The Artist Boat
The Artist Boat is a creative mentoring analogy. I’m a huge fan of personal development and I challenge myself to grow with monthly intents that connect to my BIG DREAM each month and understand my own lessons as I go. I practise all of the framework I share with my clients and you can find blogs I write too. Would you like to align your daily tasks to building your ambitious creative longer term dreams? To make more space for the things that put fire in your belly? To add magic and gratitude to the everyday? Do you feel like you sometimes lack focus or find yourself wandering about not really knowing where you should focus your energy? You’re in the right place! The concept is simple and it’s purpose is to get you to a place where we only bring things into our boat (life) which serve us to travel to where we want to be.
