- Rediscover your writing joy
- Access creativity quickly
- Maintain consistency
Overcome your writing dread for good.
Do you keep meaning to write but then you just…don’t?
You promise yourself you’ll write, but as the time draws close to open your laptop, your chest tightens, your shoulders creep up, and you suddenly you need to rearrange your paperclips—anything but face that blank page.
Your mind says “just write,” but your body has other plans. When you finally sit down with good intentions, within minutes you’re fidgeting, trapped in your own skin.
This isn’t your fault. You’re not doing anything wrong (and you’re not alone). Your nervous system is protecting you, and sternly telling yourself to buckle down won’t help.
Rewire your writing mind, and write with ease.
Forget generic affirmations that feel fake. You’ll learn how to build believable bridges from where you are now to where you want to be:
- Identify the exact thoughts keeping you stuck (they’re not what you think)
- Discover your personal goal feelings and thoughts around writing
- Build your custom Belief Ladder with rungs that are true and create real emotional shifts
- Test and refine your ladder using body feedback – your nervous system will tell you what’s working
- Create your daily maintenance plan for lasting change

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this therapy? Or mental health treatment?
A: No, this workshop focuses specifically on creative applications and writing challenges. These are simplified versions of therapeutic tools, adapted for writing purposes only. If you’re dealing with trauma or significant mental health concerns, please work with a qualified therapist. Rachael is a very qualified and expert cheerleader, but she’s not a therapist.
Q: What if I've tried affirmations and mindset work before?
A: Perfect! You already know that generic positive thinking doesn’t always work the way we want it to. This approach specifically addresses why those methods fail and gives you believable alternatives that your nervous system can actually accept.
Q: Do I need any special equipment or writing experience?
A: Just bring yourself, something to write with, and an open mind. All techniques are gentle and accessible regardless of your physical condition or writing experience level.
Q: What if I can't attend live?
A: While the live experience is powerful, you’ll receive a recording and all materials. However, spots are limited for the live session, so secure yours now.
Q: Do you offer refunds?
Absolutely – you can get a full refund up to one day before the workshop itself. Unfortunately, after that, there are no refunds available.
