What would it be like to spend 8 weeks in community, nurturing your creativity & tending to your idea?

 

Welcome to Unstuck, a virtual creative incubator that brings together intimate groups of people just like you, who are stuck somewhere in the process of creating. Creating what? Anything! Everything! It could be an art piece, a writing practice, social content, a business plan, a prototype, a passion projectโ€ฆit could be for-your-eyes-only, your local community, a massive audience, or maybe youโ€™re not even sure yet! Whatever you want to create IS a creative project.

And wherever youโ€™re stuck (be it at start or somewhere in the messy middle), and for whatever reasons youโ€™re stuck (lack of a plan, unsure where to start, fear, procrastination, self-doubt, uncertainty, just to name a few), this space is for you.


 

The FORMAT:

When you join the Incubator, you join a community of other like-hearted creatives, makers, and entrepreneurs, ready to get unstuck. Over the course of 8 weeks, youโ€™ll have the opportunity to dedicate 50+ hours to your creativity and your idea, with a multi-faceted approach that guides you through the emotional and pragmatic parts of the creative process.

Core to the program are weekly group sessions and twice-weekly Labs. The 2-hour Group Sessions are a blend of education, coaching, creative direction, group discussion, personal reflection, and support. The twice-weekly 2-hour Labs are in place to create the conditions for flow state and incorporate the principles of Deep Work, Body Doubling, External Accountability, and the Science of Celebration. Between Sessions and Labs, youโ€™ll receive curated resources, have access to unlimited 1:1 Coaching Sessions, and be supported by your very own Accountability Buddy.

Your time in the Incubator culminates in a 20-minute Presentation of your work to your peersโ€”an essential ingredient in getting you Unstuck.

By committing to this process, you will gain clarity about what youโ€™re doing, why youโ€™re doing it, and how to do it, youโ€™ll move your idea forward, building momentum to keep you going well after you complete the Incubator, and you will understand and trust your unique creative process on a whole new level.

After the Incubator, youโ€™ll have access to Lab time and monthly Alumni Group Sessions until you complete your project, or the Incubator evolves into something new.

Whether youโ€™re a โ€œfuck yes!โ€ or curious to know more, schedule an exploratory 45-minute call with Janeen to talk about your idea, whatโ€™s got you stuck, and how the Incubator may be able to support you.

The INVESTMENT:

Unstuck is offered as a pay-what-supports-you tiered pricing model.
Inspired by the work of Alexis Cunningfolk and Simone Grace Seolโ€™s adaptation, you are asked to invest based on a personal assessment of your available resources. Payment plans available upon request.

Real talk, itโ€™s normal to feel resistance when you see a 4-figure price tag. I feel it every time I invest in a coach or coaching program. And Iโ€™m a coach! Assuming this investment would not jeopardize your safety or ability to meet your basic needs, I think itโ€™s helpful to ask yourself what becomes possible when you make this investment in yourself and your vision? Can you afford, financially and otherwise, to wait to pursue your idea? And if so, how long are you willing to wait?

Tier 1 | $1600 USD ($32-ish / hr)
You have access to basic needs such as food, housing, and childcare, though sometimes it may feel difficult.

You are able to put away money each month to be able to pay for the program, but the middle tier would mean you have to save for longer than 12 months.

Tier 2 | $2000 USD ($40-ish / hr)
You may be paying off debt or working to build savings, but you also have access to steady income.

Making this investment might mean you have to cut back on some discretionary spending, like going out to dinner, buying coffee, or going on a trip, but the sacrifice is short-term.

Tier 3 | $2400 USD ($48-ish / hr)
You have access to financial security, own property, or have personal savings. You are able to pay for "wants" and spend little time worrying about securing necessities. You have economic privilege and power in your community.

Making this investment may still feel big, but is financially possible.
