I’m here to help you thrive as a creative professional.
You are a musician, writer, artist, designer, photographer, entrepreneur. You work in the arts, or a creative industry such as TV, film, fashion, or publishing.
Perhaps you’re taking a new direction with your work. You’ve reached a certain level of success, but you want to go further. Or you just want to keep up with the rapid pace of change in your industry.
Maybe you want to do your next big project with less drama, fewer sleepless nights. You want more balance, more fun – more inspiration.
If any of this feels like you, then welcome! You’re in the right place.
My name is Sheryl, and I help creatives find the success they want, making work they love. Because what you make matters.

Why you need a reset routine
Most creative lives are full of interruptions, disruptions, curveballs. Or even just holidays! Here’s how to get back into flow quickly
Adults need play too. Especially creatives!
Making time to play, explore, try new things without needing it to yield an immediate result is an essential part of any creative practice. When you’re self-employed and overstretched, it can also be the part you neglect!
This short, practical book explains why you might need to bring more playfulness into your life and work – and gives 365 ideas to start you off. This book is for you if:
- Your creative work is feeling grey, uninspired, heavy and difficult.
- You’ve read Julia Cameron’s book The Artist’s Way but never found time for the Artist Dates (or you couldn’t think what to do).
- You want to bring more playfulness into your life.
- You’ve lost touch with your creativity and you want to come back to it.
- It’s been a long, long time since you’ve given yourself a break.
It will help you get into flow with your creative work more easily, step back and see what’s really important (and what’s just busywork), feel more inspired and alive – and just have more fun!
Available from Amazon, at £8.99 (paperback) or £5.99 for Kindle. I appreciate that not everyone wants to use Amazon, so you can also buy the eBook directly from me for £5.99. (Works with all eReaders.)
