The Creative Workbook alone is worth its weight in gold! Darien has packed this workshop with so much meaningful and thought-provoking content. All in the name of helping you get to the heart of your publication's 'why'. She shares how to align with your values and recognize the cues for burnout so that you can have a plan of action in place. This workshop has so much juicy content: A+. Be sure to sign up for the next one!
I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, as well. Darien is clear and super-instructive on how we can extract maximum - and unexpected - value from our own writing effort.
I’m delighted, as well, with the Monday 10-minute practice. Amazed, in fact, that I can write 300 coherent words in ten minutes!
I really enjoyed this session because it made me pause to go deeper into why I'm choosing to place my energy on my publication. Darien's guidance is very gentle, and the workbook provides so much clarity. Looking forward to joining other workshops!
As someone new to Substack, drilling down to the "why" for my (not yet launched) publication really helped me gain clarity. With Daren guiding us through the content-filled workbook, I feel much better equipped to recognise my purpose, to set realistic expectations for growth and to anticipate and manage burnout. Darien is so generous with her knowledge and sharing her own experiences. This workshop has so much to offer!
This is SO helpful! Will you talk a little bit more about “full day renewals”? I don’t know what that is (I’m sorry!). As my first book is about to hit bookshelves on Tuesday, I’m definitely in need of some creative restoration and burnout management ;)
Thank you so much for sharing!! :) And thank you for the info on the full-day renewal. I definitely want to integrate that into my weekly and monthly routines.
Hello Sam! Wow, congratulations! Please share more information about your book, this is so huge!!
A full-day renewal is when you intentionally opt into a non-work, non-goal-oriented experience; something that's fun, maybe unexpected (something you wouldn't do), or just restorative (reading in bed all day or spending time in your writing or art studio, being playful and experimenting rather than trying to accomplish anything). It's more about setting aside short and long periods of time for a deeper check-in.
We're built to move and get things done; interrupting that pattern for a moment allows us to see if we're still in alignment with our why, and if any subtle (or not so subtle!) adjusting needs to be made.
Hi Darien, this looks like a wonderful workshop. I can't make any of the sessions scheduled here because of my time zone (I'm in Western Australia). The 4pm time slot would have worked for me, so I'm sad that I missed it. Are you planning any more sessions beyond those already scheduled?

Thank you so much for your kind words, Tina! It was great to have you in the workshop, too, and finally meet!

Thank you for all the kind words, Linda! Love having you write micro with me!
hi Darien, when I tried to sign up for the workshop, it tells me there are no dates available. Is there any way to bypass this? Thank you.
Hi Lulu! Okay, go ahead and try again, I opened a few more seats. See you on Sunday!
Thank you
Gimme a sec! It might be full but I can finagle. Will get back to you, Lulu!

Loved having you in workshop, Ana! And what you’re creating here on Substack!

Hi Sandra! Unfortunately there is not going to be a recording available for non-attendees. I will offer the workshops again in the future.💕
Hi Sandra! Sending you an email shortly. 🥰
