A Creative Compass

An Intuitive Way to Navigate a Creative Life

Break free from the need for outside approval and create a vibrant, fulfilling life.

We all possess creativity, whether it's in the clothes we wear, the way we arrange flowers, or the patterns we choose for our bedroom walls. However, in today's fast-paced, AI-driven world, many of us have lost touch with our innate creative abilities. By chasing trends and following cultural cues, we forget to trust ourselves, instead relying on algorithms to dictate what we like, what we make, and crucially, how we feel.

After experiencing a debilitating period of burnout, award-winning author Emma Gannon understands just how essential creativity is for survival. Through necessity, she has forged her own creative compass to rekindle her spark when it’s running low. Deeply personal to each of us, she shares how we can set our own inner compass, with mindsets, rituals, and actions to reorient us when we’re lost, and help creativity flow through every part of our days.

With confident ease, navigate towards a creative life that feels joyful and abundant.
