About

In stressful times it’s easy to lose track of who you really are. If you’re at all like me, when external pressures build I stop feeling creative, and I don’t feel like I have the time to comfort myself or do good self-care.

I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. It is normal to sometimes feel lost, scared, or frustrated. It is normal to want to do something but not know what to do.

You don’t have to go it alone. A little bit of guidance and community can go a long way to helping you get back on track.

Join me and other seekers for 31 days of creativity, comfort, and care, so you can rediscover your own brilliance, become more comfortable, and take better care of yourself.

Who am I? My name is Laura Packer. I’m a coach, storyteller, writer, and consultant. I’ve spent my entire working life helping people tap into their creativity, building comforting and safe environments, and guiding seekers to develop sustainable self-care practices. I believe everyone has something special to offer, but we can’t pursue it until we know we are nourished, comforted, and cared for. This program is my offering to the world to help everyone be who they want to be in the healthiest ways possible.

I developed 31 days of creativity, comfort and care so more people can benefit from my work at a lower cost, and so I can share what I’ve learned with the world. My friend and coaching client Ruth, a teacher, mom of two, and jewelry artist was actually the one who suggested I launch this program. She said my ideas and support helped her find footing in a really busy life, and asked if I could find a way to package it so more people could access this work. I am very grateful for her suggestion.

Together we will explore creativity and rest, comfort for ourself and others, and what radical self-care means for each of us. Once you sign up you’ll get 31 days of emails with a daily suggestion to either spark creativity, comfort yourself and others, or take care of yourself in profound and effective ways. You’ll also get a daily extra that might be stories, poems, images, links to resources, or something silly for a smile. A typical email will include one of the following:

• Creativity prompts may be a new way to look at the world, a writing prompt, a gentle challenge to try something new (or old! When did you last color with crayons?), or something else to help you access your own creative self;
  or
• Comfort suggestions such as a question to help you find comfort, a thought to help you discern what you or another might need in the moment, or an invitation to sink deeper into the present moment and find comfort where you are;
  or
• Care guidance and offerings include meditations, grounding suggestions, some hints for specific kinds of care, or a useful story for you or another;
  and
• A daily extra to make you smile or give you a bonus resource.

You decide how much or little you want to do, there is no judgement or requirement to do anything. It’s up to you and you keep the emails forever.

If you sign up for bonus features you’ll also have access to monthly pathfinding calls, a 40+ page workbook available nowhere else, and more.

Once you sign you you’ll get access to a private Facebook community where you can share your journey with fellow travelers and find extra resources not available elsewhere. This group is a private, non-judgmental space where you can safely share your thoughts and get support.

You’ll meet people from around the world who are committed to bringing more creativity into their lives, understand that comfort is necessary and important, and know that self care might be a bubble bath, a good cry, a kick-boxing session, or something new and radical. Each person is at their own place in 31 days–some are just starting out and some finished months ago–and everyone is welcome.

If you’ve read this far then you’re probably wondering if 31 days is really for you. Let me tell you about past participants Ann and Ken who joined 31 days in mid-2020. Ann is a self-employed artist while Ken is an electrical engineer. They both love their work but it can sometimes be all-consuming and they felt as if there wasn’t much room for their relationship let alone time for personal growth. All of this was compounded by their efforts to be COVID-safe. They signed up for 31 days of creativity, comfort, and care because they wanted something that wasn’t a huge time commitment that they could do together yet would still help them grow as individuals. By the time they were done, Ken discovered a creative streak he didn’t know he had while Ann reconnected with her creative passion. They learned how to comfort themselves and how to communicate their needs for comfort to each other. Finally, they each discovered new tools for self-care and were able to support each other more effectively.

While 31 days is not a couples’ therapy program and is designed for individuals, their powerful shared experience helped convince me that I needed to open this for more people.

While I can’t predict what you’ll get out of 31 days, I do know it’s been powerful, effective, and fun for the people who stick with it. If you have questions about how this may work for you, please feel free to send me an email.
