Through the conscious expression of these truths, we can find a powerful emotional release and connection to universal truths. What do you (or one of your characters) need to confess that you could explore in a letter? Think about who you want to direct this confession to and write a letter about a secret or revelation that you have held inside. https://www.allthemanylayers.com/blog/2023/9/19/writing-to-heal monthly 0.5 2025-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1695158198638-18AVIZRGHFGHOO4BZCHX/image-asset.jpeg MAIN BLOG - writing to heal - REFLECTION EXERCISE For 15-20 minutes a day over a series of three days, write about a significant, emotionally transformative event that took place in the last two years. I suggest the two-year timeframe to narrow down the scope and increase the chances that your memory will be fresh, but feel free to deviate. First Day | Write down words, notes, phrases, sentences that come up when you think about the emotionally transformative event or moment. Write as many factual and observational details as you can. I chose to write about when my son unexpectedly moved out in the fall of 2021. Write every detail you can recall, nothing is too small to describe. If you run out of things to say before time is up, zoom out and/or zoom in, whichever one offers more recollections. An example of zooming out is: What was going on in the world at the time? An example of zooming in is: What were you wearing? Second Day | Write about how this event affected you emotionally at the time. Explore your internal landscape. Link your feelings to the specific facts you described in the first session. What did you feel? Why did you feel this way? How did these feelings about this situation affect the rest of your life? If you run out of things to say before the time is up, look at a line you already wrote and ask yourself: What else is this connected to? Third Session | Write about your perspective on this event now. Explore the things you know now that you didn’t know before this happened. What did you learn or discover? How and when did your knowing change? What meaning do you assign to this experience? What questions remain? How does your experience reflect the human condition? https://www.allthemanylayers.com/blog/2023/7/19/bridge-from-loss-to-love monthly 0.5 2023-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1689808701883-JYVK82TJFE9D4SNVGGS9/image-asset.jpeg MAIN BLOG - bridge from loss to love - REFLECTION EXERCISE Write a reflection about you or a character turning the pages of a photo album, listening to an old song, cooking a meal from their childhood, or some other pastime that brings up feelings of nostalgia. As you’re writing, think about nostalgia as a bridge from loss to love. Challenge yourself to include emotive descriptions and specific details to awaken this emotional response in a potential reader.

As a creative coach, I help writers and seekers reconnect with their voice, whether they’re working on a personal project or writing for self-discovery and fuller expression. I guide clients through reflective practices and storytelling techniques that uncover the deeper layers of their creative callings. Together, we develop nourishing habits, clarify values, and reimagine the stories they tell themselves—and the stories they’re called to share with the world. Maybe you want to reignite your creative spark, write your life story, start a heart-centered blog or business, build a platform or community, find a new direction in your career, enhance your leadership and advocacy skills through storytelling, or discover your creative voice and identity and see where it leads you. The possibilities are endless and unique to you. Whether your calling is general or specific, maybe you’re unsure how your creative calling fits into the rest of your life and if you’re willing to trade the comfort of the familiar for the fullness of who you’re called to become. Maybe ‘creative living’ seems out of reach—like something other people do. But what if creativity could become your tool for navigating not just the challenges in your personal and professional life but also the uncertainty, grief, and change happening in the world around you? What if you could infuse creativity into your everyday life—and find purpose, clarity, and courage in the process? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1679454792718-3SJ4K6ZCI92V0XLOE8KN/unsplash-image-VjdII_v1_6w.jpg Home - RECLAIM YOUR STORY Does this sound like you? You want a lifestyle that reflects who you really are—not just what’s expected of you—and aligns with your deeper values. You’re craving a more open, flexible mindset so you can explore creative possibilities that feel just out of reach. You miss the joy, freedom, and courage you once felt creatively, and you want to bring that energy back into your life now. You know there’s something inside you—an idea, a calling, a story, a book, but you haven’t yet found the words to name it or the clarity to complete it. You want to write about your life not just to share it, but to process, heal, grow, and maybe even inspire others. You’re longing for a creative practice that’s not just productive, but life-giving—something that supports your emotional, spiritual, and professional well-being. Your roles and responsibilities leave little room for creativity, and you're ready to be more intentional about refilling your own well. …but creative blocks, limiting beliefs, and resistance get in the way. My approach to creative coaching is to help you discover the inner blocks and old narratives that are blocking the flow so you can reclaim your story. This is the work we do here. And I’d be honored to support you on that journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/26564dbb-407f-4ca8-811c-8e18bafe3e8d/unsplash-image-KP7p0-DRGbg.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/26564dbb-407f-4ca8-811c-8e18bafe3e8d/unsplash-image-KP7p0-DRGbg.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/26564dbb-407f-4ca8-811c-8e18bafe3e8d/unsplash-image-KP7p0-DRGbg.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/614e8fc1-d08c-4d76-b354-b53d0bcde38e/Hill_11052025_Bethesda-4.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1653849898956-AKZB72ZPZ1W1UWP6HKUB/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%283%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1653850052381-K73AOBFD5HL5V9ADG595/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%284%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1653850056555-GA00Q9S607184PTCVAYE/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%282%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1653850061411-K3WBRSNNKVFZQL092S7V/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%281%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1660453372802-IGB2BLYK40KO8SOAH7IB/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2831%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1653850066397-RGXX69693T9T0JPIAJGC/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1653852085883-MRPQGHNYLDG4AAY92Z59/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%286%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1660453363647-1YDSSLACWKVCS23CHJRP/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2832%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1654957645869-J0E0A4HHPATV519B5523/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%288%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1654957652487-W6Q42BEW1J7IF99CZRCM/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%287%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1654957880344-R7H2MR0P4IHBDIHV8B30/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%289%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1654958052638-K31QNG510NEVRFC4KQ3E/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2810%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1654958146791-NFUHL3WMBC3P0N09G7SS/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2811%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1660453407338-NYSQFBGLBLAXRBGSVR5Q/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2828%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1597806675965-3OI0YLIUFN5XTYC17UUS/TraciElaine.GGRenee.2017-7.jpg Home - Hi, I’m GG.

In my book, Story Work, I wrote about a defeated narrative I’ve carried for most of my life: The belief that my mental health and sensitivity made me broken, destined to struggle no matter how hard I tried. Even with all the time, energy, and faith I’ve poured into healing, reclaiming that narrative is not a one-time breakthrough. It’s a lifelong practice. Because they don’t disappear. The old stories linger just waiting for a setback, a disappointment (or a series of them!)—anything that will give them the audacity to whisper: See? I told you. But this is where Story Work comes in. Not to erase the old stories, but to recognize and reimagine them. Story Work teaches you to challenge the narratives that shrink you, and rewrite the meaning you give your experiences. Choosing a more compassionate, truthful story, even when the old ones try to pull you back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/ce62b06a-474d-4f08-9002-78e4dd5f5ebc/IMG_5072.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - transformational storytelling intensive - OUT OF THE SHADOWS the healing power of personal narrative Time and again, I’ve used writing to face my limiting stories head on. Through my writing practice, I’ve identified memories and experiences, truths and lies, desires and fears, and explored them from different angles on the page. I’ve traced the patterns and storylines that these dynamics have created in my life. And when I felt ready, I followed my urge to publicly share my stories—in writing through essays and books, and orally through workshops and communities. This creative alchemy has helped me process difficult emotions, transform them into artful expressions, and connect with others. This is the healing power of personal narrative. I’ve found liberation writing about my mental health, family estrangement, career challenges, financial wounds, and more. By facing these stories with compassion and curiosity, I’ve gained not only personal clarity but also the opportunity to build a creative platform that reflects the life themes that are central to who I am. Writing has allowed me to explore the conversations I want to engage in, the topics I want to continue learning about, and the humanity I want to express. What once caused me shame has become a source of abundance, insight, and connection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/824f0078-8072-4ad3-88cf-49e1e636b7a9/unsplash-image-A2etrC5ipw4.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - transformational storytelling intensive - 8-Session Curriculum Breakdown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/824f0078-8072-4ad3-88cf-49e1e636b7a9/unsplash-image-A2etrC5ipw4.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - transformational storytelling intensive - The Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1bcd7f5a-3398-4aab-85a2-fe5ce3722d08/IMG_6289.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - transformational storytelling intensive - Your Facilitator GG Renee Hill is an author, creative coach, and workshop facilitator whose work centers writing as a tool for healing, self-discovery, and creative expression.

Many of us are conditioned to treat creativity as a luxury—something extra, optional, or even frivolous. We don’t always recognize the direct connection between our creative expression and our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. And because of that, we don’t carve out space for it. We push it aside. We tell ourselves we’ll get to it later, when life slows down, when we’ve accomplished more, when we’ve ‘earned’ the right to focus on it. But the truth is, weaving creative exploration into our lives is one of the most powerful ways to improve our well-being, deepen our sense of purpose, and grow personally and professionally in an authentic way. I hear the concerns about not having enough time, energy, clarity, or know-how to commit to creative self-discovery. But the truth is: the inklings and nudges you have are there for a reason. And with the right guidance, structure, and support, you can give them the attention they deserve in a way that is nourishing and not overwhelming. Practice to Presence is a three-part series designed to walk you through this journey step-by-step. From practice, to vision, to execution, each 2-hour workshop builds on the one before it, but can also stand alone. You can join one workshop on its own or take part in the full series for the most impact. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/05388328-64a4-4033-8f17-5b278cfa01c7/ggrenee_06052025_095349+-+headshot.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - practice to presence: a three-part workshop series - FINDING YOUR LANE our paths are shaped by our passions Poet Nayyirah Waheed said, “Your art is not about how many people like your work. Your art is about if your heart likes your work.” For the last 12 years, I’ve been self-employed as a full-time creative. Coaching and facilitating have grown naturally out of my writing practice, becoming another form of creative expression, my heart’s work in action. Over the years, I’ve filled countless journals, blogged regularly, created e-books and e-courses, self-published and traditionally published books, and worked with clients one-on-one and in groups. My work has taken me into universities, non-profits, companies, and communities—supporting artists, students, executives, academics, writers, and non-writers alike. Through it all, one thing has never wavered: my compulsion to write, to study life, and to uncover the layers of story: my own, my clients, and communities. The personal and collective, the visible and the hidden. I’ve explored the factors that keep us from our stories, the barriers that make expression feel risky or impossible. I’ve studied both the emotional challenges and the strategic hurdles we face as creators. What courses through all of my work is a deep curiosity about life and the human experience. At its core, my pursuit has always been about love—the love that exists beyond pain, the love that fuels creativity, the love that connects us to ourselves and each other. I’ve learned that: When you commit to your creative practice and find the threads that connect your work, inspiration becomes endless and your impact becomes inevitable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/d668387c-2219-4cb0-a271-10c4e99d67f4/unsplash-image-gn1M-Cdm0io.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS -

the story work healing intensive - HEALING IS A CREATIVE PROCESS Story Work is a unique process of unlearning and reimagining that allows you to find new meaning in your life experiences. This six-session group experience is a healing intensive based on my book, Story Work: Field Notes on Self-Discovery and Reclaiming Your Narrative. This series will give participants the opportunity to receive coaching and community support as they are guided through six creative processes designed to transform limiting beliefs and wounds from the past into healing narratives. Through this work, we learn to harness the wisdom of our lived experiences and live more fully expressed lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/77b34267-27c1-414b-8849-53a1fb03a06d/IMG_2692+%281%29.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive - RECLAIMING YOUR STORY Hi, my name is GG and writing saved my life. For years, I allowed my confusing childhood and bad decisions in young adulthood to define how I felt about the quality and worth of my life. In Story Work, I write about the stories I told myself (and desperately hid from others) that kept me from getting the help I needed. I believed that I was prewired for mental illness and that I’d spend the rest of my life waiting for my mind to betray me. That I didn’t deserve happiness or abundance because I’d made too many mistakes and disappointed myself and others too many times. I believed there was something broken inside. These limiting beliefs showed up in my life as painful patterns, my life situations taking on the form of my thoughts and feelings. Writing opened my mind to the idea that I could change my story. There’s a life-changing shift that happens when you realize that no matter what you’ve been through, your story can be a source of strength. By honoring your experiences with curiosity instead of criticism, your story becomes a source of wisdom and guidance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/ac1f4f57-71cb-4d86-863b-2c5f5f076792/unsplash-image-YNM4KStg78I.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive - Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/ac1f4f57-71cb-4d86-863b-2c5f5f076792/unsplash-image-YNM4KStg78I.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive - The Framework https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/ac1f4f57-71cb-4d86-863b-2c5f5f076792/unsplash-image-YNM4KStg78I.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive - The Investment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/ac1f4f57-71cb-4d86-863b-2c5f5f076792/unsplash-image-YNM4KStg78I.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive - Learning Outcomes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/34693a52-4f34-4747-9aae-c5139615d6cc/IMG_5980.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive - AM I THE RIGHT COACH FOR YOU? Writing took me from living a defeated story to finding a creative vision for my life. I spent years trying to hide my heart. I always felt like I was having a different experience than everyone else, and that no one would understand or care about my heart-centered, soul-focused point of view. I fought against this part of me. I believed when people told me that my sensitivity was a weakness. I believed the inadequacy I felt when I couldn’t find work that matched my gifts. I made choices that ignored my needs and then I wondered why I felt so lost and afraid. I know now that it couldn’t have been any other way because I needed to learn so I could teach. And be a catalyst for other sensitive souls with stories and testimonies that the world needs. Writing is how I carved out a place for myself and found the courage to be seen. Now, my mission is to help others improve the quality of their lives through the power of the written word. I approach coaching and facilitating as a teaching artist, with lessons from my creative journey infused into the strategies and tools I offer including practical insights for developing process and craft, as well as personal development support for building courage and resilience.

Once you start looking at your life as a story, full of turning points and transformations, you can observe your memories, thoughts, and imagination differently. You can discover your ability to reshape the narratives that don’t serve you, and with this awareness you can uncover new storylines for your life that inspire you. Our stories hold wisdom for us. When we avoid this calling, we avoid our healing. Often, we avoid the journey because: We know we will uncover hidden beliefs, needs, dreams, and desires that we’re scared to face. Someone taught us that it’s weak or self-absorbed to spend time reflecting on the wounds we need to heal and the needs and desires we want to fulfill. We think we will become sad, depressed, afraid, or consumed with negative emotions when we face difficult truths. We don’t believe that we are capable of finding the words to articulate our stories. We’ve been taught that if we tell our stories, they will be used against us. We think we don’t have time to incorporate this work into our daily lives so we say we’ll do it “one day.” You don’t know how or where to start. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1652289290302-Z38KRKN2X1U2U6A0E6P3/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%288%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1652289300932-WCT4CPF3Y89P7YV052SR/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%287%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1652289409028-E18JH10VHOHJF12BI5KG/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%2811%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1652289886611-JT6GBJ1PMZPQMRNROXHR/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%289%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1652289894147-ZGHLCZZXKSAWVAAUGILB/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%2810%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1652290208638-45GTIT5JNL2LCYB74Y45/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%2812%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662041438106-NPBP4TJOQHPVH6LC4POU/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2832%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662041641865-292JVXQSM7E69OQAOQ08/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2831%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662042162680-DCGSTLRRL0SBFT06TOAK/4%5B1%5D.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662042445106-I868NSYK8KV51YF8FL3V/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2830%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662042445227-4UB2JVT711VKGRGRPIXZ/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2828%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662042575715-BI9QQUBHPMO07F7NNXRI/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%289%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662042493103-NSCYPE9GNJHSXZMY4RBN/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%2813%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662042492708-1HGQHPF619J61BG5PK7U/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%2814%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662042492603-EIK0C5KP7RX7CKCK32RI/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%2815%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the story work healing intensive https://www.allthemanylayers.com/individual-workshops/creative-courage-summer-2025 monthly 0.5 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/6765921f-30c0-4859-aad2-4092ce663e20/image-asset.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive - The Creative Courage Writing Intensive A 12-week integrative experience for creatives, soul searchers, and storytellers who want to find a deeper level of self-expression, creative courage, and confidence through writing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/9a29dcbb-f2f2-4a3b-bb68-5812e13e856f/image-asset.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive - LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR A JOYFUL CREATIVE LIFE Integrate self-discovery and creative development to build courage in your most authentic voice This three-month group intensive is offered once a year and takes a holistic look at creative courage through self-discovery and personal storytelling.

Maybe you have ideas that live in notebooks, on post-it notes and vision boards; but you’ve stalled on them for months, sometimes years. When you do set aside time, you feel resistance and disconnection from the work, and the frustration stops you from making progress. If you are experiencing resistance when you fix your mind on a specific project or goal, I show you how to zoom out and reconsider your overall creative practice, which starts well before you sit down to write, draw, paint, plan, or however you make your art. Imagine a lifestyle where you know what fuels your creativity and you mindfully incorporate habits and rhythms into your life that keep your mind, body, and soul replenished. Imagine developing a process that you trust to pull you through challenges and bring your creative visions to life. The Creative Courage Intensive provides detailed guidance on how to cultivate your own creative process, and develop the discernment, mindset, and habits that give you the courage to live the creative life you envision. photo credit: @luca_nicoletti https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/34693a52-4f34-4747-9aae-c5139615d6cc/IMG_5980.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive - WHY WORK WITH ME? Writing took me from living a defeated story to finding a creative vision for my life. The practice of writing helped me reframe old stories about mental illness and its impact on my life. Now my mission is to help others improve the quality of their lives through the power of the written word. When I struggled with my mental health as a young mom, I kept it to myself. Not wanting to appear weak or unstable, I thought I could handle it on my own without talking about it. This is the example that was set for me when I was growing up—we didn’t talk about my mother’s mental illness. But keeping my truths silent was eating me up inside. When I finally sought out a creative outlet to heal, I felt called to contribute to healing discussions around vulnerability and mental wellness. I stole time to write at lunchtime, late at night after putting the kids to bed, in parking lots in between chauffeuring them around. Inspired and awakened, I couldn’t stop if I wanted to. I would sit in meetings at my corporate job and daydream about the books I wanted to write, and the creative life I wanted to live. Stories became my lifeline, and eventually I left that job and followed my calling to help others find their voices. My creative journey has taught me to rely on authenticity, curiosity, and a growth mindset to carry me through each new challenge, and this is the energy I instill in my clients. Through the Creative Courage framework, you will come away with fresh perspectives and actionable tools to cultivate the creative freedom you seek. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1698071820288-0P1H4Q8WPF8IJM4TPQ6G/image-asset.jpeg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive - A FRESH PERSPECTIVE Creativity is most genuine when it’s revealed — not without resistance — but in spite of it. Do you have a creative calling that you can’t seem to start, continue, or finish? Is there a story you need to tell that inspires you and intimidates you at the same time? Perhaps you have an urge to reconnect with your inner artist and rediscover your whimsicality and freedom of expression. This intensive is the answer for those who value creative expression, but struggle to overcome doubt, self-consciousness, uncertainty, and conflicting responsibilities. One of the fears that keeps us from acting on our creative callings is the fear that we will disappoint ourselves. We don't know where to start to guarantee success. We don't know how to keep going when life interrupts. We fear that our results won't do our vision justice. What if we start climbing and never reach the top? What if it's all a waste of time? In this group, success comes from showing up. The answers are hidden in the work. We have to live our way through the questions. Through a combination of self-study, group coaching, community wisdom, and storytelling, the creative courage framework leads to a fresh perspective on writing and the role it can play in your life. photo credit: @jentheodore https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/186109c8-980e-48c8-8e1a-1a1d5ebcb04c/unsplash-image-Ci5l9fZwtNw.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive - CREATIVE COURAGE PARTICIPANTS ARE: Artists who want to understand their creativity on a deeper level Self-healers reclaiming their creative dreams and identities Wellness Professionals who are navigating the emotional labor of holding space for others Corporate and Academic Professionals writing for deeper vulnerability and expression Entrepreneurs seeking story inspiration and creative well-being Advocates writing their stories for a purpose-driven cause Coaches and Consultants building a story-based platform to connect with their ideal clients Parents and Caregivers who are committed to carving out time for their creative callings Neurodivergent writers seeking help with focus and accountability Neurotypical writers seeking help with surrender, imperfection, and vulnerability Aspiring authors seeking ideas for developing their craft and process Anyone who wants to use writing as a tool for fuller expression https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1715447288298-RDFV35EGDFPPHFXHMCCN/FULLY+EXPRESSED+%282%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1715447291911-GHR93H6M3Q9MIN148MNX/FULLY+EXPRESSED+%283%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1715447295674-W8OA1FIDO0FMADXMBSOF/FULLY+EXPRESSED+%284%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1715447299669-E52N2J1JQJFUYMEHVSHV/FULLY+EXPRESSED.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1698087744046-GTDJGHZ2VV9E6TZJKY6Y/image-asset.jpeg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive - THE POWER OF RECLAIMING YOUR STORY By the end of this experience, you will have tools to: + Reconnect with your inner child and your imagination to reaffirm your creative identity + Recognize where your creative blocks come from and how to work through them + Release the defense mechanisms that lead to self-censoring and self-denial + Become inspired by creative discomfort instead of paralyzed by it + Focus your creative intelligence and identify what type of support you need based on your creative type + Develop a trusted process by observing your habits, patterns, distractions, and obstacles in a strategic way + Increase your capacity to take purposeful risks and invigorate your life with creative experimentation + Debunk limiting beliefs, build courage, and refine your voice in a supportive creative community + Bring more of your creative ideas to life in your personal and professional life photo credit: @patresinger https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1698203792324-5A5GUOQX3TAKQY4PW2Q5/image-asset.jpeg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive - MY HEART-CENTERED APPROACH How I coach you to embrace vulnerability and embody your creative identity It’s my life’s work to help people reclaim their creative voices, values, and visions. Combining my professional experience as an author, coach, and facilitator with my personal journey as a self-healer, and mental health advocate, I’ve spent the past ten years creating blogs, books, journals, workshops, and coaching programs that center writing as a tool for healing, personal growth, and expression. My coaching sessions combine the practical insights of a writing workshop with the radical acceptance and emotional communion of a support group. I approach coaching and consulting as a teaching artist, sharing lessons from my journey along the way. A great way to get a feel for what you will experience in Creative Courage is to watch the 20-minute welcome video that goes along with the pre-workshop writing guide that new participants receive when they sign up. I invite you to set aside a few moments to yourself, grab a journal, and watch the video linked below. In addition to learning more about the writing intensive, you can jot down the reflection questions and use them as a self-study practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1652289290302-Z38KRKN2X1U2U6A0E6P3/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%288%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1652289300932-WCT4CPF3Y89P7YV052SR/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%287%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1652289409028-E18JH10VHOHJF12BI5KG/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%2811%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1652289886611-JT6GBJ1PMZPQMRNROXHR/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%289%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1652289894147-ZGHLCZZXKSAWVAAUGILB/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%2810%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1652290208638-45GTIT5JNL2LCYB74Y45/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%2812%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662041438106-NPBP4TJOQHPVH6LC4POU/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2832%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662041641865-292JVXQSM7E69OQAOQ08/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2831%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662042162680-DCGSTLRRL0SBFT06TOAK/4%5B1%5D.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662042445106-I868NSYK8KV51YF8FL3V/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2830%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662042445227-4UB2JVT711VKGRGRPIXZ/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2828%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662042575715-BI9QQUBHPMO07F7NNXRI/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%289%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662042493103-NSCYPE9GNJHSXZMY4RBN/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%2813%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662042492708-1HGQHPF619J61BG5PK7U/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%2814%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662042492603-EIK0C5KP7RX7CKCK32RI/COURSE+GRAPHICS+%2815%29.png INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - the creative courage writing intensive https://www.allthemanylayers.com/individual-workshops/2021/1/22/fully-expressed-writing-to-overcome-imposter-syndrome-p9b4j monthly 0.5 2023-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1681959535507-UJCQYLD13XWQLH739I7A/unsplash-image-IcUbKfIuQ70.jpg INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS - vulnerability in personal storytelling (self-study) “When your dreams are bigger than the places you find yourself in, sometimes you need to seek out your own reminders that there is more.

the afterlife - october 22 | weekly warm-up photo: @dmey503 This exercise is adapted from the NY Times article mentioned below. Consider a hypothetical scenario, drawn from P. D. James’s novel The Children of Men. In Ms. James’s novel, humanity has become infertile, with no recorded birth having occurred in over 25 years. Imagine that you found yourself living in such circumstances. Nobody now alive is younger than 25, and the disappearance of the human race is imminent as an aging population inexorably fades away. How would this affect your desire to create? As a writer/creator, you might see little point in continuing to write , since these creative activities are often undertaken with an imagined future audience or legacy in mind. Furthermore, faced with the knowledge that humanity would cease to exist soon after your death, would you still be motivated to give birth to new ideas and new life? https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/93rbz5caasgx677-lsjnt-64awc monthly 0.5 2023-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/540103af-3bf7-4e6d-8f8b-562319343450/image-asset.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - giving birth - october 22 | weekly warm-up photo: @tolga__ Write out a birth plan for a creative calling that you hope to give birth to in the future. - who do you want as your birth partner and/or support system? - where do you want to give birth? what environment do you need to create to bring this idea to life? - what habits do you need to cultivate to stay mentally and physically healthy? - how do you plan to continue to nourish your idea after birth? https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/93rbz5caasgx677-lsjnt monthly 0.5 2023-10-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/e8503472-429d-41eb-bb3b-98ae9e8f060a/image-asset.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - new beginnings - october 15 | weekly warm-up image by: @gallarotti Reflect on your life and make a list of endings that have resulted in new beginnings. There are a few ways you can journal about this list. - You can tell yourself the transformational story of what happened, going from the ending, to the liminal space in between, to the new beginning. - You can look for patterns or themes that you see when you look at your list and journal about what life lessons or universal truths that you see speaking to you from these experiences. - You can choose some other approach that speaks to you. The objective is to explore the insights that come up when you observe the endings in your life from a place of curiosity. https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/93rbz5caasgx677 monthly 0.5 2023-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/2c6b0121-4989-42e5-8b9f-ffc22b96236f/image-asset.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - mother nature - october 8 | weekly warm-up image by: @peterlaster Write a love letter to nature. After you write your love letter, look for the parallels and disconnects you notice between your reflection on nature and your perspective on your own life. In what ways, when you are writing about they sky, are you also writing about yourself? You can ask yourself, when you are writing about your favorite animal, what truths are you also revealing about yourself? How do your cultural background, personal beliefs and history inform what you say? Experiment with using figurative language to describe the connections between human nature and the universe we call home. https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/2023/4/2/z6240o4yc9j1qgodqtslp6816xzjlr-xm8en-aj9ze-wgm5h-xc4sj-tnckx-y7l3j-wymxy-4cpgy-c3shy-yadng-7t7at-5aa6w-axxml-dw69c-xpfjj-xed7a-n9x7c-9ycdt-r3n5n-jbdey-dhgyb-63txs-wjn9n-h62m9-t8y7y-c48el monthly 0.5 2023-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/c325449e-b1e6-4555-aca5-f3aaf7c74d9f/image-asset.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - words in the body - october 1 | weekly warm-up image by: @nuvaproductions Writing from the body invites us to write and listen to our senses for wisdom and insights. Write a letter from your body to you. You can decide how you want to conceptualize the essence of “you”. Maybe your body is writing to your soul. What does your body remember? What does your body want you to know? If your body was a messenger, what message does it have for you? As you write, take on the body’s point of view: how it knew what it knew, what it sensed, experienced, and felt. This prompt can be used again and again to uncover material by focusing on different parts of the body. You can also narrow your focus by choosing a specific period of time like childhood, pregnancy, a time of illness, etc. You can also consider what your body has to say in different states: during exercise, during an argument, in stillness, and so on. https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/2023/4/2/z6240o4yc9j1qgodqtslp6816xzjlr-xm8en-aj9ze-wgm5h-xc4sj-tnckx-y7l3j-wymxy-4cpgy-c3shy-yadng-7t7at-5aa6w-axxml-dw69c-xpfjj-xed7a-n9x7c-9ycdt-r3n5n-jbdey-dhgyb-63txs-wjn9n-h62m9-t8y7y monthly 0.5 2023-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1695511557018-68SALERCAAZMMF1BH815/image-asset.jpeg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - silent witness - september 24 | weekly warm-up image by @alleslea Write a letter to a place. It could be your current home, or another place that you have called home in the past. It could be a city where you lived or love to visit. You could write about a place that you’ve never been.

For this exercise, write about a character that is based on you, or choose someone in your life and write about a character version of them. (This distance can help us be more honest.) Using words and phrases, make a list of the character’s qualities and for every one that you think of as negative, list all the positive ways that quality can be expressed and vice versa. Next, write a story or description of the character to experiment with conveying these qualities to the reader in an artful way. https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/2023/4/2/z6240o4yc9j1qgodqtslp6816xzjlr monthly 0.5 2023-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/e50fe9b4-65a4-4396-b44b-9647735bcb11/unsplash-image-1Ycipckjhb8.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - shadows of the tree - april 2 | weekly warm-up Reflect on the prompts below and choose one to focus on for this exercise. Once you’ve chosen one and answered it, think about an experience or season in your past that showcases this dynamic. (Your Tree of Life may be helpful.) Journal about how your awareness, thought process, and emotional response to this shadow have evolved, leading you to new self-understanding. How does this theme show up in your current writing projects? … What do you obsess over but feel guilty about obsessing over it? In what ways do you feel unsatisfied, no matter how hard you try to feel grateful? Which parts of yourself do you judge? What are the emotions that you find difficult to let yourself feel? Which emotions were invalidated during your childhood? Which sides of yourself do you tend to mask? What do you wish people saw in you? Where do you compromise your authentic self to please other people? https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/2023/3/26/z1xji9aiwnz9u25yl6h6q48to1bj4j monthly 0.5 2023-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/926e8599-1606-4b37-9f05-66fe818125a0/unsplash-image-Nhs0sLAn1Is.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - a single refrain - march 26 | weekly warmup What is your single refrain? How does it connect to your roots and origins, if at all? Who are you outside of how the world typically sees you or what they expect from you? Are there aspects of you that don’t come out or get explored in your writing because they’re outside of this single refrain? What holds you back from branching out? Journal about the level of responsibility you feel to represent your background or identity in a certain way. https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/2023/3/19/filling-in-the-blanks monthly 0.5 2023-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1679271503077-HW3IR68GZIMTY5OPZ80K/unsplash-image-GAv6SVHKQiw.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - connecting the dots - march 19 | weekly warm-up Reflect on the Tree of Life exercise from last week and choose an aspect of your past that reflects a theme that is present in your life right now. I’m sure there are some influences and connections you can easily name right away. This exercise is for the ones that are not obvious to you. To explore the connections, ask yourself a series of questions, but don’t attempt to answer them. Just ask as many questions as you can. If you do attempt to answer them, do it in a separate journaling session and don’t force the answers. Perhaps more questions will come up. Whatever you do, continue revisiting the exercise until it offers you the connection you are seeking, however it shows up. https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/2023/3/12/tree-of-life monthly 0.5 2023-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/cf15d824-c3d2-4a64-8e37-a697de7a5953/unsplash-image-EwKXn5CapA4.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - tree of life - march 12 | weekly warm-up This exercise comes from the Tree of Life exercise by David Denborough. (If you’ve taken one of my memory workshops, this exercise will be familiar.) I suggest drawing a tree and filling it in with words and short phrases to answer each question. Then once you have your drawing, you can see what themes and storylines you might want to pursue further in your journal. There’s a nice example here. Roots Where do you come from? Hometown, state, country, culture, nationality, family, community, religion, organization, etc. Name and describe. Trunk What are your values? What makes you feel alive and purposeful? What skills have helped you along in life? Capture your gifts and interests. Branches What are your hopes, dreams, wishes and callings? These can be short-term, long-term, personal, or universal. Leaves Who are the people in your life who have impacted you in a positive way? Friends, family, public figures, ancestors, etc. Flowers What legacies and life lessons have been passed on to you and what do you wish to leave to others? https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/2023/3/5/yubgu7w0raka9x0pkbz1supfsnwrnx monthly 0.5 2023-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/d2e070be-6696-4cbb-be2f-e3bfd45892a5/unsplash-image-3wylDrjxH-E.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - metaphors for healing - march 5 | weekly warm-up For this exercise, think about your memories, experiences, relationships, and observations in terms of metaphor. You can use the suggested words below, and choose which words you could use as a metaphor for some aspect of your life. (You can also come up with your own metaphor.) Do a freestyle write based on this connection and see where it goes. Extend the metaphor as far as you can. Suggestions: Dance, Fire, Murder, Water, Storm, Building, Dress, Car, Cooking, Birth, Poison, Tree, Road, House Life Topics: Family, Friendships, Relationships, Writing, Career, Failure, Success, Loneliness, Desire, Hunger, Examples: My career is a river… My family is a tree with roots, a sturdy trunk and branches… Our friendship was a storm… His love was poison… https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/2023/2/26/enter-post-title monthly 0.5 2023-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1677448411581-WKU0UA0ZC1Z1375RP5JC/unsplash-image-kSTcz5gE018.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - show your passion - february 26 | weekly warm-up Write a short story or vignette that shows how you love writing instead of telling us that you love writing. You can also choose a passion other than writing if you like. How can we see your passion? What are the things you do or habits you have that best display it? What is the dialogue of the voices in your head while you’re doing it? Can you personify the passion by giving it human qualities? Experiment with different ways to dramatize it. https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/2023/2/19/ihjqb8780jyov72iq4e3242btb9chr monthly 0.5 2023-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1676853131404-VCCO90AB8S1K27373ICE/unsplash-image-rfqaMzumGQQ.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - body language - february 19 | weekly warm-up The second step of last week’s exercise asked you to write about how a significant event affected you emotionally at the time that it took place. You were to explore your internal landscape and your feelings about the specific facts you described in the first step. This week, review what you wrote, and rewrite it by showing instead of telling. You can do this by avoiding internal dialogue (thinking), and instead describe your internal body response, show your interactions with other people, show any external physical reaction. Did your heart beat faster? Did you notice a certain smell? Did your shoulders slump, did you step backwards, or lean forwards? Then turn the camera outward and describe what was going on around you by showing instead of telling. Keep in mind that you don’t have to write poetic descriptions. The goal here is simply to describe using observation and simple words. https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/2023/2/12/writing-to-heal monthly 0.5 2023-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1676244463496-892EIR8S6VEXK2UELYIZ/unsplash-image-HW4-pMJy5pQ.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - writing to heal - february 12 | weekly warm-up For 15-20 minutes a day over a series of three days, write about a significant, emotionally transformative event that took place in the last two years. I suggest the two-year timeframe to narrow down the scope and increase the chances that your memory will be fresh, but feel free to deviate. First Day | Write down words, notes, phrases, sentences that come up when you think about the emotionally transformative event or moment. Write as many factual and observational details as you can. I chose to write about when my son unexpectedly moved out in the fall of 2021. Write every detail you can recall, nothing is too small to describe. If you run out of things to say before time is up, zoom out and/or zoom in, whichever one offers more recollections. An example of zooming out is: What was going on in the world at the time? An example of zooming in is: What were you wearing? Second Day | Write about how this event affected you emotionally at the time. Explore your internal landscape. Link your feelings to the specific facts you described in the first session. What did you feel? Why did you feel this way? How did these feelings about this situation affect the rest of your life? If you run out of things to say before the time is up, look at a line you already wrote and ask yourself: What else is this connected to? Third Session | Write about your perspective on this event now. Explore the things you know now that you didn’t know before this happened. How and when did your knowing change? What meaning do you assign to this experience? How does your experience reflect the human condition? https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/2023/2/5/vulnerability-without-reciprocity monthly 0.5 2023-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1675639179615-LYSZMXUZ5SFWG9KE7IHE/unsplash-image-GKx96wY_MoA.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - vulnerability without reciprocity - february 5 | weekly warm-up What do you need to do to take care of yourself through the vulnerability of exploring, strengthening, and sharing your voice?

It could be an unexpected phone call, a personal achievement, something you observed from a distance, a family setback, anything that had an emotional impact on you. Explore the moment’s significance to you. What values were being highlighted, challenged, or brought into focus? You can use the following prompts as guidance: What was important about this moment? Does it have a deeper meaning or is it part of a pattern in your life? What about this moment is a shared, universal human experience? What did or can you learn from the event? Don’t edit as you go and write with as much emotional honesty as you can. Make honesty the goal, not clever words and sentences. Your truest voice is revealed when you are radically honest about what moves you. https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/2023/1/22/building-a-world-that-i-love monthly 0.5 2023-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1674435232741-IDRL56DV6SX61QF2UMBZ/unsplash-image-DeoWFWz2pgQ.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - wanting to be understood - january 22 | weekly warm-up Choose another version of yourself or choose a character that you make up in your mind.

Consider what’s more powerful, the way you tell a story to your friends or when you write it down? Why? Who told you that there was only one way to write and real writers, established writers, writers who mean anything, write this way? It is through language that we find and make meaning of the world. So, what happens when that language we use is negated or deemed less than? How does that shape the way we see the world and our place in it?” - Vanessa Mártir Also: If you think of your writing as a celebration of your voice, how does that affect your mindset as you write? How can it help you write with more freedom? https://www.allthemanylayers.com/weekly-emails-and-exercises/2023/1/8/18ia29l1qmqgwjc4t2trb3si90rzaz monthly 0.5 2023-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/4d8a98fe-2bf1-45df-b141-375d3256f775/unsplash-image-agKWEYOFXCA.jpg Reclaim Weekly Emails and Exercises - a voice of your own - january 8 | weekly warm-up One way to rediscover your writing voice is to practice writing to your intended audience instead of for them. The exercise this week is to write a reflection about what courage means to you (or you can choose some other theme that’s been on your mind) and write TO a specific audience or person. Close your eyes and develop a clear vision of who you are writing to, and set the intention to be as honest and unfiltered as you can. Write until you’ve said what you need to say. Later, record yourself reading it aloud and then listen to the recording.

When you’re done, consider the following questions for reflection: What are the high points and low points? What scenes come to mind for each one? What can you learn from each of these touchpoints and pivots? What assumptions did you make at each point?

As an undergraduate, Michele Filgate started writing an essay about being abused by her stepfather. It took her more than a decade to realize what she was actually trying to write: how this affected her relationship with her mother. When it was finally published, the essay went viral, shared on social media by Anne Lamott, Rebecca Solnit, and many others. The outpouring of responses gave Filgate an idea, and the resulting anthology offers a candid look at our relationships with our mothers. While some of the writers in this book are estranged from their mothers, others are extremely close. Leslie Jamison writes about trying to discover who her seemingly perfect mother was before ever becoming a mom. In Cathi Hanauer’s hilarious piece, she finally gets a chance to have a conversation with her mother that isn’t interrupted by her domineering (but lovable) father. André Aciman writes about what it was like to have a deaf mother. Melissa Febos uses mythology as a lens to look at her close-knit relationship with her psychotherapist mother. And Julianna Baggott talks about having a mom who tells her everything. As Filgate writes, “Our mothers are our first homes, and that’s why we’re always trying to return to them.” There’s relief in breaking the silence. Acknowledging what we couldn’t say for so long is one way to heal our relationships with others and, perhaps most important, with ourselves.

actions needed to reclaim power over our narrative Story Work: Field Notes on Self-Discovery and Reclaiming Your Narrative is the latest project from author and workshop facilitator GG Renee Hill, forthcoming from Broadleaf Books in November 2025. All of us absorb and understand the world around us through stories. It’s how we make sense of our surroundings, our communities, and ourselves. There’s often truth and validity in these stories. However, the stories we tell ourselves are not an end-all, be-all. Instead, they’re all part of a larger, ongoing, unfinished narrative—one that we must continually refresh, expand, and contemplate to stay soft and open-hearted. The stories we carry can open or close our imaginations to what’s possible. That’s where Story Work comes in. Through essays and prompting questions, GG Renee Hill pens the raw material of her own life: an upbringing raised by a mother with schizophrenia, and a lifetime of internal and external forces trying to minimize that impact. It was a long, old, heavy story Hill silently carried with her—the powerless girl who lost her voice in the wreckage of her mother’s condition — until she turned to writing and began to change the meaning she’d assigned to her experiences. And she doesn’t stop there. Hill invites readers to the transformative practice of creative self-discovery through storytelling — treating our life experiences as creative material that we have the power to shape. For the person searching, Story Work is the answer that enables us to live with an open-hearted curiosity—one that both fuels and grounds us.

In 2013, I left my job in finance to pursue a career as a writer. I would spend the next several years turning my calling into a career as I navigated the learning curves, emotional ups and downs, and growing pains of becoming a full-time writer and business owner. Before I changed careers, I was overwhelmed and uninspired. Stuck in every sense of the word, I was afraid to be who I really was, say what I felt, and acknowledge my creative callings. I had a wall of self-defeating stories and limitations in my mind that I had to gradually tear down and prove wrong so I could find my true path. While I’ve always been a highly sensitive person, my creative career sent my emotions into overdrive. It wasn’t until I learned how to manage my energy and emotions that I was able make the lifestyle changes I needed to bring my creative visions to life. I’m passionate about supporting purpose seekers from all walks of life who want to overcome emotional blocks and bring a fuller expression of themselves into their lives and work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1658559189289-IVC9016GSY5IWVNHC61W/FullSizeRender+%285%29.jpg About - Now, I’m a facilitator and creative coach.

I started out my career working in financial services where I held various positions in proposal writing and client communications. When I left my corporate job to pursue self-employment, I had to rediscover my creative voice and learn how to be vulnerable in my writing. My journey began with blogging about self-discovery and self-publishing my first stories. Between 2014 and 2018, I self-published a free-verse memoir about heartbreak and healing, a book of essays for quiet women who want to be heard, and a mindfulness workbook— as I organically built a writing platform through social media and my local creative community in the DMV area. In 2020 and 2021, I was commissioned by Rockridge Press to write Self-Care Check-In and A Year of Self-Reflection, two guided journals that offer writing exercises and activities to promote well-being. My new book, Story Work: Field Notes on Self-Discovery and Reclaiming Your Narrative is forthcoming from Broadleaf Books in November 2025. Preorders are now open! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1658606554856-D7E132ZWW49VGPRNTPCN/2016-11-23+12.55.12+1.jpg About - I’m an advocate for mental health storytelling. Writing has helped me reframe old stories about mental illness and its impact on my life, and my mission is to help others improve the quality of their lives through the power of the written word. I grew up with an undiagnosed mentally ill parent and a family that didn’t talk about it. When I became a mother in my early twenties, I experienced postpartum anxiety, but I didn’t have the language or awareness to ask for help. Not wanting to appear weak or unstable, I thought I could handle it on my own without talking about it—like my family did. After I attended my first therapy session at 29 years old, I wanted to end the silence and contribute to healing discussions around mental wellness. Soon I began sharing my story online through blogging and hosting workshops. Stories became my lifeline, and I found my calling in helping others find their voices. photo: D.

As a workshop facilitator, I draw on a diverse background of corporate and creative experience to help individuals and groups understand their creative challenges and find values-based solutions. I present a holistic approach to creativity and personal development that emphasizes core values, mindfulness, and the power of individual and group narratives. I work with students, writers, educators, entrepreneurs, executives, advocates, and individuals from all walks of life who struggle with challenges like burnout, creative blocks, imposter syndrome, and procrastination, empowering them with strategies that support restoration and resilience through the peaks, valleys, and plateaus of their education and careers. I’ve worked with a variety of organizations such as The Writer’s Center, University of Maryland, Cornell University, Howard University, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, The Recording Academy, TaskHuman, Permission to Write, REWRITE London, and BAE Systems, Inc., teaching self-care strategies and storytelling techniques to diverse audiences.

If your organization wants to promote a positive environment by exploring group narratives and empowering individuals to express themselves authentically, research has shown that expressive writing is an effective tool to increase self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Through my signature writing and storytelling exercises, my workshops will enrich how your team thinks about communication and help them achieve new levels of collaboration and creativity. Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools that companies can leverage to show their values in action, engage their people, and create the kind of connection, curiosity, and trust that is essential to cultivating inclusivity and a culture of care in corporate spaces. In addition to working with companies, my work with non-profits involves teaching the heart-centered work of vulnerability and creative courage, which is integral to storytelling for a cause. A well-told story has the power to open hearts and inspire action. Whether you're trying to raise awareness or attract support, stories reveal the emotional impact of facts and events and illustrate the values that you want to uphold. I’ve done storytelling workshops and collaborations with corporations and universities like BAE Systems, Inc. and Cornell University, as well as non-profit organizations like The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, The Poise Foundation, Trying Together, and First Steps and Beyond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/d1bac73d-a508-4c84-9a7a-785cea7695b6/alex-loup-mwINQsW2KJs-unsplash.jpg BUSINESS WORKSHOPS - EMPHASIZE SELF-CARE AND EMOTIONAL WELLNESS “Both employers and employees don’t just benefit from practicing self-care; they need it to be successful.” — Enid R. Spitz If your organization wants to emphasize self-care and emotional wellness as key components of personal and professional development, my self-care focused offerings center writing as a tool to reduce stress, reflect on feelings and experiences, exercise your imagination, and set value-based goals for the future. When I first left corporate America to pursue writing in 2013, I soon became disillusioned and burned out from chasing success with the same hustle mentality that I thought I left behind. I said yes to every opportunity that came my way, only to realize that I could not tap into my full potential and build a sustainable career without a commitment to self-care and well-being. I learned that creativity is fueled by healthy practices. After studying the creative process for several years, I developed a signature framework called The Creative Courage Writing Intensive that focuses on process over results and the patterns of behavior that enable long-term creative fulfillment and work-life harmony. Now, I customize this framework for organizations that want to empower their people with mindsets and strategies that make their lifestyle habits work with the creative process and not against it to bring their ideas, projects, and goals to life. Companies that recognize that productivity does not have to be at odds with well-being are positioning themselves to lower turnover while increasing employee satisfaction, engagement, innovation, and success. My storytelling approach supports this mission—a creative approach to self-care. Through guided journaling and interactive discussion, we look at the origins of our inner narratives about self-care, work, and rest, and from there, we cultivate new stories and narratives that support healthier paths to our goals. I’ve done self-care focused workshops for organizations such as the University of Maryland School of Genetic Counseling and School of Public Health, Frontier Nursing University, and The Recording Academy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/ab6373a5-8982-45bd-a75b-3b7d478bb714/unsplash-image-o4JddHw5jC4.jpg BUSINESS WORKSHOPS - MASTERCLASSES AND WRITING WORKSHOPS “It’s not what you produce as you write that’s important, it’s who you become as you write that’s important.” — Louise DeSalvo I work with writing communities and literary organizations that offer workshops to individuals who want to write about their lives and tell their stories. I approach coaching and facilitating as a teaching artist, with lessons from my creative journey infused into the strategies and tools I offer, including practical insights for developing process and craft, as well as personal development support for building courage and resilience. What’s different about my workshops? I offer the practical insights and guidance of a teaching artist, and cultivate safe spaces that provide the radical acceptance and communion of a support group. My approach is to address the limiting beliefs and fears that cause creative blocks, so the unique perspective inside can be revealed and elevated. I believe that accepting yourself and your point of view is essential to any kind of writing, so I use interactive exercises to stimulate self-possession and creative courage. My workshops provide a safe space for connection, inspiration, and accountability between writers. Supporting writers holistically in this way allows them to build confidence and resilience, which leads to deeper clarity and conviction about their creative work. Current and past clients include The Writer’s Center, The Maryland Arts Summit, James River Writers, Maryland Nonprofits, Scribophile, F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Festival, Permission to Write, and more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/b43180c2-1aad-4859-ad4f-b62f269fe663/upcoming%252Bworkshops%252B%25252819%252529.jpg BUSINESS WORKSHOPS - The Creative Process Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/b43180c2-1aad-4859-ad4f-b62f269fe663/upcoming%252Bworkshops%252B%25252819%252529.jpg BUSINESS WORKSHOPS - Vulnerability in Personal Storytelling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/b43180c2-1aad-4859-ad4f-b62f269fe663/upcoming%252Bworkshops%252B%25252819%252529.jpg BUSINESS WORKSHOPS - Writing Transformational Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/b43180c2-1aad-4859-ad4f-b62f269fe663/upcoming%252Bworkshops%252B%25252819%252529.jpg BUSINESS WORKSHOPS - Beyond Burnout: Storytelling to Build Awareness, Connection and Resilience https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/b43180c2-1aad-4859-ad4f-b62f269fe663/upcoming%252Bworkshops%252B%25252819%252529.jpg BUSINESS WORKSHOPS - Journaling and Self-Care for High Achievers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/b43180c2-1aad-4859-ad4f-b62f269fe663/upcoming%252Bworkshops%252B%25252819%252529.jpg BUSINESS WORKSHOPS - Writing to Heal and Reclaim Your Story https://www.allthemanylayers.com/ggreneewrites daily 0.75 2026-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/d2cd760d-89af-4d2c-903e-739957684707/Hill_11052025_Bethesda-114.jpg INSTAGRAM LINKS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.allthemanylayers.com/the-story-of-you-writing-workshop daily 0.75 2018-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1537806420573-0PNJBUDDN6PW7R1WNAOI/the+story+of+you+%285%29.png THE STORY OF YOU WRITING INTENSIVES (ARCHIVES) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1538757773529-ZVHPGR3PQWW6E128TB9U/the+story+of+you+%2810%29.png THE STORY OF YOU WRITING INTENSIVES (ARCHIVES) https://www.allthemanylayers.com/words-that-move-self-study daily 0.75 2021-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1556410115898-4V8E8ORH0227I60G3E2D/FullSizeRender%2B%25281%2529.jpg WORDS THAT MOVE SELF STUDY - THE WORDS THAT MOVE SELF-STUDY COURSE IS FOR: + Writers of all levels who want to clarify their voice, message and delivery. + Writers who feel blocked and have lost confidence in their writing. + Anyone who wants to find a deeper level of self-expression, creative courage and confidence through writing. + Anyone who wants to inspire, influence and testify with their words. + Bloggers who want to write with more heart, soul and vulnerability without sacrificing strategy. + Writers who blog and want to build a platform for their work. + Writers, journalers and diarists who feel creatively isolated and want to build and connect with other writers. + Creatives and business owners who want to improve their storytelling skills to emotionally connect with their audience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1556424668301-03UMV82Z4AYPFHT7987T/2016-11-23+12.55.12+1.jpg WORDS THAT MOVE SELF STUDY - I CREATED THIS COURSE FOR WOMEN WHO HAVE A STORY INSIDE THAT THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO TELL. For the past six years, I've been creating content to help women find courage, clarity and purpose through writing. I’ve hosted live and online workshops and coached on-on-one and in groups, bringing women together to have meaningful discussions, tell true stories and connect through the love of language. I work with women who want to be more fully expressed in their lives but are uncertain about how writing can help them achieve that. They have stories they want to tell and ideas they want to share but may struggle to organize their ideas. Recognizing that there parts of themselves that only come out when writing, they seek to strengthen this connection. photo: dfinneyphoto.co https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1556428313395-WANY3MY27WVNLU15CYFV/Stock+for+Blog+%284%29.png WORDS THAT MOVE SELF STUDY - MY READERS AND CLIENTS WERE TELLING ME: “I want to write, but I sit down to do it and nothing comes out, so I get frustrated and stop trying.” “I want to learn how to write from my rawest self and be shameless and honest.” “I have a story to tell, experiences and lessons I want to share, but I don’t know where to start.” “I love to write but I’m not confident about how I write or that what I have to say matters.” “I used to write all the time when I was younger, and I want to reignite my writing practice.” “I don’t think of myself as a writer, but I want to create authentic content to build my brand.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1556432300180-AEVWQ2OAWRN32V6ZKKXF/Stock+for+Blog+%286%29.png WORDS THAT MOVE SELF STUDY - WORDS THAT MOVE WAS MY RESPONSE.

Your life is full of creative material. Maybe it’s that hobby you love, that you could talk about all day. Perhaps it's a process or practice you’ve mastered or a story inside that you are aching to tell. There people our there who could benefit from your experiences and the lessons you've learned. You have your unique perspective and your gifts at this time in the world for a reason. You have a message the world needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1556552240773-5E51Y18GQQ1AZ9S6VCSU/TraciElaine.GGRenee.2017-1.jpg INSPIRATIONAL STORYTELLING After 12 years of working in Corporate America, I found the work that inspired me to face my fears, invest in myself and use my strengths and struggles to help people. It had been there under my nose all along. I turned my writing hobby into a blog that evolved into a creative platform with books, courses and workshops. Since then, I've self-published a free verse memoir about heartbreak and healing, a book of essays for quiet women who want to be heard and a self-discovery workbook that inspires self-reflection and personal growth. I've always been tuned into the emotional currents around me and I have a curiosity for how people see the world + what makes them do what they do. I feel like my most authentic self when I am using my energy and influence to pull others into their higher selves. Discovering this has been a life long process. I became aware of it long before I began to value it and long before I started being intentional about it. photo: TraciElaine Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1556552865736-H7HMUDPVDO272STF2KDW/photo.jpg INSPIRATIONAL STORYTELLING - THE INSPIRATIONAL STORYTELLING WRITING INTENSIVE IS BASED ON 6 ASPECTS OF CREATIVE SELF-DISCOVERY.

Each one will highlight a specific theme from A Year of Self-Reflection Journal. These conversations will capture the vulnerability that I strive to showcase + normalize through my work. We will talk about the unique challenges that women face when it comes to navigating our lives and careers while staying true ourselves and in tune with our inner rhythms. I often talk about the power of words and conversations, and how they can empower or disempower us. I believe that open-hearted discussions about life and meaning can serve as portals for collective wisdom to pour in, fill our cups and ease our minds. My hope is that these conversations provide you with stories, ideas, and techniques that find you just at the right time and help you slow down, tune in and grow.

She loves using her perspective to expand the creative human experience and raise the standard for modern creative culture. She is based in Los Angeles and lives in Homegoods. Theme: Home Space (pages 28-31 in A Year of Self-Reflection) Kaira and I will discuss how to make your environment more reflective of who you are, the healing benefits of organizing and decorating your space authentically and how to incorporate more of what inspires you and less of what creates tension in your living spaces. Reflection Prompts: If you could change anything about your living or workspace to make it more reflective of who you are, what would it be? Use your five senses to describe your ideal space in detail. What room in your home is your favorite? Why? Choose an area of your home to clean, organize or redecorate. Which details that you listed about your ideal space are possible to implement now? Journal about the transformation process. Make a list of places you like to go for peace of mind. How does this environment bring you peace? Can you incorporate some of those characteristics into your home space? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1632156111539-WZ0PSQZU9QTZ0A0HIKN8/Headshot.jpg SLOW DOWN SERIES - Wednesday, September 22 @ 7 pm et Nia Ita Thomas (@niaitathomas) is a bilingual speech-language pathologist, educator and storyteller from Queens, NY.

Theme: Lessons in Gratitude (pages 95-100 in A Year of Self-Reflection) Nia and I will talk about the difference between surviving and thriving, and how to recognize abundance beyond money and material things. We'll talk about pursuing your interests to create a flow of inspiration and gratitude in your life, and how limiting beliefs can make us feel unworthy of the life we envision for ourselves. Reflection Prompts: Are you surviving or thriving? What do these words mean to you? What are you most grateful for at this time in your life? Make a list of the people, places, interests, hobbies, and simple pleasures that make you feel abundant. How does making this list affect your mood? Being honest with yourself can lead to powerful insights. To open your mind to more abundant ways of thinking, write down a list of things that you want to be, do, and have. In what ways, beyond money, do you consider yourself to be wealthy and prosperous? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1632761944338-U04LQ6B3X4K2TI5BXWSL/Dhill3%281%29_edit2+%282%29crop2.jpg SLOW DOWN SERIES - Wednesday, September 29 @ 12 pm et Dana Hill Robinson (@essentially.dana) is the CEO and Founder of COCOTIQUE, a deluxe monthly beauty subscription box for women of color.

How has it changed over the years as you’ve evolved as a person? Do you consider yourself to be successful? Why or why not? What boundaries must you have in place in order to achieve your idea of success? Does the way you currently spend your time and energy allow you to feel successful? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1630946195320-MDZ9ZVNBCQW49FTWPJT4/AYearOfSelfReflectionJournal_9781638074212_banners_FacebookBusiness.jpg SLOW DOWN SERIES - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.allthemanylayers.com/writing-circle-1 daily 0.75 2019-11-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1562228193714-N243TOP3IZG7PGWOMSM6/WRITING+CIRCLE.png Copy of WRITING CIRCLE - Develop a consistent writing practice and be part of a creative community of seekers.

The Writing Circle is a safe space for open-hearted women to share ideas, offer support, and inspire one another in an intimate virtual community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1562402989816-2TTBRS1O73FI8L58OSB7/TraciElaine.GGRenee.2017-7.jpg Copy of WRITING CIRCLE - I’m GG. Writer, Speaker and Advocate of Self-Discovery Through Writing. I've always been able to express myself most honestly through writing. In addition to blogging and writing books, six years ago, I started creating courses and content to help other women use writing to discover + express themselves authentically. I started with online courses and eventually added in-person workshops in the DC area, Atlanta and New York. I’ve also hosted workshops for The Writer’s Center, Maryland Arts Summit, and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., teaching my self-discovery techniques to diverse audiences. Writing allows us to cultivate an intimate place where we can be whole, and with the world constantly tempting us to cut away parts of ourselves, wholeness is something we desperately need to nurture. photo: TraciElaine Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1562402192551-SXKG5MSOJSDINHZ1Q3G2/FullSizeRender%2B%25283%2529.jpg Copy of WRITING CIRCLE - When women write together, masks come off, walls fall down and our souls come out of hiding. In my workshops, I’ve seen how the collective energy of the environment uplifts and connects people, giving them courage to express themselves in ways they didn’t know they needed. The feedback I hear most often is, “I wish I could do this every month!” I love to see participants chatting, exchanging email addresses and social media handles promising to keep in touch and form their own meet-ups. But it’s hard to maintain that creative high when you step out of the workshop bubble and back into the world where vulnerability is not the norm. In other words, you may leave the workshop overflowing with new ideas and inspiration to write, then life happens and you feel like you don’t have the time and you can’t find the words. We need to be intentional about inspiring ourselves and making time to be creative. We need the vulnerability. We need the challenge of being all the way honest somewhere without inhibition. Writing can provide that space. This community supports that effort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1562562639203-0PD4IFHCG3JTK9UY88Y9/MONTHLY+%284%29.png Copy of WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1562562756253-3G5FAER1KY75U9W2IGB4/MONTHLY+%285%29.png Copy of WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1562466419250-KSGJE3D6YU499PR2Q5LS/MONTHLY+%283%29.png Copy of WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1565413807034-3KZB0CZAJ0WDHWGZ7E4B/MONTHLY+%286%29.png Copy of WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1565413902229-UWZYOT8MLIZU8FVHWEM7/MONTHLY+%287%29.png Copy of WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1565413921831-83THU2ZGIAHIAMUMBYQK/MONTHLY+%288%29.png Copy of WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1562469265927-F6YHSAOJNN6PAPCNEP65/IMG-4914.jpg Copy of WRITING CIRCLE - The All the Many Layers Writing Circle Membership is $12.99/month or $99.99/year.

As a creative coach and workshop facilitator, I help people let go of old stories about who they are and develop new narratives that promote greater overall well-being and creativity. My personalized creative coaching sessions are ideal for writers, artists, entrepreneurs, managers, executives, activists, and leaders who wish to find a deeper level of self-expression, creative courage, and confidence through writing. Types of People I Coach: + Creatives of all levels who want to clarify their voice, message, and delivery. + Creatives who feel blocked and have lost confidence in their creative voice. + Creatives are identify as highly sensitive, empathic, and/or introverted and want to shine authentically without being drained by overwhelm + Purpose-seekers who are facing a transition in life and want to create a new vision for their future. + Anyone who wants to advocate for a cause they believe in by telling their story. + Bloggers, influencers, and content creators who want to write with more heart, soul, and vulnerability without sacrificing strategy. + Leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs who want to get comfortable with vulnerable storytelling to share their visions and emotionally connect with their audience.

I believe that creative well-being is influenced by mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being. I believe that approaching life with a self-care mindset allows the fullest expression of who you are to be released. A self-care mindset sets the tone for the way you do everything: the conversations you have, the way you manage your emotions, the way you choose commitments and handle conflict. It certainly sets the tone for the way you approach your creative dreams and goals. With this perspective, I present my clients with a holistic view of the creative process that includes self-discovery work, journaling techniques, self-care strategies, idea generation tools, and storytelling methods to boost creativity on a day-to-day basis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659996690177-3732ALDN5O341SIEJ6D4/unsplash-image-_3LNaZLAiGU.jpg 1:1 COACHING (2022) - THE ART OF VULNERABLE STORYTELLING My role as your creative coach is to help you journey from inner reflection to outer expression with courage. It’s important to note that I don’t provide book coaching, editing services, or life coaching services. In most cases, I can direct you to resources like books, videos, articles, and courses, and I can recommend peers who provide these services. I add value by helping you access the truth and vulnerability needed to be the storyteller you want to be. In my workshops, I’ve seen how the radical acceptance of the experience uplifts and connects people, giving them the courage to express themselves in ways they didn’t know they needed. Many participants tell me that it’s challenging to maintain that creative high when you step out of the workshop bubble and back into the world where vulnerability is not the norm. These 1:1 sessions are ideal for participants who want to supplement the workshop experience and receive custom advice on how to stay inspired daily, unravel creative blocks, and build long-term creative courage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/9a1ebc11-3f09-4318-b103-8ef5f855e573/danielle-macinnes-IuLgi9PWETU-unsplash.jpg 1:1 COACHING (2022) - 60-MINUTE BOOST SESSIONS This offering includes: + an intake form for you to share your creative challenges and questions in advance + 60-minute 1:1 session on Zoom to energize and focus your creative practice + Guidance on the inner conflicts that may be causing creative blocks + Guidance on understanding your creative process on a deeper level to make it work more naturally with your lifestyle + Guidance on discovering your authentic voice, content creation, and building an intentional platform + Self-care practices to support the creative mindset on a daily basis + Post-session summary + recording with recommended resources and exercises There are no refunds after services are rendered.

As a creative coach, I help my clients and workshop participants understand their creative work on a deeper level. I guide them through the process of developing positive life habits that nourish their creative potential. I help them refresh their values and reimagine the stories they tell themselves and the world. Maybe you’ve put your creative callings to the side and prioritized other areas of your life for as long as you can remember, only to find that no matter how much you accomplish and no matter how many expectations you meet for other people, you still feel a lack of personal fulfillment. You’re realizing how truly important it is to you to live an inspired, creative life. Maybe you want to reignite your creative spark, explore your life story, or start a heart-centered blog or business, build a platform or community, find a new direction in your career, enhance your leadership and advocacy skills through storytelling, or discover your creative voice and identity and see where it leads you. The possibilities are endless and unique to you. Whether your calling is general or specific, maybe you’re not sure how it will affect the rest of your life, or if you’re willing to risk the familiarity you have for the fuller expression you crave. Maybe ‘creative living’ seems like something other people do, or it seems like you can’t get there from where you are because of your roles, limitations, and responsibilities. What if you could infuse your creative work into your life and find a steady flow of abundance in the process regardless of results? I know from personal experience that you can. And I would love to be your guide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659806113979-8KFBUUIGIBZ6UZ74LN4K/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2827%29.png (2022) RECLAIM GROUP COACHING PROGRAM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659635256934-TFYQ3WTTRIBU3FC2YX09/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2826%29.png (2022) RECLAIM GROUP COACHING PROGRAM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659634998029-IF1R94HMYY9AJ8DRAKP9/42%5B1%5D.png (2022) RECLAIM GROUP COACHING PROGRAM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659635007249-DRLI5SH79QGJH3SF81SG/43%5B1%5D.png (2022) RECLAIM GROUP COACHING PROGRAM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659314416436-FBXFHSLUXIKYEAQ5LKYX/unsplash-image-2s9aHF4eCjI.jpg (2022) RECLAIM GROUP COACHING PROGRAM - What would it feel like to: — be guided through mindset shifts that allow you to overcome mental and emotional blocks to your inner creative voice? —practice creative vulnerability and courage in a safe environment while building community with other growth-minded souls? —have access to a coach who not only provides practical techniques but also mindfulness tools so you can manage the emotional dynamics of putting those techniques into action? — develop a values-based creative process that serves as trusted foundation for your future endeavors? —turn down the volume on your doubts and turn up the volume on your desires? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659498755427-0RR06PZV0BFVG0HAQ6ZE/unsplash-image-70l1tDAI6rM.jpg (2022) RECLAIM GROUP COACHING PROGRAM - Your desires are clues to your potential. You are worthy and capable of living the creative life you daydream about. A few years ago I decided to slow down, change my habits and lifestyle, and root my creative life in ease and flow instead of stress and struggle. At first, I felt like I was free-falling as I released control. I was tempted to put off dealing with my emotional bad habits until I’d achieved ‘enough’, but deep down I knew there was a bigger, better path for me, just like there is for all of us when we stop trying to force, control, and outmaneuver life. Although I craved a slow, intentional life, I thought of this desire as a weakness and confirmation that I didn’t have what it takes to bring my dreams to life. What I found is that when you learn how to consciously take care of yourself, you find this mental and emotional space to imagine more, to give and receive more. When you strip the old stories away, your gifts remain—clearer and more fertile than you perceived them before. Your life-affirming needs and desires become clues, inspiring your movements, guiding you toward your creative expansion. All in nature’s time. Once I got past the initial discomfort, I realized that slow could be my new unapologetic normal. Slow could be how I live, run my business, create my passion projects, everything—and without sacrificing opportunity or abundance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659301271279-MLYVUS5PVRHLF7S15BK6/gg+headshot+1.jpg (2022) RECLAIM GROUP COACHING PROGRAM - When I understood how to fuel my creative process through self-care, I found clarity, focus, and renewed energy. The path to living an authentic life starts with discomfort, then blossoms into ease. What I discovered through my journey of slowing down and prioritizing self-care is that I could schedule my life to experience it deeply and create a pace that is empowering for me. This has been the game-changing shift: realizing that the key to a sustainable process is leaning into my unique needs, values, gifts, so I can create from a place of natural curiosity, flow, joy, and service. There are many approaches to fitting creativity into your life, the key is to figure out what works for you. Through the Reclaim program, I bring together my personal and professional experience to provide you with awareness and options so you can discover strategies that work uniquely for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659305860642-4KXHOAB10H2BYBKETYX2/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2812%29.png (2022) RECLAIM GROUP COACHING PROGRAM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659304709844-25D07KX6HXES0SKOX2DU/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2814%29.png (2022) RECLAIM GROUP COACHING PROGRAM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659305036910-V51X5R0B8R2YY5RAOPQ4/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2817%29.png (2022) RECLAIM GROUP COACHING PROGRAM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659305044927-XYVZXWA53QA3710WZ1O7/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2818%29.png (2022) RECLAIM GROUP COACHING PROGRAM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659309476311-W1MD0V21KKCMG5ILBAYD/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2813%29.png (2022) RECLAIM GROUP COACHING PROGRAM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659309461325-7LCDYPXMCKE88JMTN771/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2819%29.png (2022) RECLAIM GROUP COACHING PROGRAM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1659326267907-J1861XGYV54QMIMAAZJB/unsplash-image-FbXp5aOX-fs.jpg (2022) RECLAIM GROUP COACHING PROGRAM -

If you’re new to my work, my name is GG and I’m an author and creative coach who helps individuals and groups unravel creative blocks. I create workshops that center writing as a tool for deeper connection to yourself, to others, and to the world around you. I believe that a fulfilling life begins with self-honesty and writing is a creative and accessible way to practice truth-telling, particularly if you’ve gone your whole life being conditioned to do the opposite. Many of us who have been conditioned to stay quiet and obedient are now consciously taking creative risks to live more authentic lifestyles. We’re learning how our stories can plant seeds of hope in ourselves and others. In addition to coaching and facilitating, I write self-help and memoir, mostly in the form of personal essays and blog posts. I’ve self-published three books, and traditionally published two guided journals. In July 2023, I signed with Ashley Hong at Gardner Literary, who is helping me bring my work-in-progress—a creative guide on the transformative power of story work—into the world. You can learn more about my professional experience here. There are many ways to get creative with your life stories. Whether you are writing to heal, to make your truth known, advocate, document, or teach. Whether your preferred medium is journaling, essay, memoir, fiction, poetry or blog. Whether you are a beginner, seasoned hobbyist, or professional, this is an opportunity to commit to the story work you feel called to do. In Inner Story, you are supported by a coach who specializes in helping blocked creatives become the storytellers they want to be in a healthy, intuitive, and sustainable way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1667271844019-D6LFZXSTA4CBLQW7FCGN/20.png (old) INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1667271844811-9CD14ZVDWG6N4YRYDBU9/22.png (old) INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1667271845555-V9V400UVJQLDC29LN6XS/25.png (old) INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1667271844707-DZXWCQ0AOM9MGD1TZ1RY/23.png (old) INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1668441148296-AX54R72GF2SCZ168QNJH/COURSE+and+WEBSTIE+GRAPHICS+%2850%29.png (old) INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1667271845453-QF6UP7B42NK81L9YB39X/24.png (old) INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/ff167cd9-d459-4ac1-bba7-204bb5159488/unsplash-image-2s9aHF4eCjI.jpg (old) INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - INNER STORY IS FOR YOU IF… You’re looking for a holistic approach to overcoming creative blocks and generating ideas for your personal story work. You are looking for a way to maintain the creative energy that you feel after taking a writing workshop or attending a storytelling session.

You’re looking for book coaching, self-publishing or editing services. You’re seeking 1:1 personalized coaching outside of the group workshop setting. You’re looking for a coach who you can access on a daily basis or a group forum you can interact with daily. (Participants often connect outside of the workshop group , and I do have a free private Facebook group.) You’re not looking for a holistic approach that incorporates mindset work, mindfulness practices, and self-care strategies into your creative practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1668311799193-Q2ZLUVFL9ML2A9D6G5OD/unsplash-image-MVCu1JIYuoM.jpg (old) INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - THE POWER OF COMMUNITY My workshops combine the practical insights of a writing workshop along with the radical acceptance and emotional communion of a support group. The following guiding principles create a safe, compassionate environment for writers to build courage and confidence: Vulnerability is Generosity When we share the truth of our creative journeys and life experiences through storytelling, we are offering up our humanity as a gift. This gift is honored and appreciated as a source of inspiration for the whole group. Magic in the Mess We value raw and unpolished reflections and open-minded curiosity. We encourage writers to embrace beginner’s mind, and to use this space to experiment with voice and craft. Examination over Exposure We reflect on our life experiences to discover themes and tell stories with purpose, not to expose our personal lives for shock value. Trigger warnings are offered to allow story listeners to make the choice to step away during any troubling topics. Confidentiality & Privacy No one is pressured to share, and the privacy of each writer is protected. Each participant agrees to the privacy policy when they sign up, which includes confidentiality. Keep in mind that I’m not a mental health professional, and this program is for creative purposes only. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1668315143329-BK69FUWM08CZ6RWC68RG/unsplash-image-vU2YJdNr8O8.jpg (old) INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN I SIGN UP? You will gain immediate access to the member area, where you can browse the bonus resources and workshop details for the current month. The weekly reflection emails go out every Sunday evening at 8 pm et, and the cowriting sessions are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All the details you need to access these events are in the member area. Inner Story workshop sessions take place on the second Saturday of each month. We spend the two hours giving writers the opportunity to share their work with the group. Sharing is encouraged but voluntary. Feedback is focused on helping the writer understand the impact of their writing and how it’s resonating with the audience. Everyone learns from each other. After each workshop, members receive the replay and a writing guide for the next session. Members can adjust the exercise to make it complement their personal writing intentions and goals.

Grounded in the Ghanaian principle of Sankofa, meaning "go back and get it," "it is not taboo to go and fetch what is at risk of being left behind," we will explore a writing prompt that encourages us to think about where we've been and how it's shaped us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/214593b2-1b9d-4bbe-bf6b-b80d554b49b2/0081.jpg (old) THE LAYERS SUBSCRIPTION OVERVIEW - SESSION #1: What are you afraid to say? w/ Ashleigh Owens Ashleigh is writer of personal essays centered around her experiences with mental illness.

My guidance is rooted in lived experience. I’ve built a writing life from the ground up—starting as a blogger finding my voice, to self-publishing my three books and creating my own courses, to becoming a traditionally published author of three more books centered on self-care and the power of the written word. I approach my work as a teaching artist, offering creative insights, writing techniques, and mindset tools drawn from years of navigating emotional blocks, personal challenges, and the deep inner work that lasting creative expansion requires. You can learn more about my background here. I believe that creative well-being is influenced by mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being, and that approaching life with a self-care mindset allows the fullest expression of who you are to be released. With this perspective, I present my clients with a holistic view of the creative process centered in techniques and strategies that boost creativity on a day-to-day basis and sustain long-term projects and a life-long practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/c9a4e156-024c-4b6b-9d6f-9daa224988b7/IMG_9822.jpg 1:1 COACHING - CREATIVE SUPPORT THAT MEETS YOU WHERE YOU ARE embracing the growth process Have you ever let yourself imagine all the places your creative callings could take you? For me, writing began as a way to stay connected to myself when I felt completely disconnected from the life I was living. In 2013, I was in a job that looked stable on paper but felt misaligned at the soul level. I knew I wanted something different, something more creative and purpose-driven—but I didn’t have a writing degree, connections, or a clear plan. What I had was curiosity, a longing to be heard, and the courage to begin anyway. So I started blogging. It became my testing ground—an accessible way to experiment with voice, subject matter, and the creative process. I explored everything from freelance writing and ghostwriting to course creation and self-publishing. I wrote vulnerably about the self-discovery work I was doing behind the scenes, and those honest reflections helped me build an audience and a community of heart-centered creatives looking to do the same. By 2019, I was deepening my craft and expanding my platform when I was commissioned to write two guided journals. That experience brought me into the traditional publishing world and taught me how to navigate real-world deadlines while still honoring my well-being and creative rhythms. I learned how to hold space for my personal life, responsibilities, and mental health—even while juggling multiple projects. In 2023, I completed the book proposal I’d been slowly building for months, signed with Ashley Hong at Gardner Literary, and sold my first book to Broadleaf Books. Story Work: Field Notes on Self-Discovery and Reclaiming Your Narrative (November 2025) is the clearest reflection yet of how I’ve used writing not just as a craft, but as a tool for personal transformation. It’s about how I moved from living a defeated, disconnected story to walking in my purpose—and how you can, too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1750371285101-LSTXPPPZS6H9O370ZI28/unsplash-image-d2USaZl1HCs.jpg 1:1 COACHING - EVERYTHING I’VE LEARNED, I BRING INTO MY COACHING WORK I know what it’s like to feel stuck, to second-guess your voice, to carry limiting beliefs that silence your creative potential and sense of purpose. I also know the power of writing to heal, to clarify, and initiate a new chapter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1749408501687-CC3JNHSM5Y16066M1FWR/unsplash-image-8T_EacPRf0g.jpg 1:1 COACHING - FOR YEARS, I TOLD MYSELF: JUST DO IT. If you have a creative calling, sometimes the classic ‘Just do it’ advice is exactly the kind of push you need. But if that were enough, you’d probably be off doing it already—and not here reading this. Some of us are responsive to a more mindful approach including: foundational work that helps you build courage, a creative development plan, and a coach who has the experience to support you through the resistance and emotional blocks that you will face along the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/bc2ffee9-9e7a-403c-b7d8-5b1a2ed5e208/WRITING+THE+LAYERS+SUBSTACK+BANNER+%283%29.png 1:1 COACHING - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/694cd407-fa37-4a85-b3ed-c6769b53026e/image-asset.jpg 1:1 COACHING - RECLAIM Book here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/694cd407-fa37-4a85-b3ed-c6769b53026e/image-asset.jpg 1:1 COACHING - MOMENTUM 4-month package | $1800 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/694cd407-fa37-4a85-b3ed-c6769b53026e/image-asset.jpg 1:1 COACHING - CUSTOM time frames and rates vary depending on services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/132144fc-b8ec-4859-bab6-7b700bf438a0/WRITING+THE+LAYERS+SUBSTACK+BANNER+%283%29.png 1:1 COACHING - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1752703494970-ZGGRZTI5PHKVDAM17UPM/27%5B1%5D.png 1:1 COACHING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1752703516539-BHCFNNTE8K40GSD0V4NY/28%5B1%5D.png 1:1 COACHING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1662488893732-BZ9MTL6CZA35G2Y0GXL5/5%5B1%5D.png 1:1 COACHING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1752703565683-OM87KSM4Q20EXFTMRWI6/15%5B2%5D.png 1:1 COACHING https://www.allthemanylayers.com/waitlist-creative-courage daily 0.75 2024-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/86a46716-ca3a-4585-bd56-2da4c49d7bb6/image-asset.jpg CREATIVE COURAGE WAITLIST - LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR A JOYFUL CREATIVE LIFE Integrate self-discovery and creative development to build courage in your most authentic voice The Creative Courage Intensive is a three-month group coaching experience offered in January and June that takes a holistic look at creative courage through the lens of personal storytelling.

Writing took me from living a defeated story to finding a creative vision for my life. The practice of writing helped me reframe old stories about mental illness and its impact on my life. Now my mission is to help others improve the quality of their lives through the power of the written word. When I struggled with my mental health as a young mom, I kept it to myself. Not wanting to appear weak or unstable, I thought I could handle it on my own without talking about it. This is the example that was set for me when I was growing up—we didn’t talk about my mother’s mental illness. But keeping my truths silent was eating me up inside. When I finally sought out a creative outlet to heal, I felt called to contribute to healing discussions around vulnerability and mental wellness. I stole time to write at lunchtime, late at night after putting the kids to bed, in parking lots in between chauffeuring them around. Inspired and awakened, I couldn’t stop if I wanted to. I would sit in meetings at my corporate job and daydream about the books I wanted to write, and the creative life I wanted to live. Stories became my lifeline, and eventually, I left that job and followed my calling to help others find their voices. You can learn more about my background here. My creative journey has taught me to rely on authenticity, curiosity, and a growth mindset to carry me through each new challenge, and this is the energy I instill in my clients. Imagine a lifestyle where you know what fuels your creativity and you mindfully incorporate habits and rhythms into your life that keep your soul replenished. Imagine developing a process that you trust to pull you through challenges and bring your creative visions to life. Through the Creative Courage framework, you will come away with fresh perspectives and actionable tools to cultivate the creative freedom you seek. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1714585342617-02R8EQJUTO4W9CCIU3XJ/TESTIMONIALS+%285%29.png CREATIVE COURAGE WAITLIST https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1714585351788-NWM36ZB7WV2Y5ODWNYWT/4%5B1%5D.png CREATIVE COURAGE WAITLIST https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1714585363218-EYIY5U6OBEINDGBBB9PL/5%5B1%5D.png CREATIVE COURAGE WAITLIST https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1714585388569-PMO62X0YO9RXNCHV76HE/preview+%281%29.jpg CREATIVE COURAGE WAITLIST https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1714585639158-VXBMSXN8GRW0U40JL0HO/11%5B1%5D.png CREATIVE COURAGE WAITLIST https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1714585652378-ANRNA3LCCI3FKDL5V8IR/12%5B1%5D.png CREATIVE COURAGE WAITLIST https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1732154826804-C68HCYF0YDK5YDQS7VP1/TESTIMONIALS+%286%29.png CREATIVE COURAGE WAITLIST https://www.allthemanylayers.com/inner-story-coaching-old2 daily 0.75 2025-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/fb659fc3-18af-47aa-a106-e22248a08b3e/unsplash-image-5_Ez6yEh8EE.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE (old2) - The Inner Story Writing Circle monthly creative coaching and community for heart-centered writers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1744942974204-9TQTFD5ICOXUW0LN7R8B/5.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE (old2) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1744942995780-WAN1MPW0783UW7MZATN0/5.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE (old2) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1744943061601-GLV8W264LXE8YZ3SK4F4/5.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE (old2) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/7d59be15-f911-4a56-9e98-4ad23004a2e3/TraciElaine.GGRenee.2017-19.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE (old2) - STORYTELLING IS A PATH TO DISCOVERY, HEALING, EMPOWERMENT & SERVICE Writing has helped me reframe old stories about mental illness and other struggles in my life, and my mission is to help others improve the quality of their lives through the power of the written word. If you’re new to my work, my name is GG and I’m an author and creative coach who helps individuals and groups unravel creative blocks and reclaim their narratives. I create workshops that center writing as a tool for deeper connection to yourself, to others, and to the world around you. I believe that a fulfilling life begins with self-honesty and writing is a creative and accessible way to practice truth-telling, particularly if you’ve gone your whole life being conditioned to do the opposite. Many of us who have been conditioned to stay quiet and obedient are now consciously taking creative risks to live more authentic lifestyles. We’re learning how our stories can plant seeds of hope in ourselves and others. In addition to coaching and facilitating, I write self-help and memoir, mostly in the form of essays and blog posts. I’ve self-published three books, and traditionally published two guided journals. I’m excited to be releasing a collection of essays and exercises this fall called Story Work: Field Notes on Self-Discovery and Reclaiming Your Narrative (Broadleaf, 2025). Story Work is a guide to understanding the stories we tell ourselves and the actions needed to reclaim power over our narrative. It involves looking at your life experiences as creative material that you have the power to shape. You can learn more about my professional experience here. In Inner Story, you are supported by a coach who is passionate about the creative process and specializes in helping blocked creatives become the storytellers they want to be in a healthy, intuitive, and sustainable way. photo: Traci Elaine Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721364886109-X99OVJGCSSQKMKAIZX08/The%2BSunday%2BJumpstart%2BPodcast%2BEpisode%2BNo.%2B155%2BThe%2BJoy%2BOf%2BSaying%2BNo%2BWith%2BNatalie%2BLue.jpeg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE (old2) - Natalie Lue Natalie Lue, The Joy of Saying No https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721363936640-Q4LDA9D6QBUS8XNZF8QF/jhb+headshot+july+2023.jpeg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE (old2) - Javacia Harris-Bowser https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721363973941-TYP9CVSNH87G7SBKP46Y/Lyvonne+Briggs+dancing+headshot.jpeg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE (old2) - Lyvonne Briggs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721364043594-1JVU8B2ENVRC7ZIGPOYB/Chelene+2021.+Tattoos.credit.Jon+McRae.jpeg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE (old2) - Chelene Knight Chelene Knight https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721364039118-NRTUKNZ52WFSD1AFD3P1/IMG_20201119_163602_706.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE (old2) - Kern Carter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721364107087-QR3UI2FUGYT3AUR4T39X/Ashley_M_Coleman-Photo%2BCredit%2BTy%2527rel%2BJones%2B2.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE (old2) - Ashley M.

You are looking for a way to maintain the creative energy that you feel after taking a writing workshop or attending a storytelling session. You’re seeking a warm community to share the peaks, valleys, and plateaus of your creative journey. You are interested in learning new pathways to open up your authentic expression. You want to develop your writing voice through practice and support from other writers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/ff167cd9-d459-4ac1-bba7-204bb5159488/unsplash-image-2s9aHF4eCjI.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE (old2) - INNER STORY IS NOT FOR YOU IF… You’re looking for technical instruction on format and structure without an emphasis on self-discovery and inner work. You’re looking for personalized book coaching, self-publishing, or editing services. You’re seeking 1:1 personalized coaching outside of the group workshop setting. You’re looking for a coach who you can access on a daily basis or a group forum you can interact with daily. (Participants often connect outside of the workshop group , and I do have a free private Facebook group.) You’re not looking for a holistic approach that incorporates mindset work, mindfulness practices, and self-care strategies into your creative practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1668311799193-Q2ZLUVFL9ML2A9D6G5OD/unsplash-image-MVCu1JIYuoM.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE (old2) - THE POWER OF COMMUNITY My workshops combine the practical insights of a writing workshop along with the radical acceptance and emotional communion of a support group. The following guiding principles create a safe, compassionate environment for writers to build courage and confidence: Vulnerability is Generosity When we share the truth of our creative journeys and life experiences through storytelling, we are offering up our humanity as a gift. This gift is honored and appreciated as a source of inspiration for the whole group. Magic in the Mess We value raw and unpolished reflections and open-minded curiosity. We encourage writers to embrace beginner’s mind, and to use this space to experiment with voice and craft. Examination over Exposure We reflect on our life experiences to discover themes and tell stories with purpose, not to expose our personal lives for shock value. Trigger warnings are offered to allow story listeners to make the choice to step away during any troubling topics. Confidentiality & Privacy No one is pressured to share, and the privacy of each writer is protected. Each participant agrees to the privacy policy when they sign up, which includes confidentiality. Keep in mind that I’m not a mental health professional, and this program is for creative purposes only. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1668315143329-BK69FUWM08CZ6RWC68RG/unsplash-image-vU2YJdNr8O8.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE (old2) - WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN I SIGN UP?

If you’re new to my work, my name is GG and I’m an author and creative coach who helps individuals and groups unravel creative blocks. I create workshops that center writing as a tool for deeper connection to yourself, to others, and to the world around you. I believe that a fulfilling life begins with self-honesty and writing is a creative and accessible way to practice truth-telling, particularly if you’ve gone your whole life being conditioned to do the opposite. Many of us who have been conditioned to stay quiet and obedient are now consciously taking creative risks to live more authentic lifestyles. We’re learning how our stories can plant seeds of hope in ourselves and others. In addition to coaching and facilitating, I write self-help and memoir, mostly in the form of essays and blog posts. I’ve self-published three books, and traditionally published two guided journals. My current work-in-progress is a collection of essays and exercises currently called Story Work: Field Notes on Self-Discovery and Reclaiming Your Narrative (Broadleaf, 2025). Story Work is a creative approach to reflecting, reclaiming, and reimagining the stories of our lives. It involves looking at your life experiences as creative material that you have the power to shape. You can learn more about my professional experience here. In Inner Story, you are supported by a coach who is passionate about the creative process and specializes in helping blocked creatives become the storytellers they want to be in a healthy, intuitive, and sustainable way. photo: Traci Elaine Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721363494607-OHCN086EE7YCCNWTZHMW/9.png {new} INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721363515561-YH91F4TLF3J7PCSZ5DOL/9.png {new} INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721363519320-42S765XAB3YRRUMPK9MR/9.png {new} INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1743721064093-MZ4FDPKCE1E52ZJO7T3Q/unsplash-image--3XzrMYGscE.jpg {new} INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - RECEIVE …weekly story work exercises and a monthly writing guide that can be used as a source of ideas for journaling and self-discovery.

You are looking for a way to maintain the creative energy that you feel after taking a writing workshop or attending a storytelling session. You’re seeking a warm community to share the peaks, valleys, and plateaus of your creative journey. You are interested in learning new pathways to open up your authentic expression. You want to develop your writing voice through practice and support from other writers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/ff167cd9-d459-4ac1-bba7-204bb5159488/unsplash-image-2s9aHF4eCjI.jpg {new} INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - INNER STORY IS NOT FOR YOU IF… You’re looking for technical instruction on format and structure without an emphasis on self-discovery and inner work. You’re looking for personalized book coaching, self-publishing, or editing services. You’re seeking 1:1 personalized coaching outside of the group workshop setting. You’re looking for a coach who you can access on a daily basis or a group forum you can interact with daily. (Participants often connect outside of the workshop group , and I do have a free private Facebook group.) You’re not looking for a holistic approach that incorporates mindset work, mindfulness practices, and self-care strategies into your creative practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1668311799193-Q2ZLUVFL9ML2A9D6G5OD/unsplash-image-MVCu1JIYuoM.jpg {new} INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - THE POWER OF COMMUNITY My workshops combine the practical insights of a writing workshop along with the radical acceptance and emotional communion of a support group. The following guiding principles create a safe, compassionate environment for writers to build courage and confidence: Vulnerability is Generosity When we share the truth of our creative journeys and life experiences through storytelling, we are offering up our humanity as a gift. This gift is honored and appreciated as a source of inspiration for the whole group. Magic in the Mess We value raw and unpolished reflections and open-minded curiosity. We encourage writers to embrace beginner’s mind, and to use this space to experiment with voice and craft. Examination over Exposure We reflect on our life experiences to discover themes and tell stories with purpose, not to expose our personal lives for shock value. Trigger warnings are offered to allow story listeners to make the choice to step away during any troubling topics. Confidentiality & Privacy No one is pressured to share, and the privacy of each writer is protected. Each participant agrees to the privacy policy when they sign up, which includes confidentiality. Keep in mind that I’m not a mental health professional, and this program is for creative purposes only. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1668315143329-BK69FUWM08CZ6RWC68RG/unsplash-image-vU2YJdNr8O8.jpg {new} INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN I SIGN UP?

STORYTELLING IS A PATH TO DISCOVERY, HEALING, EMPOWERMENT & SERVICE Writing has helped me reframe old stories about mental illness and personal struggle and now, my mission is to help others transform their lives through the power of the written word. I’m GG, an author and creative coach who supports individuals and groups in unraveling creative blocks and reclaiming their narratives. My workshops center writing as a tool for deep connection—to self, to others, and to the world. I believe a fulfilling life begins with self-honesty, and writing offers a powerful, accessible path to practice that—especially for those of us who were taught to stay quiet. More and more of us are choosing creative risks over quiet obedience, telling the truth of our lives and planting seeds of hope as we go. I write self-help and memoir in the form of essays, blog posts, and guided journals including: Self-Care Check-In: A Guided Journal to Build Healthy Habits and Devote Time to You (2020), A Year of Self-Reflection Journal: 365 Days of Guided Prompts to Slow Down, Tune In, and Grow (2021), and Story Work: Field Notes on Self-Discovery and Reclaiming Your Narrative (November 2025), a forthcoming collection of essays and exercises on healing through the power of story. In Inner Story, you’re supported by a coach who is passionate about the creative process and experienced in helping blocked creatives become the storytellers they want to be—in a healthy, intuitive, and sustainable way. photo: Tomorrow’s Portraits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/7a8de09a-45c5-499c-8366-546bc1cdc3c0/unsplash-image-FrFQ_B7hfAw.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - YOU’RE WRITING FOR PERSONAL OR PROFESSIONAL CLARITY You may be: Navigating a life transition, loss, burnout, or identity shift Using journaling or expressive writing to make sense of your story Craving a space to process your emotions and reconnect with yourself Seeking guidance on how writing can support your growth and clarity You’re ready for coaching that helps you: Slow down and listen inward Explore the stories you’ve been carrying and what’s ready to change Use writing as a practice of self-compassion and personal agency Reclaim your voice, rhythm, and next chapter through a sustainable creative practice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/657f11b2-b0fd-4748-a59e-459466b61bac/unsplash-image-FrFQ_B7hfAw.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - YOU’RE WORKING ON A CREATIVE PROJECT You may be: Writing a memoir, essay, poetry collection, or personal narrative project Seeking support for building a public creative platform Looking for structure, feedback, and creative momentum Wanting to explore deeper truths through your storytelling You’re ready for coaching that helps you: Move through blocks, perfectionism, and fear of visibility Deepen the emotional honesty of your work Trust yourself as a writer, even when the path is messy Develop priorities and a sustainable writing plan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721364886109-X99OVJGCSSQKMKAIZX08/The%2BSunday%2BJumpstart%2BPodcast%2BEpisode%2BNo.%2B155%2BThe%2BJoy%2BOf%2BSaying%2BNo%2BWith%2BNatalie%2BLue.jpeg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - Natalie Lue Natalie Lue, The Joy of Saying No https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721363936640-Q4LDA9D6QBUS8XNZF8QF/jhb+headshot+july+2023.jpeg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - Javacia Harris-Bowser https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721363973941-TYP9CVSNH87G7SBKP46Y/Lyvonne+Briggs+dancing+headshot.jpeg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - Lyvonne Briggs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721364043594-1JVU8B2ENVRC7ZIGPOYB/Chelene+2021.+Tattoos.credit.Jon+McRae.jpeg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - Chelene Knight Chelene Knight https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721364039118-NRTUKNZ52WFSD1AFD3P1/IMG_20201119_163602_706.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - Kern Carter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1721364107087-QR3UI2FUGYT3AUR4T39X/Ashley_M_Coleman-Photo%2BCredit%2BTy%2527rel%2BJones%2B2.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - Ashley M.

You want to sustain the creative momentum you feel after a workshop or intensive, and are looking for a consistent, grounded space to return to. You’re craving a warm, supportive community where you can share the peaks, valleys, and plateaus of your creative journey without judgment. You’re curious about new ways to access your authentic voice and deepen your creative expression. You want to develop your writing voice through intentional practice, reflection, and encouragement from fellow writers and seekers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/ff167cd9-d459-4ac1-bba7-204bb5159488/unsplash-image-2s9aHF4eCjI.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - INNER STORY IS NOT FOR YOU IF… You’re looking for technical instruction on craft, format, or structure without an emphasis on self-discovery and inner transformation. You want personalized support with publishing or editing. You’re looking for a coach who you can access on a daily basis or a group forum that you can interact with daily. You’re not drawn to a holistic approach that weaves together writing, mindfulness, mindset work, and self-care as part of the creative process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f45afe58c62bd0983ae4c/1668315143329-BK69FUWM08CZ6RWC68RG/unsplash-image-vU2YJdNr8O8.jpg INNER STORY WRITING CIRCLE - WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN I SIGN UP?
