I’m allowed not to be perfect

“I now feel I am allowed not to be perfect, I am reminded that it’s OK to work in ways and structures that suit the creative psyche. Over the course of a creative life, we make many things: there isn’t one static moment of perfection. We are all allowed to develop.”

Get The Creative Companion

A bi-weekly newsletter for creative professionals: actors, artists, designers, directors, makers, musicians, performers, photographers, producers, stylists, writers – and anyone else who earns a living from what they create (or aspires to).

I talk about the challenges of the creative life, offer solutions that have worked for me and my coaching clients, and share resources, tips and links from our growing community of brilliant creatives.

Creative work can sometimes feel lonely. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Join us!
