Successful and satisfied using her creativity in her genius zone

Sometimes it seems like our abundant creativity is more of a hassle than a gift. And when it comes to figuring out how to make a living using our talents, that can seem like a giant Rubik’s cube. All the pieces are there, but how to do they fit together?

My client Pam Porter is one of those creative geniuses who has many talents. And she knows how to use them! But how to use them all together and in a way that serves her and her lifestyle…that’s another story.

I’ve coached Pam to help her put all the pieces together. And last year, her passion for teaching children’s art came together with her love of swimming and mermaids to create inimitable summer art camps that are a blast for her and the kids.

Here’s what Pam said about our coaching together:

“I’m an artist and an art teacher with a lot of ideas. Cynthia has coached me to home in on projects that are in my “genius zone”. I now have clarity on what is most important to me and my business. I teach numerous art classes for kids out of my adorable home studio. I’ve written a children’s book. 

I finally love managing my business and my own art projects. And – because I’m just focusing on a couple of things at a time, the quality of my work and life is so much better and feels a lot easier than before.   

Best, I am successful and satisfied. I am using my gifts in fun and creative ways. I can see the positive difference I am making in the lives of the children that I teach and write for.

Part of me thinks I should have been able to figure all this out myself. But Cynthia has been a trusted coach and ally for years now. Our work together has been literally life-changing. I continue to call on Cynthia to help strategize and celebrate my wins. She’s a true asset to my life, business and creativity.” – Pam Porter, The Creative Flow Studio

Magical Journey, Magical Journal

Excited to teach this new class today at Two Hands Paperie. Magical Journey, Magical Journal is a unique travel and creativity class that has allowed me to look at what I really believe about magic and travel and creativity. I’ve had so many experiences that show me that the world is a magical place and that keeping an illustrated journal highlights that. I can’t wait to share this. The class sold out right away and there’s a big waiting list, so I suspect this is something others are craving too, this connection to magic. Would this be a class you would want to take from me?
What if you could enjoy life as a creative journey – the type of journey where everything is magical and becomes easier and easier as you go along? It would be the grandest of all adventures! Join Cynthia Morris, a local author, artist, and life coach, on a transformative journey to explore and map out the territory of your inner self. This class was born out of Cynthia’s reflection on how visual journaling literally made her an artist.
Her early journals were about keeping a sketchbook and jotting down notes. When she re-visited them, though, she found them full of hidden insights about herself and immediately realized the value of journaling as a means of personal discovery. In her words, “journals reflect you back to you”.  She also realized that she’d followed a similar process in each book, which was key to her ability to delve deeper into self. She’ll show you how to use this process to travel magically and capture your experiences in a meaningful way. T

Creative Success Stories

"Being coached by Cynthia highlighted my unrevealed gifts. Our time together has revolutionized the way I work and lead my companies.

Her wisdom about creativity and productivity has added value to every area of my life from personal health to creativity and generating wealth.

I would have never imagined that this powerhouse of a creative would help me grow, connect to my heart and improve my companies in so many areas. Cynthia’s coaching is like supercharging a normal engine; there is no comparison."

John Marsh
Founder, Marsh Collective

"For years, I struggled with this belief that I wasn't good enough, that I wasn't a real writer, that I wouldn't be able to follow through. Your coaching and support opened something in me that had gone dormant.

With your words in my ears and my heart finding new excitement, I pushed the words across the page. My first novel is complete. You, dear Cynthia, helped me lay the dominoes. I can’t thank you enough for the motivation, the inspiration, and the reminder that I was meant to write."

Tabetha Hedrick
Author

"Cynthia has given me my writing voice. I can now say I am a writer. My newsletter readers tell me how much they love receiving it!

Cynthia has a great spark of life that just shines out. She engages in a way that encourages you to challenge yourself as a writer and is there to help pull you out if you get stuck or lost."

Ruth Dent
Artist

"Cynthia helped me drive a short story across the finish line. I recommend Cynthia if you want to learn about your own writing process in an experiential way and get practice on things like letting go of perfectionism for a greater goal."

Roseanne
Writer

"Cynthia helped me so much to develop a writing practice. I love her approach to combining creativity and action. It's gentle and effective and highly self compassionate."

Laila Atalah
Writer

"Because of my work with Cynthia, I have been able to embrace my artist's path and choose a lifestyle that truly speaks to my soul. Instead of trying to be and do everything, I now follow my true desires with courage, joy and serenity.

Cynthia is intuitive, down-to-earth, straightforward and honest. She can read between the lines, and she never lets me run away, give in and give up. Cynthia is a fabulous mentor and an amazing artist."
