I used to tell myself I didn’t feel inspired or motivated.
Even though the longing to create was always there.

For me, it was a way to avoid the risk of being disappointed in my work.
The perfectionist within me didn’t allow anything “mediocre.”

But the shift came when I did it anyway.
I started drawing in a small format and told myself it was just for fun. Nothing more.

And guess what?
The more I showed up, the more my inspiration and motivation grew.

So if you’re feeling stuck, try this:
Set a timer for 10 minutes and create something just for you.

Let it be bad. Let it be messy.
See it as an exercise, not something that has to become a masterpiece.

Draw. Doodle. Fill a page with two colors.
Don’t overthink it. Trust your gut.

Nothing can be wrong here 💛

What usually stops you from starting?

I took a break from this space for a while.
Not because creativity or motivation disappeared.
But because life got loud.

Started a new full time job at a creative agency.
Unexpectedly lost a close loved one.

Lately I’ve been feeling the pull again.
The quiet call back to share creative sparks.

So I’m returning here.
Slowly. Gently.

If you’re still here, say hi. 💛👋🏻

Några av veckans höjdpunkter: och .band som spelade på och min fd ensemblekompis Ebbas fantastiska examensföreställning på

Det var väldigt roligt att få klippa och leka med collage igen och att få nya perspektiv på olika tillvägagångssätt. Så kul!!

Om du är det minsta sugen på att testa själv, så tveka inte att hoppa på när nästa tillfälle ges!

Tusen tack 🫶🏻

Sometimes life feels overwhelming — not just from everything we do, but from the constant noise and endless stream of impressions.

It’s so easy to lose connection with yourself.

I’ve found that creating is the gentlest way to come back home.

When I make art, I reconnect with the deepest part of me.

Sometimes I can hear my own thoughts again.
Other times, I just rest in the stillness of the moment.

Art, journaling, creativity… they’re not luxuries.
They’re how you find your way home again. 💛

Since I was 7, one simple habit has saved me again and again — through trauma, burnout, and every season I felt most lost.

Journaling became my lifeline.

Not because it gave me all the answers, but because it gave me back to myself.

On those pages, I could be honest.
I could untangle the noise in my head.

And little by little, I started to reconnect with the parts of me I thought were gone.

That’s why I created “From Stuck to Unstoppable”.

It’s 40 gentle journaling prompts to guide you out of overthinking and back to your voice — through the healing power of creativity.

Since I was 7, journaling has been my way back to myself through trauma, burnout, and crippling anxiety — and now these prompts are here to guide you, too.

💛 Comment UNSTOPPABLE below and I’ll send it to you.

I used to believe that voice in my head — the one saying “you’re not creative enough” or “who do you think you are?” — was proof I should stay quiet.

So I stopped creating.
Stopped painting.
Stopped dreaming.

And bit by bit… I stopped feeling like ME.

But when I hit rock bottom in 2019, I knew:
I couldn’t keep hiding.
I had to come home to the weird, sensitive, creative woman I’ve always been.

Everything changed when I started creating again — just for ME.

No pressure. No perfection. Just presence.

💛 If you’re ready to feel like YOURSELF again — fully expressed and creatively free — my free e-book will show you how to befriend that voice and let YOUR spark come alive.

Ever feel like you’re stuck on autopilot, unsure where your spark went or how to get it back?

When that happened to me, I realised I had lost myself in to the endless to-do-lists of of being a mom, an agency manager, taking care of the bills, picking up spaghetti from the floor and navigating between piles of laundry.

My way back to myself, was when I reclaimed my creativity. I told myself it was ok to feel like a beginner. It was ok to feel like a fraud. It was ok to make bad art.

I started acting in an Improv Comedy ensemble and started painting again - just like I used to when I was younger. And I became ME again.

Your creativity isn’t a luxury. It’s a lifeline back to yourself — to joy, curiosity, and feeling like you again.

Follow .rahm for daily sparks to help you reconnect with yourself — one small act of creativity at a time.

There was a time I felt invisible, overwhelmed by fear, and unsure of who I truly was.

But creativity became my lifeline. It helped me find my way back to myself — through drawing, theatre sketches, and eventually, painting and improv comedy.

Creativity didn’t just help me on my healing journey — it revealed the version of me I was always meant to be.

And that gets to be your reality too.

You don’t have to feel lost or alone. Start where you are.

Create your way back to YOU.
