Coaching The Artist Way
I serve unpaid carers who provide care to a loved one, I help them to step into unrealized dreams, & reimagine their potential outside of their caring role. I give them a voice by teaching them mindset changes through therapeutic art. With art as evidence they start understanding that anything is possible, I help them to move towards what they want, supporting & nurturing them as they learn self-care. As newly empowered carers, they not only survive caring but begin to thrive & become better carers.
I am an author, a teacher, a mentor & advocate.
How would $5k or $10k enable you to create more profit and impact in your business?
A grant will allow my book to be professionally edited, my story is not only important for other cares it is important for people who make decisions for unpaid carers, and help to destigmatize mental illness, I pray it will be turned into a full length movie.
I have survived on the carers pension, & spent nearly all of my superannuation on life coaching & continuing to learn & teach what I learn.
Unpaid carers are dying under the strain, stress & overwhelm of their mainly unsupported caring role, we are also getting critically sick.
Unpaid carers need help.
Please outline what you would spend the grant on:
$5K
$1,000 book photoshoot
$3,000 editor
90 copies of my book
$10K all above +
$3-4,000 to launch my book & enlarge my audience
$1-2,000 upgrade my website
But with $15K I could do all this & solve my electronically challenged deficit that is holding me back from launching a world wide platform to nurture & teach unpaid carers to creatively be empowered.
Caring matters, unpaid carers are unseen & mostly unsupported, building a movement will change the face of caring globally, & start to heal those who give their lives to caring for a loved one.
