Talk To Mayya

Talk To Mayya Are you a creative professional seeking clarity? I help sensitive, deep-thinking people like you set authentic goals and achieve them on their own terms.

Hi, I am Mayya - artist, designer, and educator turned life coach for creatives. I am just as weird as you are. As an artist/designer/educator turned life coach, I know just how special a creative person’s experience in this world is. My superpower as a coach is making you feel seen and heard on your quest for self-knowledge. I won't tell you what to do - I will gently guide you as you set your most authentic goals ever and achieve them on your own terms.

::: IN LIEU OF A MISSION STATEMENT

I believe that true transformation relies on deep self-knowledge. I believe that we are all broken. And we are all beautiful. I believe that empathy and creativity will save the world. I believe that things that matter take time. I believe that authenticity is a verb ­- we are forever changing. I believe that you can design a life that reflects your deepest desires.

::: WOULD COACHING WORK FOR YOU? Are you ready to do the work? In our coaching sessions we “vision”, uncover your truest needs, set strategy, question old beliefs, and shift the perspective. But the real work happens between sessions. It’s where all those insights turn into action. I can’t do it for you, but I can (and will) support you as you do it. I am committed to creating a safe, healing environment for my clients to explore themselves, their lives, and their work. Let me hold the space for you.

A simple journaling challenge: Once a week, grab a journal, grab a pen. Use my prompt if it resonates/challenges/piques your curiosity. Write for 10 minutes. If something interesting comes up—keep going. If not, that's it for the week.

We spend so much of our daily lives with other people's opinions/agendas, that we forget the taste of our own wisdom.

Will you join me in this tiny, brave act of showing up for yourself?

Sometimes you need to slow down enough to remember why you started in the first place.

Тo strip the work back to its original rhythm. To remember that thing that made you curious, awake, moved, angry, in love, passionate.

When you move too fast for too long, everything gets blurry and flat. You wake up and the tasks have replaced the desires. Your momentum has become an obligation. And now you are a slave to the direction you never intentionally chose in the first place.

Slowing down is not a defeat. It is a recalibration that gives you enough space to notice whether the work is still aligned with the person you are now.

If you feel scattered or strangely indifferent… pause. Step back a few inches (or a few feet). 🤍

Complacency is creativity’s biggest enemy.

Not the fear of failure, not your self-doubt. Those at least mean you’re doing something, that you’re in contact with your work.

Complacency, though, is kind of a quiet death.

You stop asking questions. You settle for what’s working, even if it no longer sets you on fire. You get comfortable.

And over time, that comfort starts to control you.

Creative growth (any growth!) requires friction. Not a constant state of frustration, of course. But the healthy pattern of:
new contact / resistance / challenge / new learning / new solution / new output.

A willingness…
to be challenged
to risk doing something poorly
to sit with discomfort.

If you’re feeling stuck and uninspired, don’t panic — you’ve probably become too comfortable. 🥴

And now you’re being asked to stretch again.✨✨✨
