This three-month container provides guidance in the form of three small group sessions,1:1 accountability and guidance with me, and cowriting and office hours sessions to support your specific creative goals. The small group sessions feature a hot seat format that allows each person to bring a topic, challenge, or discussion to the group, or share a piece of work that they’d like feedback on. The 1:1 sessions give me the opportunity to give you direct feedback on your monthly goals, process challenges, and projects.
…
We will meet as a group on Sundays from 3 - 5 pm et
on August 25, September 22, and October 27.
We will schedule our 1x1 sessions separately. In addition to our small group sessions, you will also have access to all of the core Inner Story monthly programming which includes storytelling and cowriting sessions, group journaling sessions, office hours, and more, as detailed below.
Upon registration, you will gain immediate access to the member area where you can sign your entry form and browse the archives and resources there. Within two business days, you will receive an email from me welcoming you into the program and providing a link for you to schedule your 30-minute intake session with me.
A THREE MONTH COMMITMENT
You will work closely with me to build a strong emotional foundation for your efforts, a growth mindset for the learning curves, and renewed faith in the creative process. Participants come into the program with different needs: encouraging feedback on their writing, coaching on the creative mindset, guidance on building a writer platform, help with researching and finding resources, exercises for creative development, accountability that ends procrastination, and more. Together, we demystify processes, make plans, and build momentum.
PROJECT-FOCUSED
A creative project can be as general or as specific as you like. Taking your writing more seriously can be a project. Learning how to express your creativity in public can be a project. You might want to build a journaling practice or to use writing to figure out a calling that isn’t clear to you just yet. The only requirement is that you are enrolling to get up close and personalized guidance on your creative development.

Some of the challenges my clients face include:
“I am hoping to curate a more creative lifestyle where I can think more creatively and freely by incorporating creative practices into my day-to-day for me to expand my creativity! I feel like my creativity is “all over the place” in a way and I’m looking to concentrate it in more specific projects/efforts to build focus and consistency.” - Reclaim Client
“I’m currently a coach and consultant, I help a lot of people break through their limits and bring a dream/passion project/business to life. However, I am stuck. I have wanted to write/be a writer for most of my life. I have flurries of creativity and no real guidance, direction or discipline. When I read about you and went through your site I had an a-ha moment. You are…around the corner and down the street from me, in my future, living in a way I would like to bring to life as well. I have been looking for someone like you and I didn’t know until I found you.” - Reclaim Client
“A primary focus would be carving out the focus and time to finish the pieces I have started. It’s easy to get the ideas flowing but I want to be better at structuring and organizing my ideas at the same rate that I generate and start them. I want to establish more momentum on my writing projects and get better at managing my energy as I juggle full-time work, slowly building a freelance income stream in the wellness/mental health/spiritual space, and working on a long-term book project and be kinder to myself versus overwhelmed and impatient with myself.” - Reclaim Client
And here is some of the feedback after working with me:
“GG is a gifted creative coach and community-builder. I learned so much during my three-month coaching program and greatly benefited from GG's insights, thought-provoking questions and feedback. Thanks to her gentle guidance and the accountability she builds into her program, I've developed a writing and creative practice that fits into my life and feels nourishing and sustainable. Just as valuable is the community GG has created, which is a safe and welcoming space to explore creativity without judgment.” - Melissa W.
“My experience with the Reclaim Creative Coaching Program has been incredibly fruitful and has underscored for me just how much I want to live a life filled with creative expression. I’m writing more, because I’ve learned which habits and practices increase my focus and energy. I’m much more aware of my own self-care needs and have learned that prioritizing them only ever nourishes my creativity. I practiced being vulnerable and sharing my thoughts and experiences in a space where it’s safe to do so, and learned so much from being part of the community that GG has fostered.” — Jennifer D.
“I have had several coaches since I started my biz and writing practice and I have received lots of wisdom from all of them, but GG is special. I am grateful for GG’s way of making me feel supported and held, but also how on point and tangible GG’s coaching advice has been for me in the biz lens. I have made a lot of shifts during these 3 months and I have a lot more I want to do thanks to GG’s suggestions.” — Rachel N.

FAQ’s

Yes. The principles I teach in Creative Courage and my other workshops support you in doing the more specific project work that you do in the Mastermind group. However, you can still participate without that.

Whether you think of yourself as a writer or not, writing helps you process your emotions, brainstorm, practice flexible thinking, record + refine your ideas, and more. Reclaim uses writing exercises for self-discovery and awareness that will nourish creative mindset habits in anyone. Even if you don’t think of yourself as a writer, think of writing as one of the best tools you have in your arsenal if you have creative calling that you are trying to figure out.
