My biggest dream was always to be creatively self employed in a way that felt TRUE, in alignment with my values and my soul. The Creative Dream Incubator has been that dream come true for the last thirteen years and I’m grateful for it every day.
I’ve been reflecting on the last 13 years and a lot of my reflections become rants about how the industry has changed.
But actually it’s me that’s changed.
Our dreams are sacred. They come from the part of us who wants to help us heal and grow.
So, following your dreams will heal you and grow you. Which will change you.
And I have changed.
It's fascinating to me how we always think we know how we'll change as we heal and grow - but then we surprise ourselves. So I am surprising myself.
I keep writing, deleting and re-writing this post.
There are so many different things I could say about this and I have no clue which of those things I want to say.
I think back to myself 13 years ago making this choice and feel so much gratitude for my younger self. All of her determination, courage and hard work have made my life so much better. I do cry thinking about it.
✨Thirteen years in, I believe this more than ever: Our dreams are our most sacred selves showing us the way✨
There is a mystery to creative dreaming. And as I grow with this work, I become more open to that mystery.
And I am thrilled to keep doing this work this year.

60 second meditation:
Hands on heart, take a deep breath and send yourself love. Hold here and then exhale slowly, imagine sinking deeper into your heart.
Keep your breathing nice and deep and slow, stay steady in your heart.
Thinking about HOW you’re going to approach your goals and dreams can still up fears and doubts. This is totally natural. Give yourself space to have your feelings without letting them take over and sabotage your dreams and goals.
Today’s prompt:
Your ideas for how to do this:
Brainstorm and explore your ideas!
You never have to already know how to do a thing before you do it.
Almost no one knows how to do the thing before they do it! I've been working with people and their dreams for a long time, I've helped a lot of people accomplish a lot of things - NONE OF THEM started out already knowing HOW. You learn by doing. You can take little steps and learn as you go. And grow as you go!
And of course if you want support for taking those steps - join the Dream Book community!
We’ll do monthly coaching and intention setting calls all year to help you figure out your next steps and show up for your dreams consistently all year long. With tons of practices and forms of support for being able to make that happen.
You deserve your dreams.
Your dreams are your soul calling you towards your truth. This is what you are here to do. Your dreams show you how to be your authentic self. As opposed to being whoever and whatever the world tells you to be.
And if we are ever going to change the world, and it's becoming more and more urgent that we do, we have to start by BEING who we really ARE. And our dreams are here to help us to that.
So I would love to do this work with you in the new year, in Dream Book.

60 second meditation:
Imagine a ball of hot pink light hanging in front of you, filled with the quality of joy.
Breathe deep, breathe in joy and fill your whole body with it. As you exhale, see how deeply you can sink into your joy.
Keep your breathing nice and deep and slow and stay deep in your joy.
Today’s prompt is about reflecting on all of the other prompts:
Look through everything you have written about what you want for 2024. Consider crossing out anything that won’t truly make you happy.
Remember we dream from inside of dominant culture, so it’s going to impact our dreams. Take some time to really look at this, and notice which dreams feel like joy in your body and which do not. This tells you what is really yours, and what is what you think you should want. You can cross those things out!
