Create With Purpose 1:1 Coaching Program

Dream. Create. Write with Confidence.

Hello, Worthy Writer, do these words sound familiar?

“Every time I sit down to write, I struggle to put words on the page.”
“Who am I to be a writer?”
“It’s all been said before.”
“I’m not good enough to share my story.”
“The critics are going to tear me apart, so why should I even try?”
“I’m not even consistent with my writing. A paragraph here, a sentence there. Even the shortest sentences take me hours to complete, while I stare blankly into the abyss. That’s it! I’m done with writing.”

But after spending days without putting pen to paper, do you miss it? The characters are talking to you, aren’t they? Ideas are sprouting from every corner of your mind! Yet when you go back to write, your inner critic tells you, “Don’t you dare. You’re just going to fail!”

How can you go about your day eager to get into writing without the shroud of negativity damaging your confidence?

You deserve to be a confident writer, enjoying every moment of building worlds and connecting with your characters. Get back to your “why” and start writing for yourself again. Working with a confidence coach who empowers you and gives you the space to discover who you are is key to understanding your purpose as a writer.

Imagine a world where you are bursting with excitement to enter your writing session. A world where you’re exploring the journey instead of worrying about your next publication date. And writing goals are understood as you get back to the basics of why you became a writer in the first place.

Imagine you are confident in yourself as a writer and as an individual because you’ve taken the time to reflect and gain clarity. A very near future where there is no doubt in your mind that you are destined to be a writer, even when your inner critic tells you to give up. A future where you have the confidence to press PUBLISH.

Worthy Writer, you are here for the joy of writing and want strategies in place to build a confident, balanced journey. A journey with enough time to achieve your goals without sacrificing other areas of your life. The answers are already there for the taking, all you have to do is choose to explore your potential and be open to the possibilities.

Her encouragement and insight helped me come to my own conclusions, which will help me move forward with more confidence in my ability to accomplish my goals.
-Stacy Dawn, Artist & Author

I found myself able to be vulnerable with a complete stranger; that’s not something that comes easily for me. I walked away from the call feeling more assured about myself, my thoughts, and my actions.
-Courtney Blanton, Creative

Hi! I’m Kirsten McNeill, certified Life & Wellness coach through Canada Coach Academy.

I’ve always loved writing, exploring character relationships, and building worlds that inspire. It was only natural that I evolved into a book editor, then a coach to help writers be unapologetically confident and write what they love.

Connecting with those in the writer community, I see the doubt that creeps in, the fear to share your work, the imposter syndrome that stops you from enjoying what you do. My brand is all about positivity and empowerment, and my mission is to improve that empowering energy in my fellow writers.

Here’s What We’ll Work on Together

The Create With Purpose Program includes 8 one-on-one video calls, e-mail support, and 2 reflection workbooks to explore who you are as a writer and individual. Discover ways to boost your confidence and be your own cheerleader on your journey. Find what makes you an authentic writer and get back to why you love this craft.

• Week One – Confidence Call: Strengthen your confidence around yourself as a person and a writer. What does confidence mean to you? Learn practices to improve your positive energy and get excited about your journey ahead.
• Week Two – Reflection Call: Understand past and present experiences that have shaped who you are. Reflection includes your personal beliefs, your goals for the future, and what may hold you back. Deeply explore success, failure, and who you wish to be.
• Week Three – Personal Reflection Time.
• Week Four – Exploration Call: Open your mind to new possibilities and ways of thinking. Explore your creativity and what you love to do. Are you writing for yourself? Do you wish to make money from your work? The potential is endless.
• Week Five – Authenticity Call: What does it mean to be the true you? And to live your ideal life unapologetically? Explore what it means to write for yourself, not just for the market, and align your purpose with your writing goals.
• Week Six – Personal Reflection Time.
• Week Seven – Transformation Call: What’s different about you since you first started the program? What changes do you see? What changes do you still wish to see? What does transformation mean to you? Look at your accomplishments so far and where you wish to head next as an individual and a writer.
• Week Eight – Empowerment Call: Reinforce the ideas of confidence and who you are. What does empowerment mean to you? Ignite the confidence within yourself to continue from this program with more tools to succeed and a greater sense of self.
• Week Nine – Personal Reflection Time.
• Week Ten, Eleven, Twelve (Two Calls): Now that you’ve worked through the 6 themes of the program, look back on your progress and reinforce the main ideas and lessons you’ve learned over the previous 9 weeks. What have you learned that you hope to hold onto?

How Does This Work?

When it comes to coaching there are no right or wrong answers. Just like in writing, it’s all about the exploration, the journey, the storytelling. You can discover a lot about yourself in a one-hour conversation by answering questions you may not normally be asked. Once you speak the words aloud, realizations may come that you never considered before. Sometimes, moments of silence arise, and that’s okay! You don’t have to rush to come up with an answer.

Through each week, as you follow the theme and allow your thoughts to flow, be open to digging deep into who you are and what you want from your writing life. No two writers are the same. Even if you write similar genres, you will always have a unique perspective that is important to explore as you gain confidence.

I highly suggest connecting with Kirsten and experiencing the space she holds for you to grow awareness, understanding, and clarity on what next steps to take to support yourself with where you’re wanting to go in life.

What’s Special About the Create With Purpose Program?

Because I’m also a writer, I’ve experienced firsthand the mindset struggles we go through working on a novel or even just deciding to call ourselves writers. There are so many how-tos out there for storytelling, structuring a novel, and how to publish your book. Yet, how much is out there to support self-worth as a writer and creator?

Turning to a Confidence Coach may feel strange if you’ve never worked with a coach before, but I’ve been told I have a calming aura and am a good listener. With the Create With Purpose Program, you will have my undivided attention. No need to talk over the noise of social media or read through generic advice.

With one-on-one coaching, gain customized support. Be heard and supported in a space designed especially for you and your goals.

Imagine going to your computer or journal every day and writing without doubting yourself. Even if you don’t write at all one day, believing that you are still a confident writer and can state that fact proudly. Imagine discovering who you are as a writer and what you want to achieve through storytelling. Believing in yourself and your unique journey with unapologetic confidence.

Kirsten was positive, upbeat, and kind. She listened attentively, even the many times I went off on a tangent. I appreciated her focus, bringing the conversation to the intended direction, and I walked away with clear goals to work on for personal growth.
