Creative Comeback
PRIVATE MENTORING 100% FOCUSED ON YOU
Are you known for having a million unfinished projects?
I work with people like you because you see what could be! You can't help but look at the most mundane object and immediately want to create something with it. It's because you have so much curiosity and care deeply about the world you live in that you want to make it a little better than you found it. You have so much empathy for everyone and everything that you're left drained consistently. So you get stuck in a loop of starting and not finishing projects, and saying to yourself "I'm not good enough."
How do I know this?
Because this was my reality for awhile. I know how it feels to want to help, but never feel like I got to spend time on my own projects. But I always said yes because I didn’t want to let them down. This pattern continued even in my design career - picking up whatever slack I needed to, so I didn’t let someone else down - to the point that I lost myself. I knew I had to make a change, but how? This is all I’ve ever known to be! Through my process of change I learned that I needed help from others to shine a light on what I couldn’t recognize as issues. They helped me come back to myself! Today, I support other creative professionals recover from burnout and come back to what lights them up!
Burnout is so prevalent with creatives because we care.
We care about it turning out just right. We care about being productive. We care what others think (even if we say we don’t). We wrap so many unrealistic expectations into the very thing that brings us joy. Then add responsibility to the mix if creativity is a part of your livelihood, and there’s a whole other thing that heightens the stress and kills the joy. In a world that teaches us to monetize every skill we have, it can feel like nothing you do is for YOU anymore. And finally, add a dash of a global pandemic and collective uncertainty and you’ve got yourself a perfect recipe for burnout!
How do I know if I'm dealing with burnout?
Stress causes lots of reactive emotions, while burnout is a lack of emotion because you're numb. But feeling stress for a prolonged period can become burnout if it's not managed. Are you experiencing any of these signs regularly?

I was blown away by how much I learned with Erin guiding me! I thought it would just be tips to reorganize my life, but it was SO much more! I could go on forever about how amazing this has been. If you've ever felt burnt out in your life/job/business, definitely go sign up for Erin's coaching sessions!

Erin truly listened to me every week and tailored my sessions and homework to build my self awareness. I'm proud of my small weekly achievements! I know I am the same person I was, but my perspective has shifted around what is truly important to me.
Ashlee Hoelck
I had an incredible session with Erin. She was warm, understanding, and constructive. She guided me to a new path that better serves my life purpose and inspired me to reach for more. I left the session with clarity, motivation, and confidence. I am so grateful for Erin!

Creative Comeback is different...
Because my focus isn’t to get you producing creative work again, but to rediscover yourself and find joy in simply creating things that align with who you naturally are. That’s what the design sprint books, 30 day art challenges, and creative courses miss. It’s great if you’re using those to learn a new skill or hone an existing one, but they don’t do anything good for creatives that are experiencing burn out (and could possibly deepen it!) In a society built around producing content for likes, sometimes the most impactful thing you need to do is step back from creating for others so you can create joy for yourself – and that’s exactly what you’ll do in the Creative Comeback.
You deserve to have support focused on you...
If you’ve reread this page a couple times, trust yourself enough to take this step! You don’t have to DIY everything if having support would help you feel like yourself faster. Apply for the Creative Comeback, and if I feel I'm a good fit for you we'll chat about the packages, and answer any questions before you start.
