Creatively Conscious - an invite to practise creativity with me and a space to shine your unique light…
Hi 🙌🏻
It’s nice to meet you. I’m Claire, I’ll start at the beginning. Have you got time?
I started this Substack space to fall back in love with writing ‘long form’ in a place where it felt quieter and easier to share my voice.
I think you’ll agree, Substack is a brilliant platform for that and so much easier to use than spaces driven by algorithm and vanity metrics.
As ‘earth keepers’, me and my family share our home and garden with nature and clients everyday. I extend that invite to you and you can come with you cuppa and join me virtually from our studio by the sea.
We’re ever amazed at the healing benefits of the slow lived life here on the Northumberland Coast and I’ve created my Substack publication and members space holding to be an extension of that.
A digital magazine you can take your time over
Here on Substack, I’m a creative who also loves to write so I share thoughts and process on personal creativity, the slow lived life, motherhood, earth keeping, work/ life balance and spirituality reaching folks across the globe in 99 countries.
My monthly ‘Self Seed your Business’ co-working sessions for business owners/ creatives hold you to grow, to think differently, to take your time with creativity…
You’re invited to grow what you want to grow at your pace in your business on your terms.
Your blooms pop up where you least expect.
How Substack Works - Paywalls and Free Posts
Every new piece of writing goes directly to your inbox. OR you can turn off emails and download the Substack app to read and interact there.
I’ve been here since April ‘22 and I publish a handful of times a month so there’s lots to choose from here. You can head to the archive to read more if you’d like?
What’s Free for everyone?
I write free posts on topics of whole hearted living and self seeding your business every month.
Paid options
Substack offers us creatives and writers a chance to write more intimately behind the paywall so I do that and host my business membership for whole hearted creatives here.

Come say hi?
I’ve build a beautiful community here on Substack over the last year. You can meet some of the folks who write/ read here in this thread. Head to the comments to chat and join in;
“Love this Claire, enjoyed listening to you. Running our own race here on is perfect for me. So many things evolving on here it’s good remember our intentions.”
“I believe heart centred leadership and entrepreneurship is the way forward for the world. To do that requires effort to hold steady in our centre, be clear on our values and grounded in our faith/good/love (whatever it is to you). This is why your work is being recognized Claire, this is how you show up. And courage, feeling the butterflies and continuing to move forward!”
I love your transparency here, thank you! And your parting comment that you don’t agree with hustle culture just made me so happy, because I’ve come to feel the same way 😊
I really enjoyed reading your thoughts Claire. I’ve been mulling over similar questions myself.
Thanks so much for being here, I look forward to connecting with you.
Sending sparkles for your day ahead,
Claire
