SUMMARY:Overcoming Comparison and Imposter Syndrome group coaching masterclass
DESCRIPTION:Creative Mindset Masterclasses are for creatives who want to strengthen their mindset and build sustainable creative practices. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis month we’ll explore how to develop confidence in your creative work\, manage your self-doubt\, stop comparing yourself to others and deal with that pesky imposter syndrome. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou know comparison doesn’t help. The imposter voice lies; we know this and I’m sure you’ve read the quotes about how everyone feels this way. But it persists and you still feel it. \n\n\n\nIt’s the kind of thing that’s triggered by an announcement in your writing community\, the moment you send a submission out and you start scrolling other writers’ success stories. Maybe it comes to you when you’re sitting in a workshop and deciding that everyone else in the room is more talented\, more prepared\, more legitimate. \n\n\n\nWhatever the trigger: the result is the same. You step back\, you play smaller. It stops you from sending the work\, or you don’t take the chance and don’t let yourself be seen. And creativity suffers. \n\n\n\nThis masterclass addresses this. \n\n\n\n\nWhat we’ll cover in this masterclass\n\n\n\nThis isn’t about ‘just believe in yourself’ (if only it was that easy). That advice is true but is only half useful. This masterclass will help understand the actual mechanisms of comparison and imposter syndrome in the writing life: what triggers these feelings\, why writers are especially vulnerable\, and how to interrupt them in real time and build long-term resilience. \n\n\n\nYou’ll leave with:\n\n\n\n\nA clear understanding of what comparison and imposter syndrome are and why having them is not the problem\n\n\n\nFive specific strategies for interrupting comparison spirals when they’re already happening\n\n\n\nA personal interruption plan: your triggers\, tools and specific response\n\n\n\nA rewritten narrative about your writing identity that holds up under pressure\n\n\n\nThe mindset shift that separates writers whose careers comparison kills from writers who write anyway\n\n\n\n\nWhat we’ll cover\n\n\n\n1. The mindset shift\n\n\n\n\nWhy imposter syndrome is evidence of ambition\, not inadequacy.\n\n\n\nThe comparison mechanism: what’s happening when you measure your insides against someone else’s outsides\n\n\n\nWhy writers are particularly vulnerable and why the writing life almost guarantees regular encounters with both\n\n\n\n\n2. 5 practical strategies with interactive exercises\n\n\n\nEach strategy includes a real-world example from writers’ lives\, a practical exercise\, and immediate application. \n\n\n\n3. Community Q&A\n\n\n\nWhat makes this different\n\n\n\nThese masterclasses are interactive and engaging rather than lectures. You’ll leave with practical tools you can use immediately\, plus connection with other writers who understand exactly what you’re navigating. \n\n\n\nWho this is for\n\n\n\n\nWriters who spend more energy comparing themselves to others than writing\n\n\n\nWriters who struggle to submit\, share\, or be seen because the imposter voice is too loud\n\n\n\nWriters who feel behind (peers\, where they ‘should’ be\, some imagined version of their writing life)\n\n\n\nAnyone who has played smaller than they wanted to because of comparison or self-doubt\n\n\n\nWriters who want to write anyway\, even when the spiral starts\n\n\n\n\nInvestment\n\n\n\n\nFREE for coaching members\n\n\n\n$20 single session ticket\n\n\n\n$180 annual pass (access to 10+ masterclasses and monthly mindset newsletters throughout the year)\n\n\n\n\nYou are not an imposter. You are a writer in the middle of becoming. Come learn how to write from that place. \n\n\n\nHow to join\n\n\n\nYou can choose the option that suits you. Zoom links are sent the day before the live session\, and replays are sent within 24 hours after the session: \n\n\n\n🎟️ Single masterclass ticket – $20\n\n\n\n\nAccess this one session live and replay included\n\n\n\nPerfect if you want to focus on a single topic or join occasionally\n\n\n\n\n📅 Spark Pass – 12 months of masterclasses – $180\n\n\n\n\nAccess all 10+ monthly masterclasses for 12 months from purchase\n\n\n\nMonthly mindset newsletter for creatives\n\n\n\nLive or replay included for every session\n\n\n\n\n\nNot ready for a full year?

SUMMARY:Play\, Experimentation + Permission | Creative Mindset Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:Creative Mindset Masterclasses are for creatives wanting to strengthen their mindset and build sustainable creative practices. \n\n\n\nA 60-minute interactive online masterclass for writers whose writing has gotten heavier than it used to be\, and who are ready to bring some of the joy\, and the silliness\, back. \n\n\n\n\nStop performing. Start playing.  \n\n\n\nThe problem\n\n\n\nYou used to write because you wanted to know what happened next. Now every sentence has to earn its place before you’ll write it. Every idea gets evaluated before it’s even finished forming. Somewhere between loving writing and taking it seriously\, the play disappeared. The answer isn’t to care less about your work. It’s to remember that play and seriousness were never actually opposites. \n\n\n\nWhat you’ll learn\n\n\n\n\nWhy play fuels creative breakthrough\, not despite the stakes\, but because of how it lowers them\n\n\n\nHow to separate generating ideas from judging them\, so judgment stops strangling everything before it starts\n\n\n\nHow to lower the stakes deliberately\, even on work that genuinely matters\n\n\n\nWhy curiosity is reason enough to follow an idea\, with no destination required\n\n\n\nHow to build a permission practice that makes experimentation feel safe again\n\n\n\n\n\nIncludes\n\n\n\nLive exercises (yes\, including a competition for the worst possible opening line)\, reflection on your own writing history with play\, group Q&A\, a literal permission slip\, and a downloadable handout with your personal permission framework. \n\n\n\nHow to Join\n\n\n\nYou can choose the option that suits you. Zoom links are sent the day before the live session\, and replays are sent within 24 hours after the session: \n\n\n\n🎟️ Single Masterclass Ticket – $20 \n\n\n\n\nAccess this one mastercalss (live and replay)\n\n\n\nPerfect if you want to focus on a single topic or join occasionally\n\n\n\n\n📅 Spark Pass – 12 Months of Masterclasses – $180 \n\n\n\n\nAccess all 10+ monthly masterclasses and monthly mindset insight newsletters for 12 months from purchase\n\n\n\nLive and replay of every masterclass\n\n\n\n\n\nGrab your seat for this masterclass\, or secure full-year access with the Spark Pass.\n\n\n\n\nBuy a single masterclass ticket\n\n\n\nBuy a Spark Pass\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n\n\n\nCurrent coaching members and program participants receive free access to the group coaching masterclasses. Non-members can join individual sessions for $20 or purchase a Spark Pass for 12-month access.\n\n\n\nAll ticket and pass holders receive the Zoom link within 24 hours before the live session\, and the replay is sent within 24 hours after the session.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Meg Dunley\n\n\n\nMeg is a writing and creativity coach who has spent years helping writers build sustainable\, joyful creative practices. Her belief in the power of play isn’t theoretical\, it goes back to her mum\, a kindergarten teacher who built her entire world around the idea that play is how humans figure things out. Meg has carried that into her own creative life in some deliberately unpolished ways: she took up jazz piano as an adult purely for the joy of it (she never mastered it\, and that’s the point)\, and did weekly improv classes mostly so she had a reason to laugh out loud for two hours. She brings that same spirit of low-stakes experimentation to her coaching and to this masterclass. \n\n\n\n\nLike this?
