Reconnect with your
joy and wonder
so you can feel more alive,
inspired, and on purpose.
Imagine feeling energized by the very thought of your next big move. Instead of stress or worry, you’re in the flow, enjoying the ride. I’m right there with you, helping to ditch the overwhelm and angst for a more creative approach to life and work. You’ll get unstuck, gain surprising new perspectives, and move swiftly toward what matters most to you.
And oh yes, and it will be fun!
“A creative life is an amplified life. It’s a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life. Living in this manner—continually and stubbornly bringing forth the jewels that are hidden within you—is a fine art, in and of itself.”
— Elizabeth Gilbert
The Experience
Ready to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be? Let’s make it happen. Over three months, you’ll move from analysis paralysis into aligned, inspired action. Together we’ll explore new possibilities, confront limiting beliefs, and clarify your next moves. You’ll learn to navigate transitions with more playfulness, ease, and confidence than you ever thought possible. By the end of our time together, you’ll have access to greater creative intelligence, a stronger sense of your intuition, and a renewed sense of joy, wonder, and appreciation —for yourself, for your people, and for the world at large.
The Experience is available one-on-one and in small groups.
I’ve transformed my life through creative practice and so can you.
Hi, I’m Laurie Shiers, an expressive arts-trained coach, best-selling author and maker of all kinds of mischief– some public, and some just for my own amusement.
After decades spent working as an in-demand copywriter, I burned out big time. Eventually, I returned to my creative roots and began making things again; for joy, and as a way to feel more alive. That’s when I rediscovered what I’d understood as a child: play can be more than just fun– it can also be healing and insightful. And when we lean into creativity, our perspective can radically shift. We access a different level of knowing ourselves and the world— no artistic experience required.
You deserve to know yourself this way too, and I’d be honored to be your guide.

The magic of creative play
Remember when you were a little kid and got so completely absorbed in what you were doing that the days just disappeared? When you built sandcastles and sang stories and made art and cut off your Barbie’s hair just because you were curious whether or not it would grow back? (Maybe that last one was just me.) Those experiences— when you made things because those things made you feel joyful and alive— have lots to teach the grown up you are today.
The thing is, play isn’t only fun. It’s also deep, and can lead to profound insights. In sessions with me, we use the creative process as a guide into places within that aren’t as easily accessible. Maybe more tender, or hidden. Of course we’ll talk about what’s going on, but that’s not all. To get you out of your head and into your body, we may explore movement or experiment something tactile, like working with clay. To express what feels wordless or too intense to name, we might do some art making. At times, I’ll suggest journaling with personalized creative prompts that help you connect experiences, recognize patterns, and see your own stories in a new light.
Working creatively like this helps us slow down and access the subconscious. From here, we begin to become more intimate with the wise voice inside. (That wisdom is kind of hard to hear when your brain is running a mile a minute.) When we can start to be in relationship with that beautiful, deep part of ourselves, making changes becomes less scary. Anxiety lessens. Hope, excitement, and possibility bloom. From that grounded, generative place, we can design a next chapter that feels amazing and aligns with what’s most important to you.
Spoiler alert: That vibrant, fully-expressed childhood version of you hasn’t disappeared for good. It might be hidden behind life’s big priorities and responsibilities, but I promise, that you is still alive and well, and here to help rekindle that inner spark.
I am too.
