You’re invested in your creative practice.
You have goals you want to reach, things you want to accomplish. But getting there on your own has felt HARD.
Being a creative can be a lonely and isolating experience! You need accountability, perspective, and a coach who can help you get to that next level of your creative practice.
That’s where our program comes in.
"This accountability group gave me the courage to quit my job and start my creative career!"
- Chloe G.
with our 6-month coaching program, you will:
1. Create a clear roadmap for your practice.
What are the Vision, Season, Goals, and Actions that are driving you as an artist? Let's make a plan for what you want to create and what SUCCESS looks like for you.
2. Learn a tried and true method for creating focus.
You'll learn our method for creating focus and identifying the creative season you’re in. No overwhelm. Just consistent action towards the big picture.
3. Create deadlines for your goals (and get accountability for making them happen!)
You’ll set 1-2 tangible goals for your practice this season. You’ll create deadlines and an action plan. Consistency is everything! We'll keep you on track and help you keep taking action, even when things get busy.
4. Get feedback from a dynamic community of artists.
You’ll get support from a generous group of peers to help you stay motivated. Bye-bye feeling isolated!
5. Get coaching support from a seasoned pro.
You’ll be in weekly dialogue with Christine to keep you on track. What are the opportunities you're not seeing? Where are you getting yourself stuck? This is where coaching comes in.
“I’ve never been the best at maintaining a regular outreach, sending newsletters, or having an online presence. During coaching, I focused on how to amplify my outreach—thinking through what it would look like to send a newsletter, build a contact list, and schedule studio visits.
It was a great opportunity to take the reins and set realistic, actionable goals that felt authentic and meaningful to me and my practice.”
- Jenn Wilson Shepherd
How would having REAL accountability change things for you?
What would you reach for?
What would you ASK for?
What would you say NO to?
What opportunities would you apply for?
Who would you cold call?
These are the kinds of questions and support you get in coaching, and in an accountability group.
We push you, and keep you in line with what you want to create in your practice. So you can change the pattern that hasn't been working for you, and get someplace new.
Here’s exactly what’s included:
(2) 1.5 hour group calls a month. (we meet at a set time, every other week )
Weekly accountability through Slack and email.
A structure for making your goals clear and attainable.
Feedback on your work and goals.
A small group of generous artists who share your values.
“This program and Christine have been so helpful for gaining clarity and focus on what my big vision is and the daily steps toward it. Highly recommend!”
- Cheyenne Weaver

FAQ:
Is it OK if I can’t make the live group calls?
Yup! If you can’t make the group calls, no worries. Everything is recorded and sent out to participants after the call.
Is this program just for visual artists?
Nope! The videos, tools, and conversations can help ANY creative overcome their blocks and start making work. Dancers, writers, musicians - you name it, we got 'em.
I didn’t go to art school, is that OK?
Totally. This conversation is for any creative spirit, regardless of education level.
Still have questions?
In 2020, I created a Mighty Practice because I saw so many artists facing the same challenges:
Artists who want to develop their voices, but are overcome with self-doubt.
Artists who want to engage in thoughtful discussion about making things, but lack community.
Artists who want their creative work to be more central to their lives, but can’t manage to find the time or energy for it.
But most importantly, I saw artists who wanted to take their creative work seriously, to actualize their ideas, and going back to “art school” wasn’t realistic.
Since then, I’ve coached hundreds of creatives through the ups and downs of their practices. I’ve helped artists create new work after years of feeling stuck, quit their jobs to start creative careers, and secure big opportunities like residencies and grants.
