About The Creative Courage Project
Something is whispering, or nudging, or pleading...
At worst, it seems impossible. At best, it’ll really wreck your plans.
The Creative Courage Project is for when you can’t keep quieting your impractical, “I could never do that…(could I?)” desires.
I’m currently experimenting with thinking of this not as merely a newsletter, but as The Creative Courage Club. It’s for humans who want to ditch the prerequisites and live their way—while not bypassing all the ways that’s hard: the pressure from our culture and ourselves to always be palatable, productive, and above all: profitable.

Because those desires are the sparks that make a life—your one and only life
You know that feeling of being backed into a corner while lifting your head high because you’re not going along with it?
As in, it’s a very annoying feature of life that it often requires courage to let yourself create the life you actually want amidst very real circumstances that make shrinking into said corner seem like the only option…
As in, it requires creativity + courage to go your way in a world of people shouting they’ve got the best way (I like to think of it as The Cacophony of Shoulds)
The Creative Courage Project is a regular reminder to root your feet into the earth and tilt your head to the side to hear and heed the whispers of possibility to live the life you want—not the one you should.
Hey there, I’m Ryn!
Extreme curiosity—of the “you ask too many questions” variety—and trauma-informed practice fuel my exploration of the things that stop us from living a life that’s true. The big questions that fuel my writing include:
🧐 How do we allow ourselves to marvel, delight, create, explore—dream BIG—when life is going terribly wrong and it’d be easy to fall into despair?
🧐 How can we remain curious about what’s possible when what we desire seems impossible?
🧐 How do we breathe while navigating the pressure to always be palatable, productive, profitable?
I have education, experience, and knowledge in the areas of coaching, copywriting, mindfulness, massage therapy, aromatherapy, and tarot that inform my reflections here. That said…
Nothing here is advice. Everything is an invitation to reflect on what’s true for you.

My intention is that each message I send moves you to glimpse a new possibility, to try something different, or to question your assumptions about what’s true. I send 1-5 newsletters a month. And if you ever hit reply, I’ll actually write back.
If you’re longing to live the life you want—not the one you should:
Right now, all posts are free….
I don’t have paid subscriptions “on” and haven’t decided what I want to do with that yet. But I do have glimmers of ideas for other free and paid offerings for subscribers: quests, gatherings, spaces to connect.
