Attention! Writers, standups, storytellers, podcasters, speakers, authors, directors, content creators!

Beth's technique helps you uncover your athentic voice, and figure out which projects are perfect for you now, and get them done.

This workshop is designed to create a breaththough experience.

Whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed by the choices or just on a plateau - or even if you feel inspired but unable to focus - Beth has worked with moving creatives off the ledge and into their most authentic voices and perfect projects for now.

If you answer yes to even one of these questions this workshop is perfect for you...
