From Not Enough To Brave Enough
You CAN Do Hard Things
Bernice McDonald, Author, Professional Coach
Deep within you
lives a Creator,
a Visionary,
a Woman with Gifts
to give the world.
You feel her.
She's waiting to ...
-
​Write that book...
-
Advance that business...
-
Express herself in that art...
-
Put that plan into action...
It's not that you don't care enough.
It's not that you lack ability to take control.
​
But somewhere between your morning coffee and evening exhaustion, the world conspires to fill every crack of space that might have been yours...
​
And in those rare moments when time does open up? Something inevitably happens.
​
You freeze.
You check email instead.
You reorganize your desk.
You remember the laundry.
​
So, lovely lady,
what happens IF you keep living that same day
over & over,
year after year?
Your gifts remain wrapped...
​
The quiet ache deepens...
​
Your energy drains to others' priorities...
​
Regret silently builds...
Life Passes By Way Too Quickly
Every day, the world tells you to do
more with less.
Be everything to everyone.
Push through exhaustion.
Figure it all out alone.
It gets heavy.
"Just wake up earlier." As if sleep isn't precious fuel for a depleted tank.
"If you were serious, you'd make time." As if the duties of your life aren't real and pressing.
"Other women manage to DO IT ALL..." As if comparing your messy reality to someone else's highlight reel helps anything.
What if it's not about trying harder?
Here's the truth nobody's telling you.
Your inability to make progress isn't a character flaw. It's not about discipline or worthiness or being "enough."
It's about not having the space to
breathe deeply enough to clear your mind,
design your vision with intention,
and do the work that matters to you.
It's about not having two essential elements:
-
Creative space that honors your creative fire.
-
A place where both your struggle and your gifts are understood.
Without these, even the most talented, committed woman will find it difficult to bring her vision to life.
Introducing
Creative Spaces
A bi-weekly gathering designed for women who need dedicated, structured time to make progress on their meaningful work.
This is your sanctuary where you can
breathe freely, design your vision, and
do what brings you alive.​ For free.

-
The idea of stepping away from life's demands brings a sigh of relief

-
Your busy life makes it challenging to find uninterrupted focus time

You work better in the company of others who are also being productive

Bernice McDonald, Creator
"For months I'd been saying I wanted to work on my book, but never made tiem. After just two Creative Spaces sessions, I had written more than I had in a year.
That rhythm of breathe, design, do has changed everything for me. I finally have permission to show up for myself."
Melissa R., Creator
"I was skeptical about how much I could accomplish in 60 minutes of focused time, but it's amazing what happens when you're in a room of women all creating together. I've learned to breathe through my fear, design small next steps, and actually do them! The energy is magical, and I leave feeling both accomplished and inspired."
About Your Host
I'm Bernice McDonald and I help women move from "not enough" to "brave enough" to take action on the hard things in their lives.
I've walked through my own journey of fear and self-doubt. I've felt that soul-deep calling to create something meaningful while life demanded everything else first.
​
What I've learned is that courage isn't about becoming fearless - it's about discovering you can feel afraid and still take Tiny Brave Steps forward.
​
It's about creating a rhythm of life where you...
Breathe deeply enough to hear your own wisdom.
Design intentional next steps that honor your vision.
Do the brave work of bringing your gifts to life.
​
That's what Creative Spaces is all about.
