Where we talk about the mess, the doubt, the guilt, the burnout — all the stuff you usually keep quiet. If you’ve ever felt like you should’ve had it figured out by now... this space is for you.
No fluff. No “just think positive.”

You've been doing this for years. Maybe you're a performer who's realising your body can't sustain the workload anymore. Or a visual artist who wants to shift into teaching. Or someone who's built a successful freelance practice but is craving something more stable—or less stable, depending on where you're coming from.

After 13+ years in the arts sector—first as an applicant, then assessing grants and running assessment panels—I've helped clients secure over $3.6 million in funding. I've seen the same mistakes sink applications over and over again from both sides of the table.

The good news? These are completely fixable.
