The Creative Abundance Affirmation kit is the first of what may become a series of kits and resources. Designed for independent women who want to live more creatively everyday, this kit is an experiment in embodiment and activating the senses, combined with art-based activities and affirmations. It’s not necessarily about being more artistic, and contains lots of ideas to be more creative in different areas of your life. I created this to help myself manifest the life I want as an artist and a HeArtfull human.
Isn’t this just another set of self-help affirmations?
Whether in the day or night, in different spaces of my home, I want to feel supported to help me stay in a creative frame of mind that I need to build a gentle, creative business. I have a tendency to stay in my head, where my analytical brain believes it can think its way through any situation. The trouble is that my body does not operate through mental analysis – the central nervous system’s job is to assess threats and keep me safe. When my mind and my body are sending different signals, I can become overwhelmed and uncertain about what to do. This kit leverages neuroscience to combine affirmations with actions and sensory activities to help me reconnect with my body and use my senses to help build affirming, new habits.
What’s included?
This kit comprises an 88-page booklet, five 5×7″ location-specific affirmation cards, a small sketchbook/journal, three crystals, and an essential oil blend. Below are some content highlights:
- explore creativity: beliefs, myths, psychology and neuroscience of creativity, its values development track, all through a trauma-informed lens
- learn from my work on my own limiting beliefs and traumas that influence my journey towards my goals
- experiment with ways to align head, heart and body using all of the senses
- draws on diverse traditions, highlighting commonalities and experimenting with a range of experiences, knowledge-building, and habit-forming approaches: herbalism, nutrition, Kundalini yoga, sound and music therapy, art therapy, earth sciences, psychology, ancient practices and goddesses of Indigenous peoples around the world (including Traditional Chinese Medicine, Feng Shui, neo-Paganism, Ayurveda and Vastu, the Plains Cree Medicine Wheel, astrology, Shamanism and traditional healing)
- A Creative Abundance Spotify playlist

Personal Results
This project has kept me curiously and productively engaged for over a year, which is rare for me. I’m good at starting things but not finishing them! I have an abundance of ideas, and the process of creating this kit has helped me make my future plans more concrete and tangible. I have learned so much to help me give language to my struggles, and I have created this kit, a workshop outline, and fifteen pieces of artwork/play underway. I even completed two projects that had languished unfinished for over twenty years! I felt I needed to take care of the old to make room for something new! I am also enjoying letting things emerge organically and letting myself play and enjoy the process. It has made an astonishing difference in my life, how I focus my emotions and energy, and how I spend my time! Even if this is just for me, I think its really cool and it might be helpful to others.
Next Steps
- Feedback and Market Testing: I am sharing drafts with my inner circle for feedback. Once I incorporate feedback I will be ready to release the first public version and pilot my workshop by Summer 2026.
