What could you 🌱create🪄 if you started solving for joy?
Lets get this straight
You Are Your own best guide. You are the expert on crafting your thing. The world is in desperate (like look around… desperate) need of your creative solutions for the problems, struggles and big old systemic change we all desire. Your history, experience, past and change you wish for the world are all rolled up into Your Big Beautiful Dream. You see a vision for a better world and you’ve got the idea, the spark, how to do it. You believe this thing you’ve made (or want to make! or spark of something) is some next level life changing shit that the world so desperately needs. Cause like… we do!
But and also…
You’ve 34045 ideas in the drafts folder with no idea what to do next?
You’re laying awake at night trying to figure out what you “should” do for your business + team
You have been scrolling trying to find the perfect squarespace template but all you are finding is a lot of dread?
You’re at a party explaining your art to a room of people that just don’t get it
You keep riffling through the artist way, thumbing the pages trying to figure out how now to be “blocked” (which like, I don’t think anyone is actually “blocked”)
You’re scrolling tik tok for the latest entrepreneurial trends and tips to get your dream off the ground and consulting your astrology app to decide when to make the next move….
What would it feel like to have a clear direction to move in?
What would be possible if you crafted from a space that embodied your unique brain?
What could you create if you crafted beyond the binary of “shoulds”
What could you unearth if you were relentlessly you?
there’s got to be another way
I’ve spent the last 10 years working on creative teams in various roles,I know what its like to create + make + share + and feel disappointed by the outcome or the perceived “failures” of our work. Because our work isn’t just our work. It is the most pure beautiful thing, our mission on earth, the thing we create just because it would hurt not too. So doesn’t it feel ass-awful to feel pressured into making decisions for your creation that feel incongruent and not good for your unique brain space?
Here is the thing about being…
An Artist
Creative business person
Big Dreamer
Creative Weirdo
Squiggly Brain + Neurodiverse superhero
Stack of Sticky Notes person
Multi-hyphenate creator
Founders+ Aspiring Founder
Team Leader
Someone thats been called a “weirdo” or “too much” or “not enough” their entire life
It is antithetical to the society we live in. Living a creative life it is inherently beyond the binary and that pushes against the grain, and it can feel so exhausting. No business bro, marketing strategy or “buy this to solve all your problems” tik tok is going to be the thing to make a difference. We need to sit in the muck. We nee to honour your unique brain space and feelings that come with it.
You deserve to feel confident and in tune in the decisions you are making for your creations, so you can sit in a cafe eating cake knowing you’ve built a life that honours the space + pace you need to usher your Big Beautiful Dream into the world. Your creation is the fuel to craft the change we want in the world. 💥
Don’t you think you deserve a little more space?
Introducing…
The Creative compass
a three month container for Big Dreamers to plot the journey to your Big Beautiful Dream!
This is the Creative Journey, a process and cycle each creative goes on – no matter what they bring into this world. During your time in the Creative compass we journey through this cycle, identify the road blocks, hidden forests, critters hanging the woods and things that feel sticky to move beyond. Weather you feel like you are starting at the very beginning, somewhere in the middle or trying to strategize the next step – we use this as our template.
Let’s get something really clear here. If you sit in your house painting everyday, stack all your paintings on top of each other and never sell a single thing. That is just as powerful, honest, brave and valuable than any Ted Talk, stage, or six figure business. Both are art. Both are beautiful. All are needed in this world. All move through the Creative Journey.
picture this…
You understand your intuition and can tap into your feelings clearly.
You’re running your business/Team in congruency with your values and actually getting some sleep at night.
You feel anchored and embodied when making big changes and decisions in your creations.
Sharing, marketing, publishing and speaking about your creations comes with ease and confidence and clarity.
You can freely pick up your paint brush/pen/guitar/laptop/ and have fun while creating, knowing bad art is just as beautiful as “good” and “finished” art.
How we do it!
Blending Feeling, your Vision for a new world and your Values together we craft the compass that crafts your path through your creative journey. All are needed on our creative journey. We take an inventory of your values, dream and vision what you want to create, find those aligned actions, ask your body how it’s feeling and blend it all together to craft your unique Creative Compass to guide you on your journey.
WE DON’T DO ANYTHING UNLESS YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM IS GIVING YOU A RESOUNDING “FUCK YES!” I am not in the business of telling you WHAT TO DO. My coaching method blends strategy + somatic practises (taking deep breaths!) to tap into your inherent knowledge + unique brain space. The creative path is beyond the binary, the answers to “what makes sense” for you lies in the galaxy of feeling, sensation, values and dreams you hold.
I don’t know your life. You are your own best guide.
I’m here to be a mirror. I’m here to cheerlead. I’m here to run the experiments along side you and find the direction you want to go in. I’m here to celebrate the magic, bravery and knowledge you already have.

Questions that usuAlly come up!
-
Listen, I am not in the business of telling you what to do. Like, ever.
Check in with that inner-knowing the gut sensation, the same thing that tells you the tshirt isn’t the right fit and tells you want to order for takeout. That knowing. Ask that space inside you – if its a yes let’s chat. If it is an “I don’t know”. Let’s chat.
-
Here is the thing. I fundamentally believe we are all artists. Like if you work at a big glossy building in a grey suit, you are an artist. If that is a title you don’t wanna claim yet, that’s not my business.
BUT if you’re question is “I am not a conventional creative person” I am already excited and ready to work with you. If you have a little spark inside you to create something and usher it into this world, you my friend are an artist and creative person.
-
The beautiful and funny space coaching occupies is there is no “end goal” there is not data or dollar amount that we can point to that will say “this is it”. My hope is that our time together brings ease, and clarity. But and also life happens, shit comes up, maybe the path we journey on together looks different than what you thought, we can talk about it.
-
I only take on a certain amount of clients at a time, to build a business that supports me inside of capitalism I do not offer refunds on any of my 1:1 services, this includes Creative Compass.
-
Not knowing is just as powerful as knowing AND this is exactly what we do in the creative compass, craft the direction we want to move in – so maybe our starting place is somewhere lofty and not concrete. This is the power of moving togehter.

Phoebe has helped me to create a softer, more inviting approach to running my business. By offering celebration, guidance, coaching and humour Phoebe has helped me navigate both the bumpy and smooth times of entrepreneurship and to come up with actionable plans for moving forward in a creative business.

Thank you to Phoebe Taylor for being a champion of authentic existence, and for holding a magic umbrella of immunity which blocks the crushing conditions of capitalism (as a system of expectations) long enough to help artists’ put lyrics to their songs.

Phoebe is such an amazing creative coach. As a writing coach myself, I know how to give out advice and encouragement and support, but it's often hard to receive it. Phoebe makes it easy though with her incredible empathy and vulnerability in sharing her own experience as an artist, coach, and entrepreneur. She's inspires me to dare and "just do the thing".
We need your creations…
…And overwhelm, burnout, feeling too much and not enough keep those creations, your dream from being ushered into the world.
I can’t stand to see another creative human with a big dream beat themselves up because their brilliance lays beyond the binary. Because a gremlin someone else planted inside their head won that day.
My mission on earth is to encourage all humans to live their big beautiful dream, I am here to be the cheerleader, coach, strategize, be a sounding board and mucky space holder so we can do just that. Making your art, bringing your creation into the world, it the kindest most radical act any of us could ever do. I believe one great rock show can change the world, so my friend, are you ready to rock?
