Hi! I’m Jade,
the ever-evolving creative behind Collected Creatives.
I support creative female business owners and freelancers to holistically “feng shui” their lives. To Marie Kondo their workflows, well-being routines, and mindsets, so to speak.
I’m finally attracting the right type of client and feeling confident in my abilities and skills. I want that for you, too.
Hi! I’m Jade,
the ever-evolving creative behind Collected Creatives.
I support creative female professionals to holistically “feng shui” their lives. To Marie Kondo their workflows, well-being routines, and mindsets, so to speak.
I’m finally attracting the right type of client and feeling confident in my abilities and skills. I want that for you, too.
Take a seat and let me share with you how Collected Creatives came to be...
My journey as a business-owning creative has been filled with peaks and valleys, challenges and triumphs, burnout and thriving.
Running my creative business, Your Brand Journey, has been a wild ride. It forced me to learn, adapt, and declutter my very being itself. I had to learn to lean my life and day-to-day down to what really matters.
I gradually unlearned harmful habits and paradigms and replaced them with integrated self-care routines to benefit myself and my biz. In a nutshell, I came to understand that my personal health and well-being are inextricably intertwined with the health and success of my business… And everything else.
Born from this hard-won wisdom: a self-care-based, sustainable system, tailored to creative minds.
Now that the dust has settled, and bearing in mind that there are always more lessons to learn, I have much more clarity on what works for me and what doesn’t. In sharing what I’ve learned, it soon became clear: what works for me can be replicated and works for others too!
The truth is, the golden thread weaving itself through every facet of our lives (both personal and professional) is self-care. Everything is connected…
When I’m not feeling my best...
I can’t perform as well for my clients.
I have less of myself to give to my family and friends.
And trying to make up for it through grit and determination just makes everything worse.
Consistent use of my holistic strategies boosts...
My biz goal setting, and the way I reach my targets.
All my meaningful relationships.
My physical health, mental well-being, creativity, and dreams for the future.
Let me tell you what I wish someone had told me, Creative Lady...
Having a great work ethic means expressing the best version of yourself through your business. What does this look like? Showing up as a healthy, vibrant you, brimming with the value only you can bring into this world.
Does this involve working overtime? I used to answer, “Yes, of course,” with no hesitation. I’ve come to understand the answer is really, “It happens, but overtime should ALWAYS be balanced with restorative (cup-filing) downtime.”
Working so hard that you work yourself into an early grave is not noble, it’s being cruel to the well-rested, intelligent, thriving, best version of yourself. It’s cheating your clients out of the best you can offer them as a healthy, creative genius. It’s sending a clear message to your loved ones that you prioritize running yourself down over spending quality time with them. None of this can (or should) be interpreted as qualities of a good work ethic.
In this hub we are all about:
Are you craving freedom from overwhelm as much as I did?
As a creative biz owner, my businesses very much reflect who I am and what I offer the world. It’s personal and it matters to me a lot! The only way I can meet the high standards I set for myself is to show up as my best self every single day.
After experiencing burnout, I carefully cultivated healthy habits that contributed to my recovery. Now, they support me in staying healthy, optimizing my business processes, and living my best life. This isn’t a quick fix, it’s a holistic lifestyle that delivers consistent results as long as I consistently invest in practicing these new habits. It keeps me organized and energized, the perfect antidote to overwhelm.
These habits include....
Monthly Reflection & Planning
Templates and tools to support me
Mindset journalling & meditations
Setting up personal & client boundaries
It's beautiful, fun, AND effective habits.
I find it hard to stick with habits I don’t enjoy. Likewise, I quickly abandon things that aren’t beautiful. The creative in me needs to be engaged in my habits. She needs to be entertained while I focus on getting things done. Working then becomes a joy and feels more like playing – a fun leapfrog in the right direction.
Using beautiful aesthetics to speak to fellow creative minds, I have developed super-effective, powerful systems and resources to support business owners on the journey to success:
