Calling all creative spirits still yearning for the courage to create!
Want to go from a life that feels borrowed to one that’s creatively unleashed-without stress, imposter-syndrome, or second guessing? I developed The Creative Life membership to give you a serving of creativity, business, education, and inspiration so you can live the life you deserve!
IMAGINE…
What If You Could…
Discover your hidden or forgotten creative talents in a way that feels playful and safe (because nobody ever told you re-igniting your creativity would be THIS challenging ….
Get a bridge from your fears to unwavering confidence knowing you’ve got what it takes to live a life that speaks to your heart.. And no, you don’t need any fancy certifications or training under your belt to do so.
Jumpstart income streams you haven’t thought of before using a holistic blueprint that meets you where you are with your art, creativity and business.
Join a community of artisitc people like you who get it, encourage and accept you.
Design a lifestyle that feels bespoke because it’s built around your big dreams and gifts.
By now you’ve probably learned that living that life your heart has been craving takes more than will power. You need a trusted source of advice, motivation and inspiration … And the mentorship of a trusted Renaissance soul who’s helped thousands of creatives push the restart button on their creative side.
In a perfect world, you’d wake up replenished and focused, ready to put your creative stamp on the day. On your art. On your business. On your life. All while feeling rooted in a consistent creative practice that felt natural, dynamic, and playful. .. Growing your artistic side into a thriving, successful business without compromising your creativity or values. You’d find yourself living your dreams AND innovating with Iris-Apfel-level confidence.
But hit the breaks real fast because that’s not the case quite yet.
After all, sometimes the creative process can feel a bit lonesome. It’s difficult to know how to get unstuck enough to move past fear… to get permission to dream big and then bigger. To let yourself follow your curiosity with compassion and acceptance of your ideas. Nothing is too crazy or wild in my book.
It’s not that your life hasn’t worked out, but maybe there is a little voice getting louder and louder. It says: Stop living your life based on someone else’s standards… Live a life that feels wild and true to you. It’s not too late.
If only you could tap into that inner knowing and build a creative lifestyle built around Y.O.U.
We sometimes believe we can figure it out on our own, but question is: have you?

The Creative Life membership program is like bringing in the troops. it’s that little nudge that says yes i can and i’m pretty damn awesome!
So I have to ask, why go it alone when we can go together?
I’m Jan McCarthy and I made The Creative Life Membership just for you.
I understand what it’s like to feel the pain of a frustratrated voice and feel like maybe I’m not enough, it’s too hard, or even it’s too late. My art and creative practice didn’t begin until I was in my 50’s. But since then I’ve found success as an entrepreneur and artist with sales to art collectors all over the world, surface pattern design on clothing that has walked the runway in Paris, features in prominent publications, leading workshops and creative retreats nationally and internationally, and I’ve helped thousands of creatives like you overcome their fears, explore their dreams, and visualize their business growth. With my help, they’re finally able to open the floodgates, let abundant creativity flow and find success doing something that speaks to their heart.
I truly want all this for you too so I’m handing you the A-Z blueprint. The one I teach to students so you too can finally unlock the courage to create fully and deeply, build a sustainable business with your gifts and big dreams and live the life you deserve to have.
