FIND YOURSELF THROUGH ART
You Used to Know Exactly Who You Were. Art Will Help You Figure Out Who You Are Now.
A 12-week supported The Artist's Way creative cohort adapted for chronic illness, burnout, and the big life transitions that took you away from yourself. Journal, paint, write, collage, and create your way back to yourself.
12 Weeks Live | Small Cohort | All Replays Included | Starts April 12
Something Happened.
The diagnosis. The burnout. The grief. The career that ended. The caretaking that consumed everything.
Maybe it was one thing. Maybe it was all of it, stacked up, until you looked around one day and couldn’t quite remember who you were before.
“Who am I now?”
You used to have things that were yours. A creative practice. Plans. A version of yourself that showed up with energy and ideas.
Now your art supplies sit in the corner. Not because you don’t want to use them. Because by the time your body cooperates, there’s nothing left.
This Isn’t Your Fault
You didn’t lose yourself because you weren’t trying.
You lost yourself because something took everything you had.
The creative practices, the hobbies, the small moments of joy? Those were the first things to go. Not because they didn’t matter. Because they required a kind of surplus you haven’t had in a long time.
That’s not a character flaw. That’s what happens when you’re surviving.
And If You’ve Tried Before and Quit?
That’s not evidence you can’t do this. That’s evidence the thing you tried wasn’t built for the life you’re actually living.
The original Artist’s Way requires handwritten morning pages every single morning. Solo outings every week. A kind of consistent, healthy-body energy that a lot of us don’t have these days.
It was written for someone with a different life than yours.
You’re not someone who can’t finish things. You’re someone who’s been trying to do a program built for a body and a life you don’t have right now.
The question isn’t whether you can do this. The question is whether you can do this with a program that was actually built for you.
Introducing
The Gentle Artist’s Way with Katie
12 weeks. Intuitive journaling, painting, writing, collage, and more.
A small cohort of women who get it.
The Artist’s Way — rebuilt from the ground up for the version of you that’s actually here.
Brand-new curriculum integrating Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way and The Creative Act, the research of Brené Brown, self-compassion practices, and years of Katie’s own The Artist's Way and arts in health work with women living with chronic illness, burnout, and identity-disrupting life transitions.
This is not the book on its own. This is the book with a guide who has lived this — who has spent years adapting every tool, every practice, every exercise for women navigating fluctuating capacity and the particular exhaustion of not knowing who you are anymore.
Every week is built around what your body and nervous system can actually do. Cameras off is the norm. A flare day means you do three minutes of journaling instead of thirty. If writing is hard, we help create new ways for morning pages, like voice memos. Nobody falls behind here because there is no “behind.”
By Week 12, you'll be looking ahead with a new sense of purpose and joy, regardless of your circumstance.
Here's what changes in The Artist's Way with Katie:
You'll do the things you love again - the things you stopped letting yourself do. Pick up your art supplies again, start writing again, try a new creative hobby, because you want to, not because someone told you to. Fill your morning pages on your terms.
You'll have what you've never been able to figure out before: Hobbies you love and a creative practice designed for the body you have now. A group of women you text photos of your messy paintings. A framework you can return to after every flare, every breakdown, every setback.
You'll feel what you forgot was possible in this big beautiful life, even if things haven't turned out as planned. You're curious again. Excited. You're uncovering layers of yourself... not the old version, but the right-now version.
You'll become who you've been afraid to meet. A woman who stops describing herself by her diagnosis and what she can no longer do and starts describing herself by what she makes, what she loves, and what she's curious about.
The 3-Phase Roadmap
Coming Home to Yourself (Weeks 1–4)
Safety first. You meet the cohort on your terms (we never force cameras or sharing when you don't feel like it), start adapted morning pages, name your inner critic, and begin the identity work of remembering what you still love and what catches your eye. By the end of Phase 1, you stop thinking there's nothing left for you and find the creative ground under your feet.
Building Something That Holds (Weeks 5–8)
You start creating consistently. You map what's actually available in this body, this life, right now, and discover it's more than you thought. You reframe scarcity thinking around time and energy, share something you made, and learn that flare days and imperfect weeks don't disqualify you. By the end of Phase 2, you stop waiting to be well enough. You build a practice for the life you have.
Becoming Who You Are Now (Weeks 9–12)
Self-compassion becomes a practice, not just a concept. You set boundaries around your creative energy, choose your own project and pace, and answer the question you walked in with, even if the answer is still incomplete. By the end of Phase 3, you stop asking who you were. You start knowing who you are now, excited for what's to come.
The path back to yourself is through creativity.
In The Artist's Way with Katie, you'll get everything you need to find yourself again through creativity & community:
The Full 12-Week Cohort Container
April 12 – June 21 — so that you have real structure for this work instead of a book you start alone and stop by Week 3. This is your container: the live facilitated sessions, the community, the replays, the buddy, the accountability. Twelve weeks where someone is paying attention and supporting you no matter what.
6 Live Virtual Expressive Arts Workshops (Every Other Week)
Live, hands-on creative writing, painting, and journaling sessions held Sundays at 11am ET with same-day replays — so that you can feel something other than the chaos of life for an hour. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of yourself, the theme's in the book, and how creativity shows up in your life right now. No skills or fancy supplies needed.
Weekly-ish Monday Alignment & Morning Pages Sessions
A gentle 30-minute weekly-ish reset at 10am ET — so that you can start your week with something that's yours before the medication schedule, the fatigue, the meetings, the cleaning, the caretaking, and the to-do list take over. Thirty minutes that change how the rest of Monday feels.
Monthly Tackling Tasks & Accountability Meet-Ups
Guided group work on the Artist's Way exercises scheduled throughout our time together — so that the book exercises don't pile up into another thing you feel guilty about not finishing. You'll leave each session with something done, not a plan to do it later.
Accountability Buddy Program (Optional)
A real person in your corner — so that you have someone to share "I did my morning pages" or "I couldn't get out of bed today," and either message gets the same response: "I see you."
Circle Community + Direct Access to Katie
A private community of women who understand what you're living — so that at 2am when you can't sleep and your brain is spiraling about who you've become, you have somewhere to go where someone actually gets it. Not a Google search. Not a Reddit thread. Your people.
Full Replay Access, Every Session, Same Day
Every session on demand, same-day replay shared with the cohort — so that a flare day or wild work day never turns into "I'm already behind, why bother." You watch it when your body lets you. When you can focus. No guilt. No catching up. No falling behind.

This Program Is for You If…
✓ You used to have a creative practice and can’t remember the last time you made something
✓ You’ve tried The Artist’s Way before and didn’t finish — and you’re still thinking about it
✓ You have a pull toward art, writing, or creativity but no idea how to make it work with the life and body you have right now
✓ You’re tired of programs that ask you to push through, show up perfectly, or perform wellness
✓ You want to be around women who actually understand — not women who suggest yoga
✓ You’re navigating chronic illness, burnout, grief, a major life transition, or that particular feeling of having lost yourself somewhere along the way
✓ You want to answer the question “who am I now?” — and you’re willing to try answering it through making things
What This Is Not
X This is not art therapy. I’m not a therapist and this is not a clinical program.
X This will not cure your illness, resolve your grief, or undo the burnout. What it can do is give you a creative wellness practice that benefits your health and wellbeing, a real connected community, and a clearer sense of who you are in this season of your life.
X This is not a program that requires daily commitment, perfect attendance, or any particular level of creative skill. You do not have to be an artist. You do not have to be consistent. You do not have to be having a good week when April 12 arrives.
X You just have to be willing to show up as-is and see what happens.
Your Guide
Hi, I'm Katie.
I was living the "American dream" as a high-achieving people-pleaser marketing agency exec until I got COVID, which triggered autoimmune diseases, caused POTS, and made me leave my job and find myself again after years of having my career as my identity.
Through The Artist's Way, I became a watercolor and mixed media artist, creative wellness educator, and founder of Inner Peace Art Studio.
Now I believe we're all artists and there's magic in the creative process. I've been teaching creative wellness practices to women with chronic illness, burnout, and stress for over four years.
I'm also a graduate student in the University of Florida's leading Arts in Medicine program, which means the research on creativity, nervous system regulation, and healing isn't just something I teach; it's something I study every single day.
I found The Artist's Way and process-focused painting during my own season of needing to figure out who the heck I was after I got sick and left my marketing leadership career. I know what it's like to be the person whose art supplies are in the corner. I know what it's like to want something and not have the energy to reach for it.
I built this program because the original Artist's Way changed my life... and I watched it fail the people I cared about most, over and over, because it wasn't built for their reality. So I rebuilt it.
I'm also a former marketing executive who led a 60-person team at a multimillion-dollar agency for a decade. So I know how to build things that work.
And I know what it costs when your body rewrites your entire identity.
Your Investment
A private creative wellness facilitator who specializes in chronic illness charges $150–$250 per session. Twelve weeks of that would run you $1,800-$3,000. An adapted cohort program with live facilitation, community support, and this level of built-in modification doesn’t exist anywhere else. I looked.

50 Spots. Limited-Time Pricing.
The cohort is capped at 50 women so I can be present with each of you — in the community, in the workshops, in the Monday sessions.
The $100-off pricing is available for a limited time. Once this enrollment window closes, the price goes to $397.
Once the 50 spots are filled or the enrollment deadline passes, the door closes and we begin.

Attend the Orientation Session on April 12 (required), try the tools, and experience the community. If by April 16 you decide this isn't the right fit or the right time, just email Katie at [email protected]
You'll receive a full refund, no questions asked, no hard feelings. Or, if you love what you've experienced but the timing isn't right, you can defer your spot to the next cohort at the same price you paid.
Before You Go
If you’re still reading, I want to talk to the part of you that’s thinking: “I want this. But what if I can’t keep up?”
You won’t have to. There’s nothing to keep up with. Replays are always there. Your buddy is always there. I’m always there. You can miss a Sunday and come back Wednesday and not have lost a thing.
And if you’ve tried The Artist’s Way before and didn’t finish... good. That’s actually the right preparation for this. The Fresh Start Workshop helps you name exactly what got in the way last time, so we can do something different this time.
50 spots. We start April 12. You don’t have to be ready. You just have to be willing to find out who you are now.
Questions You Might Have
What if I can’t make sessions live?
Every session is recorded and available on replay the same day. You will never be behind. There is nothing to catch up on. You show up when your body lets you.
I’ve tried The Artist’s Way before and didn’t finish. Will this be different?
That’s exactly who this is for. The reason most people with chronic illness don’t finish TAW isn’t lack of commitment — it’s that the original program wasn’t built for fluctuating capacity. This one is. The Fresh Start Workshop helps you set down the weight of previous attempts before Week 1 even begins.
Do I need to be an artist or have any creative experience?
No. Zero skill required. This is process-focused — the goal is what making things does for your nervous system, not what the thing looks like when you’re done. Women in this program paint from their couch, journal in three sentences, and call it a win.
What do I need for supplies?
Very little. You’ll get my curated supply list when you register — everything is accessible and affordable. If you already have supplies, you probably already have enough.
What if my health gets worse during the 12 weeks?
Then you use your buddy, open the Tiny Acts of Art deck, and do what you can. And if you need to step back entirely for a stretch, the No-Shame Re-Entry Guide tells you exactly how to come back without the spiral.
Is this art therapy?
No. I’m not a therapist and this is not a clinical program. What I teach is creative wellness — evidence-informed practices that support nervous system regulation and identity exploration through art. If you’re working with a therapist, this complements that work beautifully.
What’s the refund policy?
Cancel before the first live session with no questions asked, as long as you haven’t accessed any program content. Health emergencies, schedule changes, flares — we’ve got you.
50 Spots. April 12.
You’ve read this far. You know whether this is for you.
P.S.
If you’re the woman who bought the book twice and quit both times by Week 3 — this was built for you. Not the person you used to be. Not the person you’re working toward. You, right now, exactly as you are.
The cohort is capped at 50. The $100-off pricing won’t last. And this is brand-new curriculum you won’t find anywhere else.
I hope to see you there.
