Lunch with the writer you used to be
A 2-hour workshop to rediscover your love of writing and make space for Creative Practice in your life again
You’ve lived a life of purpose, structure, and productivity. But somewhere along the way, your Expressive self got quiet.
The pages you once dreamed of writing were shelved. The voice inside you that used to hum with possibility went silent. The little girl who dreamed of being a writer faded into memory.
This workshop is your invitation to break through that quiet, to sit with your deeper self again, and to move from feeling unseen to stepping confidently back into your creative life.
You’ll Walk Away With
Clarity on your next writing project — whether it’s an essay, memoir piece, or a series of stories.
A mini-outline or plan you can actually take home and act on.
Tools to quiet the inner critic and reconnect with your authentic voice.
Renewed creative momentum you’ll feel in your bones.
New connections with others who understand what it’s like to be creatively lost and committed to getting back to the page.
Why This Workshop Matters
Because the writer you used to be is still dormant inside you, waiting, capable, and ready.
But after years of corporate roles, mixed priorities, and “adulting,” your voice may feel distant.
It’s about coming home to yourself, reclaiming what was dormant, and beginning again in a room full of empathy and intention.
Imagine your life now with a thriving creative practice, that pride that comes with bringing your ideas to life, and those mornings where you send your friends a link to your newly published piece.

Led by Paulette Perhach, a coach and essayist pieces in The New York Times, Elle, and Marie Claire, who ran screaming from a corporate job and built a life around her creativity.
A chance to REWRITE YOUR
STORY
Reconnect with your voice, rewrite old beliefs, and give your story a second act. You'll leave with direction, structure, and energy for what’s next.

MOMENTUM

SPACE TO BE
SEEN
Limited seats mean real connection. You'll be in a room with others who get it, fellow writers who’ve achieved so much, but still feel something important is missing.
A CLEAR
NEXT MOVE
Walk away with a plan, not just inspiration. Whether it’s starting a newsletter, finishing a memoir, or simply writing again for yourself, you’ll know what’s next.
