An 8-week identity-shifting sprint for creatives who are tired of "starting Monday," spiraling by Wednesday, and wondering why it's so damn hard to do what they say they want
without the burnout or 5-hour scroll-holes.
You Know Exactly What You Want to Do
You’ve had the thought a thousand times:
- “I should just email that client back.”
- “I’ll pitch the podcast tomorrow.”
- “Let me just finish tweaking this draft before I post it.”
But here’s what really happens:
You open your laptop…
You tell yourself you’ll start in five minutes…
And somehow it’s an hour later and you’ve reorganized your camera roll, watched a girl make soup on TikTok, and googled “can dogs get seasonal depression?” (answer: yes).
You promise yourself that next time will be different.
You write the neat little to-do list. You block out the magical 4-hour window that’s definitely going to appear this week.
But that window never comes.
The project still sits half-finished.
And you’re still watching other people post, publish, ship, while you keep tweaking, consuming, and thinking.
It’s not that you don’t care. It’s not that you’re not capable.
It’s not that you’re lazy.
Or don’t care.
It’s that something inside keeps slamming the brakes every time you try to go.
HERE'S THE TRUTH...
This isn’t a productivity problem. It’s a protective response.
You’ve already tried everything they told you to try:
- Time-blocking
- The “just 5 minutes” hack
- Productivity podcasts, self-help books, motivational YouTube deep dives
- More mindset work. More journaling. More therapy.
But none of it has actually worked.
Not in a lasting, “I can finally move” kind of way.
Because procrastination isn’t about productivity.
It’s about protection.
Your nervous system doesn’t see action as progress.
It sees it as a threat.
That pitch you’ve been avoiding? Your brain whispers, “What if they say no?”
That half-finished project? Your body says, “If I put this out there, people might see I’m not good enough.”
To your brain, starting = threat.
Finishing = exposure.
Action = danger.
So, instead of moving, you overthink, avoid, shut down, scroll, spiral, snack. Then beat yourself up for being stuck – and promise yourself you’ll do better tomorrow.
But this was never about trying harder. Or because you “don’t want it enough.”
It’s not about discipline, or routines, or willpower.
It’s about your relationship with action itself — mental, emotional, physical, and nervous system-deep.
And until you shift that, you’ll stay stuck in the same loop…no matter how many times you schedule a task in your calendar.
Here’s what happens when people shift their relationship with action…
"After week 2, I jumped right in and made things I've been putting off without focusing on the outcome as much. Grace has helped me get on a path that can only continue to gain momentum. It’s great I can trust the tools and myself."
Not having that feeling anymore of constantly being behind is one of the best feelings this program has given me. I am now very on top of things and I never thought I would get to this place. I am now able to make more per client because I have systematized a lot better. Absolutely DO IT. It's one of the best decisions I made."
Once your body believes it’s safe to start, try, and be seen…
Action becomes less about pressure – and more about trust.
Trust in your timing and creative flow.
Trust in yourself to follow through, even when it’s messy or slow.
That’s the muscle Messy Action builds.
Not by giving you another system to force yourself into, but by helping you rewrite the way your body, brain, and emotions relate to action itself.
The kind of trust that makes doing the thing feel safe enough to actually do.
Messy Action
An 8-week break-the-cycle sprint to help ambitious creatives who are tired of procrastinating, sick of self-sabotage, and ready to finally follow through.
This is not another time management system.
It’s a nervous system rewiring for people who know they’re capable, but can’t seem to follow through.
By the end of 8 weeks, you’ll be saying things like:
“Holy sh*t. I’m doing the thing.”
“I actually want to start right now.”
“I trust myself to follow through.”
You don’t need a new planner.
You need a calmer nervous system, clarity on your next steps, and a way to build self-trust through BOLD, messy action.
This sprint gives you all three.
"Since working with Grace, I've been able to build up my confidence in a way that feels authentic and sustainable. Grace's guidance helped me practice making mental shifts when I was going through the most stressful time in my work and personal life."
"Since going through the program, I can honestly say, it's been life-changing!! Grace has peeked into my mind to see my struggles with procrastination and helped me identify the causes and actions I need to take to overcome this. I no longer put off difficult decisions or fear how others might judge me. Without this program, I would have continued being a people pleaser, even though it didn’t make me happy. I'm so grateful I signed up."
How it Works: The Messy Action Framework
Messy Action is built around two core systems that work together to rewire how you relate to action.
1. THE
BREAKTHROUGH LOOP
(This is the identity shift that drives the behavior change)
Most people are stuck in what I call the Stuck Loop:
“I don’t feel worthy → so I don’t start → so I feel more shame → so I avoid → so I repeat.”
We interrupt that loop and replace it with the Breakthrough Loop:
Self-Worth → “I’m allowed to try and mess up.”
Self-Trust → “I show up for myself, even if it’s not perfect.”
Messy Action → “I move before I feel 100% ready.”
This becomes your new operating system. When action comes from a place of safety and self-permission, showing up stops feeling like a fight and starts feeling like something you can actually do.
2. MESSY ACTION METHOD
(These are the tools that build momentum week after week)
You’ll move through 4 practical stages:
Create Space
Quiet the mental noise, calm your system, and connect with what actually matters so you stop spinning in “what should I do?” paralysis.
Expose Thoughts
Use structured frameworks to surface and demolish every excuse and “what if” or “who am I to do this?” thought loses its power.
Regulate Emotions
Apply simple somatic tools to move through fear, shame, and anxiety you can open your laptop without immediately wanting to disassociate with a scroll of your phone.
Reprogram Beliefs
Use visualization and self-hypnosis to train your nervous system to feel safe taking action (your brain can’t tell the difference between imagined and real experiences).
These tools are rooted in neuroscience, nervous system regulation, behavioral psychology, and energetic practices, but taught in a way that’s simple, actionable, and creatively aligned.
How you'll ditch the procrastinator label and start taking Messy Action
Week 1:
Wake-Up Call
Reconnect to your priorities and get fired up for massive change.
- Discover why you’ve been stuck (spoiler: it’s not discipline).
- Start your simple morning ritual so you feel organized and know what to prioritize.
By Day 7, most students are shocked by how much quieter their mind feels.
Week 2
The Detox
Feel the urge to numb-scroll start to lose its grip.
- Learn how dopamine drives motivation, and how to stop using scrolling, snacking, and procrasto-cleaning to avoid discomfort.
- Lay the foundation for emotional regulation and real momentum.
By Day 3, most people report feeling “weirdly productive” without reaching for their phone.
Week 3:
Procrastination Break-up
Catch the fear before it runs the show… and take real action instead.
- Identify your procrastination triggers.
- Learn 3 simple tools to interrupt them in the moment:
- The Pause & Process Method
- Fear Release Protocol
- Emotional Freedom Technique.
This is usually when people message me: “I actually WANT to work on my project today — what is happening?!”
Week 4:
Fear, Exposed
Stop letting thoughts stall you, start moving without overthinking.
- Use my custom-built head trash elimination tool, “Cindy,” to poke holes in second-guessing loops.
- Dump your limiting beliefs, excuses, and “not ready” voices (Cindy can handle it).
By now, that “Who am I to do this?” voice is fading fast.
week 5:
Cutting off the Energetic Drains
Feel lighter, clearer, and worthy of following through.
- Use The Energy Audit System: resentfulness audit, forgiveness audit, and boundary work.
- Build genuine self-worth — a crucial piece in The Breakthrough Loop.
Most Week 5 grads say: “This is when I stopped feeling guilty about putting myself first.”
week 6:
Somatic Release
Expect one of your biggest “Ohhh… so that’s what I’ve been missing” moments.
- Drop into a 90-minute breathwork journey designed to dissolve emotional blocks.
- Finally access the insight you’ve been circling around.
This is where stuckness melts… from the inside out.
Week 7:
Messy Action, Baby!
Finally feel clear enough to just start… without forcing it.
- Ditch the over-researching, tweaking, and overthinking.
- Strengthen your intuition with The Flow State Framework so action feels guided, not pressured.
By Week 7, most people are creating instead of consuming (and loving every messy minute.)
Week 8:
The Integration
No more “I’ll start Monday.” You’ll just start.
- Review your wins and lock in your new patterns.
- Set aligned goals for what’s next with a Messy Action Scorecard to keep momentum going.
By graduation, you won’t just take messy action. You’ll trust yourself to keep going.
The proof is in the (video) puddings...
Jose
“I can manage my anxiety much better. Happiness doesn’t seem to be a destination anymore, it’s just something that happens more frequently.”
Shelly
“It’s probably the best decision that I made for myself and it’s something that reflects in my work and my income. It’s saved me 10 hours each week.”
Chris
“Work with Grace if you know you’re the bottleneck, if your business has potential but you’re stuck, and if you’re ready to finally get out of your own way and grow.”
Marvin
“I showed up and for the first time I don’t feel overwhelmed with the feeling of, “I don’t know what I’m doing” or “I don’t belong here. I’m enjoying myself, and I feel very relaxed and confident, even around people that are so much more experienced than I am, I just feel like I’m in it.”
Sabrina
“If you’re like me, a business owner feeling stuck, if you’re overwhelmed by indecision, imposter syndrome, or burnout, this program is for you. If you constantly feel like you need to learn more before taking action, this program will help you break through that mindset.”

Hey, I'm Grace
I went from serial procrastinator to coaching 1,600+ creatives out of the same spiral I used to live in.
Back then I would…
Rewrite emails 6 times before sending them.
Avoid tasks until the last possible second.
Tell myself I’d “start next Monday”… for months.
Collect planners, read self-help books, try every productivity hack — and still freeze.
What finally changed everything?
I stopped trying to “fix” my time management…
and started healing my relationship to action.
I realized I wasn’t avoiding tasks, I was avoiding feelings.
Shame. Fear. Not feeling “ready enough.”
And no planner or pomodoro timer could fix that.
So I built something that could.
Fast forward 5 years…
- Helped 1,600+ procrastinators finally follow through
- Built a 250K+ community across platforms
- Never send “Sorry this is late” emails
- Work 4-day weeks with zero burnout
- Ditch imposter syndrome + trust my intuition daily
And the exact framework that got me there?
It’s all inside Messy Action. Every tool, every framework, every breakthrough moment.
Ready to stop waiting and do this thing together?
After going through Messy Action
- You catch yourself reaching for your phone… and realize you don’t actually want to scroll. That urge to numb? It’s lost its grip. You’re using your time to create things that matter
- You're going to bed giddy and excited to tell your partner about how you’re made HUGE progress on a project you’ve been procrastinating for months
- You're shipping completed work off early (what, who me??) instead of needing a hard deadline panic to get you moving
- You write the pitch, send the email, publish the damn thing *without* rewriting it 8 times or asking 3 people if it's good enough
- You've got simple morning rituals that stick. Ones you actually like. And the noise in your head? Way quieter. You didn’t even have to recite a single mirror affirmation to get there.
The best part? You're not trying to be more disciplined. You're just not sabotaging yourself anymore.
Still wondering if Messy Action is right for you?
Let’s make sure it’s the perfect fit, shall we?
It's 100% a perfect fit for you if…
- You're a creative (entrepreneur, artist, freelancer, writer, content creator, or creative 9-5er) who has big ideas but procrastination, perfectionism, or comparison spirals keep derailing your momentum
- You know what you want to do (or at least have some clues) but keep waiting for the perfect 4-hour block that never comes to create a plan of action
- You identify as someone who has started "doing the work" but still feel like you're spinning your wheels
- You crave action that feels aligned and want tools that help you build trust in yourself, not just more “discipline.”
- You’re open to somatic work, intuition, and a little bit of spiritual language (in a grounded, practical way)
It's likely NOT a match for you if...
- You’re in a season of life where even 30 focused minutes a day feels completely unrealistic
- You have no interest in creative expression (art, writing, content, film, entrepreneurship, etc.) and don’t feel drawn to that world at all
- You're looking for a quick-fix productivity hack or time–blocking template (not deep inner work or nervous system tools)
- You're not open to feeling discomfort right now, experimenting with new approaches, or stretching your comfort zone to grow
- You aren't ready to be honest with yourself about what's not working (no judgement, sometimes it’s just not the right time)
Still on the fence? Let’s tackle your FAQs.
Kickoff Call: September 16.
Bonus “Week 0”: Starts the week before
You’ll get a pre-sprint challenge to help you knock out those tasks you’ve been avoiding for months, so you start the program with some momentum.
This is exactly what we’re here to address., but I totally get it’s a chicken-and-egg situation.
Instead of handing you pre-recorded videos that will collect dust in your inbox, I teach the tools live, so you’re supported and in motion from Day 1.
Ask yourself this: Can I show up to a weekly live call and try one thing differently?
If yes, then yes , you can do this. And it will work.
Therapy gives you insight. Messy Action gives you traction.
You’ve probably done the work to understand your patterns. You’ve read the books. You’ve named your trauma. But there’s still a gap between knowing what’s going on… and doing the things that matter to you. That’s the gap this program closes.
Messy Action helps you:
- Lower the anxiety causing your procrastination
- Rewire your relationship to failure so that you can take consistent messy action
- Rebuild self-trust now that you can follow through without freezing
The tools are practical, emotional, and somatic — and they’re designed for creatives who need a blend of structure and freedom to actually follow through.
This isn’t more mindset fluff or time management theory. It’s nervous system retraining, belief reprogramming, and emotional momentum all stacked into an 8-week sprint that helps you finally move like the version of yourself you know is in there.
It’s built for creatives who need structure AND flow.
Replays are posted within 24 hours, and you can still ask Grace questions in the Telegram group anytime. Life happens – you won’t fall behind.
Plus, you’ll have lifetime access to every lesson and tool, so you can revisit as often as you need.
Honestly, I have no idea. This is the first round of Messy Action, and while I’ve run group programs before, this one is new, and I’m going all in. If I do offer it again, it’ll likely be at a higher price or with less live support.
So if it’s calling to you now, this is the moment to jump in.
Great question.
Messy Action is an 8-week sprint. It’s faster-paced, a lower investment, and designed specifically for creatives who want deep change in a shorter timeframe.
Today Not Tomorrow (TNT) is a 6-month program (currently closed) with a broader focus, and isn’t tailored to creative brains the way Messy Action is.
Messy Action is an 8-week intensive sprint designed specifically for creatives who want deep change fast. TNT is a 6-month journey at a more relaxed pace for any background.
Messy Action is for people who’ve already done foundational work (whether in my programs, therapy, or elsewhere) and are ready to go deeper. It includes new components I don’t cover much in TNT:
- Implementing a specific morning routine to discover misalignments and fears
- Stronger focus on intuition building
- Dopamine detox protocols
- Somatic breathwork journey
- New fear-processing tool I’ve developed
If you’re waiting for TNT to reopen and you know you want long-term coaching outside the creative space, that might be a better fit.
But if you want momentum now, with tools that meet you exactly where you’re at, Messy Action is your move.
Focus Calls are structured coworking sessions where we tackle the stuff you’ve been avoiding.
You’ll show up, set a clear goal, go heads-down in deep focus, then check in for accountability.
They’re optional, but highly recommended. They’ll become your secret weapon for actually finishing things.
Times (EST):
Monday @ 3 PM
Tuesday @ 6 AM
Wednesday @ 11:30 AM
Thursday @ 6 AM
Yes. And in many ways, this program is especially helpful for creative, neurodivergent minds.
Whether you’re formally diagnosed or just relate to the patterns, Messy Action is built for brains that struggle with:
– Overwhelm and urgency-seeking
– Emotional dysregulation and avoidance
– Perfectionism, overthinking, and mental noise
You won’t be forced into rigid systems or unrealistic routines.
Instead, you’ll build intuitive rituals that feel supportive – not punishing – and learn tools to soothe the anxiety loops and inner pressure that fuel procrastination.
This isn’t about “fixing” your brain.
It’s about working with it, compassionately and effectively.
Yep, it’s for life baby! You can keep the assets forever (this work is designed to STICK, but sometimes it’s nice to revisit your favorite ‘aha’ moments)
It’s me (Grace) teaching every live lesson, coaching session, and answering your questions inside the Telegram group with you.
No mystery coaches, assistants or bots pretending to be me.
That said, a few trusted team members will help facilitate extra Focus Hour calls, so you have more time options for support and accountability.
Permission to be direct (don’t hire me if you want a sugar-coater) – you’re probably already spending 10–20 hours a week procrastinating, overthinking, or spiraling.
This program helps you reclaim that time.
What you’ll need from your schedule:
– 30 minutes each morning for mindset/emotional work + daily planning (this replaces endless scrolling)
– 75 minutes weekly for live calls (or watch replays)
– Optional Focus Calls for accountability (but these help you actually finish your to-dos)
Think of it like a workout. Yes, it takes time, but it gives you back energy, clarity, and real momentum.
If you’re ready to break the cycle, you have time for this.
All who come into the program (and show up) will leave with the ability to:
- Get their work done with more ease
- A deeper sense of self-trust (confidence you’ll show up for your goals)
- A waaay dialed down inner critic
I can’t promise you will never catch yourself avoiding something again, it’s just going to be WAY less frequent.
When it does happen, you’ll have the tools and know-how to get over it (as opposed to not being in control of your time management).
If you are a person who like tracking progress (I see you!) we’ve got a Messy Action Scorecard.
Think: Tangible actions that you complete and crossout throughout the program which WILL take you into a version of yourself who procrastinates less and takes confident action.
If you’re like “meh… I don’t like tracking” this is by no means necessary. Showing up alone will get ya the results.
This isn’t some 500-person “see you never” course. My nervous system could never 🤣
While I can’t give you an exact number (this is the first round of Messy Action), I can promise this: You’ll get direct support from me (Grace). I personally answer questions in live calls and the Telegram chat.
If you need help, you’ll get it. Period.
This is a high-touch, live experience, not a passive course.
Super fair question!
You can try Messy Action risk-free for 14 days. If you show up, try the tools, and still don’t feel a shift, I’ll refund your full investment.
Here’s what that looks like:
– Attend (or watch replays of) the first 2 masterclasses
– Complete your Messy Action Scorecard
– Join at least 3 Focus Hour calls
If you’ve done that and it’s still not a fit, just email by September 24 and I’ll process your full refund, no questions.
Why the condition? Because this only works if you do the work.
And I want to make damn sure your brain doesn’t use “well, I can always get a refund” as a reason to stay stuck.
Great question. Here’s the breakdown:
Weekly Live Teaching Calls (Core Program):
These are the main events.
Once a week, we meet live for a 75-minute session where I teach you a powerful tool, guide you through implementing it in real time, and open the floor for Q&A and laser coaching.
Time:
Tuesdays at 11:00 AM EST (Sept 16, Sept 23, Sept 30, Oct 7, Oct 14, Oct 21, Oct 28, Nov 4)
Focus Hour Calls (optional but magic):
These are coworking-style sessions designed to help you do the thing you’ve been avoiding.
You’ll set a goal, go heads-down in deep focus, and check in at the end for accountability. It’s not teaching, it’s traction.
The goal is to eventually not need accountability to follow through, but until you get there, these calls help you build trust and momentum.
Times (EST):
Monday @ 3:00 PM
Tuesday @ 6:00 AM
Wednesday @ 11:30 AM
Thursday @ 6:00 AM
Here's The Truth
You’ve spent long enough thinking about the thing.
Talking about the thing.
Avoiding the thing.
This is your moment to finally do it…
whatever it is you’ve been daydreaming about.
With support.
With structure.
With tools that actually work (instead of leaving you more frustrated than when you started).
Messy Action could be your turning point.
The moment you stop waiting for the “perfect time” and start trusting yourself to show up…even when it’s messy, imperfect, or uncertain.
The moment your nervous system starts to exhale and your nervous brain starts to feel safe taking bold steps toward “that thing”.
And this time?
You don’t quit halfway.
You follow through.
