Wherever you are on your creative journey, you’ve made your way here. And that probably means you want to explore your possibilities as a creative thinker and get “outside of the box”.

But you just don’t know how to get those creative juices flowing.

Trust me, my friend, I’ve been there.

That’s why I believe, with every fiber of my being:

• Raw talent and “creative genius” don’t really have anything to do with how creative you are.
• You don’t have to be born creative, or be naturally artistic in any way, to be a creative thinker.
• As a creative, you have a dream, a goal, a vision, that you want to bring to life and I’m here to help you do it by unleashing your inner creative superpowers.
• Creativity requires love, happiness, respect, and a strong support system to thrive, and every creative thinker deserves the same.

Basically, I believe that you can be a creative superstar with a bit of work and the right resources.

Hey there! I’m Rachelle, and after losing my way as a creative for way too long, I’ve made it my mission to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE, and SUPPORT everyone that wants to explore their creative self.

Why am I doing this?

Once upon a time, I loved to write. And draw. And daydream. I had a hyperactive imagination that was spinning stories all day long, drawing inspiration from the people I passed, the places I visited, and even the dreams I had. I couldn’t go more than a few hours without itching to write – my notebooks were covered with scribbles in the margins, notes for story ideas scratched in haste before I had to get back to work.

My compulsion to write was so strong I even emailed myself a short story at work once because I just couldn’t hold it in until the end of the day.

I was bursting with creativity. People would look at me and say things like “that’s so creative!” or “you’re so creative! How do you think of these things?”

It was amazing. And then one day I realized that creative high was gone. My journals were dusty, and the people I passed on the street were just… people. My dreams were dull; if I even remembered them at all they weren’t worth writing down. It felt like a chore to be creative, so I stopped trying and waited for “the muse” to come to me with inspiration.

She never came.

How did I start my creative journey?

After almost a year of feeling like a creative loser, I finally picked myself up and started rekindling my creative spirit.

It was a long process. I tried everything from scheduling specific times to write to making inspiration boards on Pinterest and hoping that creative fire would flare inside of me. When it didn’t, I got frustrated.

When I got frustrated, I went back to feeling like being creative was a chore.

So I did some research. I took a long, hard look at myself, and I realized:

1. I had put myself in an environment where my creativity wasn’t valued; it was judged and deemed worthy only in comparison to others.
2. I wasn’t getting positive creative feedback anymore.
3. I was afraid to create.

Fear and constant negative criticism are a recipe for disaster for any creative person. No wonder I felt like creative crap all the time.

Where am I on this journey?

I’m thrilled to say I removed myself from the toxic, anti-creative environment I was in. I also grew a thicker skin and decided that I would NEVER be afraid to explore an idea no matter how silly, ridiculous, or inconsequential it seemed. I surrounded myself with a network of people who were interested in supporting creativity, not tacking it to the wall to critique it to shreds.

For the first time in years, I wrote over ten thousand words in two days.

For the first time in years, I am not afraid of my creativity or my bad ideas.

For the first time EVER, I’m helping other people find their creative spirit by being a role model and sharing the things that helped me get back on track. I’m creating a safe corner of the web for people to ask questions, explore ideas, and question their creativity in order to improve their creative thinking.
