Not the A to Z, linear process you’ve been taught. We still have a beginning, middle, and an end, but we also have a break after the end. That makes the four seasons of the creative process that we’re more familiar with as Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Our creative energy follows the same cycles and rhythm of the seasons. Learn how to recognise where you are in the creative process and how to support yourself through all of the ups and downs using these seasonal rhythms. Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

WRITING COACHING & EDITING SERVICES You have a story to share, experience and expertise to help others, a message to deliver, and a vision to bring to life. The journey of writing your book is a new exciting adventure often full of the unknown. It can feel overwhelming at times—like you’re navigating a maze of ideas, emotions, and self-doubt all on your own. You don’t have to do it on your own. You might want a pep talk and some problem solving to get you back in your writing rhythm, someone to walk alongside and support you as you navigate writing your book, or an editor to polish and present your ideas exactly how you always envisioned. I can help. Your book can feel inspiring, joyful, and empowering for you throughout the creation process as well as for your readers when it’s their turn to experience it.

A passing thought can become a sneaky expectation that creates emotional turmoil, friction, stress, and that feeling of being stuck. Let alone if you’ve intentionally created a fully-fledged plan and become consciously attached to those expectations, to things working out a certain way.

Trusting that I would have time to write over the past two months of summer holidays with the family turned into just two frustrating writing sessions. Instead, I took an unintentional hiatus and the Universe taught me how to honour the tension and build the excitement for when I could get back to my creative work. How long we think our book will take to write is so often a made up, sneaky expectation that doesn’t reflect the incredible growth journey we’ve been invited on. Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

Research is super fun, but it can become a distraction from the actual writing of the actual book that you’re doing the actual research for. That’s when it’s time to commit to the first draft knowing that there will be the opportunity for further research and filling in the gaps after you have a first draft to work with. Revision and editing are coming up and you can trust your future self to handle it. Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

I get distracted when I’m writing. I have to hide my phone from myself. I can check the word count multiple times as I progress from zero to 300 to 550 to 800 and finally to my 1000-word goal.

I copied quotes from a reference book into my word count and it felt like cheating. I copied the 7000 word transcript from a podcast episode into my manuscript and it felt like cheating. Why was I valuing the “hard work” of writing new words above quotes that were far more likely to make it into the final draft? Why didn’t it count to add the transcript as first draft content and move on? Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

Over the past six months of writing 40,000 words in my book I’ve taken several breaks away from writing, both expected and unexpected. I’ve been sick for three weeks, travelled to Europe for two weeks, and then had on-going sickness for two months. When I thought it was going to take me a year to write the first draft I freaked out because it felt so long. Now I expect it to take longer. And I don’t write every day or even every work day. Yet through it all I’ve come back to the writing. Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show! I’m your host, Kerryn Trisha, creative midwife, organiser of ideas, writer, editor, and writing coach.

Amanda was voice messaging her bestie when she got an email inviting her to co-author a book with other women in business sharing their stories. Immediately she knew she had to do it even though she had no idea how she’d do it. The Universe already had her back because that bestie was me, writing coach & editor. She was already so supported she knew it’d all work out. Now she shares how it all unfolded. Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

I couldn’t admit to myself that I was writing a book until I’d written 10,000 words. Two pieces of guidance from Julia Cameron got me started writing with a first thought and 1,000 words at a time. When I reviewed those first 10,000 words, I could see the book that was emerging and the structure that was forming.Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

I have Viola Hug joining me to talk all about Human Design and parenting and birthing her Human Design Affirmations for Kids series. We talk about... How the idea for these books came into her life after the birth of her second child and deeply surrendering to the void. How they tackled designing and illustrating a kids book, which had previously felt like a sticking point. The gift of understanding their unique energy that we can give our children. Supporting our kids in their energy type while also honouring our own needs. What’s going to be inside the Human Design Parenting book, coming soon! Viola Hug (They/She) is a renowned writer, speaker, and mentor; a parent of two, and has been a leader in the Human Design field since 2017. They deeply understand the power of individual energetics and how it can be used to create more harmony, understanding, and connection within family units. Viola is a 4/6 Splenic Manifestor.

I recently got up at 6am (on a Sunday, during a weekend away with my husband for his birthday) to attend Rachel Symington’s Lazy Bitches Mini-Retreat only to discover that I’d missed the first hour due to daylight saving changes. In this episode I’m sharing… Why it was even an aligned decision to attend, given my life circumstances. How the daylight savings ‘mistake’ was a blessing in disguise. The miraculous way I woke up not once but twice that morning before my alarms. How I finally released the pressure, guilt, and shame around what time I go to bed. Why it matters less what time you go to bed or the measured amount of sleep you get, and matters so much more how you decide your sleep is going to affect your energy.
