about ourselves by witnessing someone else’s reflection. I am skilled at guiding the call based on the needs of the group, and while I will always have an intention for the call, there is no set-in-stone agenda. The magic of these calls is that we co-create them.

The cost for the four-week workshop is CA$ 297 (plus applicable tax for Canadians) and is limited to no more than 12 participants.
