EVER HEARD THESE VOICES?

EVER HEARD THESE VOICES?
I'm great at getting things started but absolute garbage at follow through and finishing my work.
What's the point of making things at all? Nothing ever goes anywhere.
I want to be more creative with my kids and encourage their creativity.
Everything I make feels like a copy of something else. What's my voice? What's my point of view?
I know I need to put myself out there but I am terrified of rejection or, even worse. being ignored.
I lead a team of creatives but I don't know how to relate to them at all.
I've gotta get out of this job.
I want to make my work more visible to the world.
Am I a sell out? I'm a sell out. I have a job for financial security and am not brave enough to go after my art full throttle.
When I hit a creative block I get paralyzed and frustrated to the point of bailing on the work.
I don't know if I'm a creative person but I want to be.

“Joshua guides his clients with the wisdom of an old guy (he’s pretty young), the tenderness of an adoring father, the artistry of a carpenter and the strong grip of a poet. He’s lived life, and wants to share what he’s learned along the way, just like a good creative coach should.”

"Working with Joshua over the years has been nothing short of profound. He has a rare gift for revealing the heart of the matter, opening up the big, necessary questions, and creating space for all complex layers of truth to emerge. The weeds of the journey weave together into clarity and a new composition. Joshua is a sage, a rare asset, and a golden human being. To say that others can benefit from his counsel is an understatement."

"Joshua reads between the lines without making you feel read. I often leave conversations with fresh perspectives and language. But it’s not guru-jargon; I leave our time together with language and direction that are mine, not borrowed. He helps me find my center and makes me feel like I can live from it."

I made this website using Framer from a template I gutted and
reworked. I got in over my head per usual but I'm glad I
spent the time to make it.
