Are you asking yourself, "Who am I becoming now that the life I've spent decades building no longer feels like the whole story?"
If I told you that you have everything you need to create the results or the experience you are ready for now -- would you believe me?
You've spent years supporting other people, generating ideas and projects, creating bodies of work and a consistent practice, leading businesses or teams and showing up for the life you built.
You've faced and navigated challenges your whole life.
You have grit and you know it.
And now, something has shifted.
You've begun to imagine a different future.
A future that has more freedom or creative expression; more adventure or ease.
Perhaps you want more consistent results with the effort you are already exerting.
Or maybe it's time to experience something you've yet to name, but sense is out there.
And yet, you find yourself worrying about letting go of the identity that defined you for so long.
The question so many of us ask at these moments of transition is: Who am I if I'm not who I've always been?
What if you knew that you don't need to know what comes next in order to create what's next?
You don't need to have your future figured out
before you begin.
You only need to believe that you will.
Not by pushing or grasping --
but by revealing what wants to be created through you as you discover who you are becoming
now that something is changing.

If fear has convinced you that you don't know enough, have enough, or are enough to create what your heart is calling for next... I'm here to remind you that fear has simply made you forget what's true.
Everything you've lived has prepared you for this moment.
The doubt, hesitation, grief or fear that shows up is just an indication that you are changing.
What will awaken next is the excitement that let's your fear know that you are a trustworthy steward of your future.
So trustworthy, in fact, that you won't let another day, week, month, year (!) pass without exploring this inner knowing that has brought you here.
Will you trust yourself enough to take the next step before you can see the entire path ahead?

TWO WEEKS,
FIVE WORKSHOPS
100% ALIVENESS!
What you don't need is
More Experience,
More Evidence,
More Certainty
What you do need is
to excite possibilities,
activate your courage
& create a momentum.
That's what this Challenge is all about!
Each of these five sessions builds on the previous session - so you you'll get the full arc of a transformational experience. You'll leave feeling so much more clarity and more confidence.
With the courage that comes from this process we will complete together, you will ditch that someday mindset and embrace those first few steps to the alive and aligned future waiting for you to experience now.
YOUR CHALLENGE JOURNEY
DAY 1: The Turning Point
Most people feel when something is shifting, but they stop short of naming it. The problem there is that when you don't name it you can't work with it. Knowing what is changing, why it matters and where in you are in your journey are essential touchstones that form the foundation of sustainable action and growth.
DAY 2: The Story
We are story creatures. We are practicing stories all the time, but in this Challenge, you'll begin to make a conscious choice about the story you want to tell next. This is not as easy as it sounds (does it sound simple?). Writing your story forward challenges old beliefs have shaped your path up to this point - together will find out what story has more power and meaning for you now.
DAY 3: The Energy
Everything is energy. Everything. That feeling in your gut that keeps you stuck -- energy. We are going to move that energy that has been churning in your gut and transform it into energy that feels alive: energy that sparks curiosity, excitement, and new possibilities.
DAY 4: The Choice
Eventually we have to make a choice. Choices of the magnitude that you are making will feel a little scary at times - a decision, a conversation, an action that matters to you will contain a multitude of energies and emotions. And that's a good thing. Because when we make a choice that comes from steps 1, 2, and 3 - you begin to instill the proof that you have everything you need to create the experience you want to have next. This is where sustainable change begins to take hold.
DAY 5: What’s Next
With your experience testing those old stories, you can now turn that experience into a declaration of commitment toward a your next courageous step. What's next is always already here. This work will help you uncover a world of possibilities that are now open for you to bring your curiosity and grit to and continue to create what's next!
CREATE WHAT'S NEXT SUMMER CHALLENGE IS FOR YOU IF:
You're considering retirement or a major career transition.
You're wondering who you are beyond a role you've held for years.
You're ready to make more space for your creative life, or take new risks to get a different outcome.
You're navigating a loss, relocation, empty nest, or other life transition.
You're successful by many measures, but unclear about what comes next and struggling with stuckness that wants to move!
Here's What You'll Walk Away With
✓ Clarity about why this change is calling you forward now.
✓ A new story that declarse what you want and why it matters.
✓ A strategy for making choices even when you feel resistance.
✓ Proof that something else is more true for you now, and the momentum and courage to take the next step and the next one...

Wendy, Artist
Nonprofit Founder
With Naomi's partnership I’ve crossed a real threshold, finding the courage to navigate uncertainty grounded in who I am. Now I’m building my nonprofit's second year with a supportive team, continuing to honor what matters most to me as a leader and in my own creative life as an artist!
Tova, Filmaker, Actor
Naomi listens deeply and uses an array of tools to skillfully respond to what is arising within the group. Through Naomi's workshops, I have identified and moved beyond blocks that had been holding me up for months.
Cynthia
Visual artist
There's been this huge mindset shift. You serve a very special sauce, Naomi...and create magic while you are doing it.
Rae, Composer
I see the effects of my time in the course ALL AROUND ME, EVERY DAY- in my thinking, in my work, and in how different my life looks since.
Rae, composer
Claire, Illustrator
Naomi got me out of my head and into my studio at a time when I was stalling on a vision I’d been holding onto for years. Thanks to her coaching and accountability, I’ve leveled up how I show my work and locked in an income stream that feels right. If you’re looking for the bridge between 'holding a vision' and 'living it,' she is it."
Erwin
artist and founder
I came to Naomi at a point where I felt stuck between the work I was doing and the larger vision I knew I wanted to grow into. Our work together helped me honor my time, my values, and my priorities in a way that now shapes how I run my business every day.

Hi Brave Creator! I help artists, arts workers and leaders find their courage to create the future they want to experience now.
My coaching is a practice is influenced by thirty years of experience in the arts as a performing artist, fundraising executive, non-profit founder, story coach. With a masters in Performance Studies form NYU with certifications in creativity coaching, public speaking and a myriad of conscious coaching practices, I have helped hundreds of women create something new from an empty stage, blank page and canvas in their work and lives.
The experience of my husband’s alcoholism and death changed my story forever. From that experience came my first book, Braving Creativity and the courage to take all kinds of risks that helped me not only illuminate the edges of my fear, but to continually gather the proof I needed believe how brave I really am.
That's what you will do next - gather your courage to step into the aliveness that is waiting for you just beyond your awareness now.
