Lost your spark or feeling creatively adrift?
Set and achieve goals gently
This workbook was created for sensitive creatives who:
- feel disconnected from their creative spark
- are overwhelmed by perfectionism or people-pleasing
- crave a soft, flexible structure to return to themselves
This is not about hustle or “shoulds.”
It is about creating a safe, nurturing space where your creativity can breathe and bloom—at your pace, in your way.
What’s inside your gentle workbook
Inside, you’ll find pages that guide you back to yourself:
- Guided reflections to root into the present moment
- Creative mapping tools to explore dreams and goals without pressure
- Playful exercises to doodle, try something new, and release perfectionism
- Seasonal & timeline spreads that create flow without rigid structure
- Affirmations and intention-setting practices to nurture healing and self-trust
This is your soft landing place — to reflect, to dream, and to take your next step with kindness.
About the Author
I’m Anastasiia, an artist, surface pattern designer, and creative educator. My journey has been anything but ordinary — I survived the siege of Mariupol, fled war with my son, and started over in Canada with nothing but hope and determination.
In the middle of loss and rebuilding, art became both my lifeline and my compass. Creating taught me that even in the hardest seasons, beauty and joy can be rediscovered one gentle step at a time.
Now I share that truth through my work, blending soulful art with tools that support sensitive and neurodivergent creatives. Start Where You Are was born from this lived experience: a guide to help you reconnect with your own voice, honor your pace and find strength in softness.
