Reframe blocks.
Untangle ideas.
Start the thing.
In our hour-long session together, I will draw on more than a decade of experience asking people thoughtful and illuminating questions to help you reframe blocks, untangle ideas, and start the thing.
Over the years, I've helped people shift out of creative ruts, start podcasts, gain the confidence to try stand-up comedy, find the structure in the creative "mess", decide where to start, finish a novel, build new connections and more.
With attention and care, I will share pragmatic insights from conversations with hundreds of inspiring people about their creative process, and first-hand experience as a published author, best-selling newsletter creator, podcaster, event creator and freelance writer.
Bring a creative idea, a project, or a stumbling block, and I will bring curiosity, insight and inspiring recommendations.
Things we can explore…
Starting a new creative project
Sustaining a creative practice
Non-fiction book proposal advice
Building a writing career
Newsletter creation, strategy & set up
Podcast creation, editing & set up
Accountability & setting realistic timelines
Event, retreat and course design
clarity + accountability + inspiration +
clarity + accountability + inspiration +
Sometimes all we need to get started or move through a stumbling block is an attentive, curious and experienced sounding board.
I’d love to help you find clarity and feel inspired.
Things people love about the sessions…
Megan Edmiston, writer and creator of Hotel Pens
“I am amazed at how quickly Madeleine was able to unlock things that I had been stuck on for months. I reached out to her after mulling over a creative endeavor for quite some time and she was immediately able to untangle and shine a light on every part of it.
I left our session completely inspired. She gave me enough confidence to move forward and helped me let go of some of the weeds I was getting lost in.
Madeleine is truly an enthusiastic, encouraging, and inspiring mentor. She brings poignant questions and powerful insights that were invaluable to me. Her guidance was exactly what I needed to sprint forward in the right direction. I could not recommend her more!”
Madhura Bhosale, senior manager
“I reached out to Madeleine when I felt overwhelmed by months of scattered ideas and uncertainty. In just one session, she guided me to find clarity, shape a clear structure, and take the first step. Her insights were exactly what I needed to move forward confidently. I’m truly grateful for her guidance and would be booking another session soon to experience her positive energy and invaluable expertise again.”
Amy Lovat, author and founder of Secret Book Stuff
“Weeks later, I’m still struggling to understand just how Madeleine managed to cut through to the heart of my mess of project ideas! I can only assume it was magic. Or just many years of experience listening to creative people and being a true, open-hearted and clear-eyed empath.
I came to her with six months worth of brainstorming a newsletter project that didn’t yet make sense in my head. By the end of the hour, she’d helped me realise the title, the structure and the creative purpose of the project.
Madeleine has a wealth of knowledge she’s willing and excited to share and has checked in for accountability since then, for which I’m so grateful. Would do another session in a heartbeat to soak up the good vibes.”
Annie Dietz, founder of Personal Space
“Our session was rich in resources. Madeleine came ready to go, not just up to speed on my endeavour, but at the ready with multiple networking contacts, books, and concepts to ponder for my enrichment and growth as a budding entrepreneur.
I so appreciate Madeleine and her time, her understanding of a person so quickly, precisely, and empathetically.”
Amelia S, consultant
“Madeleine has a real energy and positivity that made our conversation about my ideas for a podcast and newsletter such a joy. She’s also very experienced across a range of platforms and mediums that meant I walked away feeling like I had choices to explore, and that could be uniquely mine. Highly recommend!”

Having a space to ponder thoughtful questions and hear our own answers can sometimes be all the nudge we need.
I’d love to help you find the next step.
