the creative Uplift story

Steph McGlenchy | Photographer + Founder of The Creative Uplift

my own relationship with creativity

For nearly 15 years, my relationship with my creativity swung like a pendulum. Years and years of highs and lows left me emotionally drained and with an unhealthy and unsustainable relationship with my creativity.  When I graduated as a graphic designer in 2008 my creative confidence was sky high, and anything that I didn’t know, I knew I could pick up along the way. Fast forward two years, I had a breakdown; I reached rock bottom, ZERO creative confidence and I ended up in therapy and took a sedative each morning to get through the train ride to work.
“I had let criticism, the belittling I had experienced in my first two years working in the industry DESTROY my belief in my creativity.”
I turned my back on the industry entirely  (and in turn my creativity) and joined my Dad in helping run his business.  It took me a long, long time to realise this.  Six and a half years of working with my Dad and to heal and finally realise that deep down I AM A CREATIVE and no-one can take that away from me. What I’m trying to say is “I know!” I KNOW how big a deal it is to pursue creative ambitions in the faces of those who want you to fail. I KNOW how scary it can be to leave the stability of the 9-5 business world, and gamble the comfortability you have developed over time. But this time I had to make my experience different something deep down had to change. I needed to learn WHY my creative self-belief ebbed and flowed so much.  I tried all the cliches over the years. But creatively I was still broken inside. I kept coming back to the same question, “Why?” It’s this pursuit of the WHY that has given me the knowledge to transform my creative confidence and creative self-belief. Having the answers (the knowledge) to your WHYs is what breaks down the frustration of not knowing and replaces it with the solid foundations of understanding. I’ve done a lot of research the past couple of years into how the creative mind works, what our brain actually does when thinking creatively, and how it affects our creative confidence and how we value ourselves as creatives. I’ve spent years, spent a lot of time and money trying to find that ‘silver bullet’ that would silence that constant question “Am I good enough?” Knowing and understanding has completely transformed my relationship with my creativity and I feel just as brimming with ideas and self-belief as the day I graduated!

I kNOW you're ready for The creative Uplift Because:

can i hear three yeses? i thought so!

how do i do the course?

e-vailability

The Creative Uplift course is online and most importantly can be done at your own pace. 

The course makes you ask some pretty honest questions of yourself, so take the time you need to work through the modules.

Rebuilding your relationship with your creativity is something that occurs over time, so be patient with yourself as you work through each of your creative blocks. 

Remember you’re working sometimes through some really long-held view about your creative abilities, so that takes time to unravel.
