Dear Friends in Christ,
Attached are the resources I shared in my recent webinar for Catholic creatives, utilizing coaching techniques to break through in life and art. Please feel free to email me with questions or to request additional resources. I may eventually create a monthly newsletter for breakthrough resources if it seems helpful, but in the meantime, I will keep updating this page.
Text or Email the word COACHING for information on private breakthrough coaching and/or groups for Catholic creatives.
