6 months of taking your projects off the someday pile, doing the things that actually matter, with compassionate accountability, flexible structure and a community of likeminded women.

Except carving out the time and getting down to creating isn’t exactly simple.
As curious, multi-passionate, creatives, actually getting down to the act of creating - or finishing our projects - can often feel like doing quantum physics while standing on our heads in a supermarket at rush hour.
And when we do think about carving out the time, our dreamshitter shows up loud and proud, with some absolute bullshit disguised as truth. (You know the drill: what about other people’s needs? What about all the other shit you have to do? What’s the point it’s not even good in the first place/you never finish what you start? Blah fucking blah).
And by that time, the moment has passed, the time is up and the frustration grows.
Fuck that.
When we create, and have time to create, we are happier, it’s as simple as that.
And here’s the added fuckery and the ultimate irony.
Your inner dreamshitter will also give you a hard time about NOT creating! You literally can’t win.
So it’s time to take the side door.
Or as Kacey Musgraves would put it:
“You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't, so you might as well just do whatever you want.”
Introducing the Women’s
Creativity Circle
A six month group coaching program where you take your projects off the someday pile, and do the things that actually matter, with compassionate accountability*, flexible structure and a fabulous community of likeminded women.
* No tough love, no drill sergeants, no shame. Instead, a coach that meets you where you exactly where you are and gets creative about how you can take action, and pushes back against your inner dreamshitter.
“I have met peeps from all over doing all kinds of interesting things and we keep each other going. We are like a motley band of sailors led by an experienced captain who ensures all are safe, fed, loved and heading in their right directions. Meg leads with love, compassion, fierceness when needed (and always asking permission first). Don't hesitate for a second if the vibe intrigues - it's life changing.”
SAGE WHEELER
While it can be a struggle to overcome the self-doubt, and get out of your own head and carve out the time, it is absolutely possible.
And when you do? Fuck me, things feel better.
And when you do it with your people - likeminded, big hearted, curious women - who meet you exactly as you are and bring out the best in you? With external scaffolding and accountability that feels more like a treat than a demand? MAGIC.
You start to feel more like yourself, you feel more connected - to your creativity, to your life, to the world. The seething resentment ebbs away, your confidence starts to flourish and you’re not just fucking doing the thing, you’re enjoying doing the thing!
And here’s the fabulous bit: we do it without abandoning everyone you love, without quitting your life and moving to a cabin in the woods, or attending a painting retreat on a beach in Bali with sand up your hoo-ha.
AND without having to do morning pages every single day - ideally at exactly 5.24am. (Yep, I’m going there, Julia Cameron!)
Hi, I’m Meg. I’m a coach, writer and podcaster, and my superpower is bringing together kind, big hearted, friendly, creative, multi-passionate, wise women and helping them take their dreams off the someday pile.
My twelve years of working with this wonderful community of multi-passionate, compassionate, wise women has taught me that around here we all tend to have some things in common:
We want to maintain momentum and we want to finish things. We want to build confidence against our inner dreamshitters and the external dreamshitters around us. And we want to find our people; the people who don’t look at us weird for having a thousand different projects on the go.
For the past six years I’ve been running group programs and I am continually awed by the kindness, the generosity, the collective wisdom and just the power of a community of like-minded women. I’ve seen time and time again that when you have a community of like-minded women, carving out time together, it’s fucking magic.
I’m an absolute nerd when it comes to figuring out how we can get our projects done as multi-passionates. I’ve learned how to work with my brain rather than against it, and after 1,500+ podcast episodes, thousands of coaching sessions and 12 years of self-employment, I’m proof that you can create consistently, even with a chaotic ADHD brain!
I’ve been overwhelmed with the acceptance, encouragement, and support I’ve received from Meg and the other members. Meg’s expertly facilitated sessions and coaching has enabled me to learn new ideas, prioritise time for my well-being, be inspired by the experiences and projects shared by other members, and achieve so much more than I ever imagined possible. I feel stronger to face what I need to do and know that I have wonderful women cheering me on. I learnt so much from these amazing women. The openness and willingness to share was just awesome.”

here’s how it works!
The Women’s Creativity Circle is a six month online group coaching program. You’ll be working alongside a fabulous group of creative women from all over the world with. We’ll gather to make things, make progress on our projects and creatively work our way through any obstacles that get in the way.
During our six months together, we have two weekly co-working sessions (times below) and we gather once a month in a smaller group for an accountability circle, to set intentions, review progress, get unstuck and celebrate our wins!
Twice weekly
co-working sessions
to actually work on your projects
We come together twice a week in a dedicated space to carve out the time to work on our projects. It’s a win-win: time for deep work, minus the isolation! One of the reasons co-working is SO good at getting us to work on our own stuff, is because it’s much easier to tend to creative projects when there’s a fixed date in the diary. It’s a lot harder to wiggle out of, and we can legitimately tell loved ones we’re busy; it’s like a pre-made boundary.
Monthly accountability circle
to keep you on track
Once a month you’ll gather with your smaller coaching group to check in with your creative projects, set intentions, review progress and celebrate wins! This is a great time for getting unstuck, getting clarity on what you’ll be working on in the co-working sessions and having accountability to show up and do the work! While we will be making significant progress, we’ll also be having fun too!
“I'm not really a joiner of things - clubs, communities, parties! - I feel awkward, or that I have to mask, or put in too much effort and I'm tired afterwards. Meg hosts and holds spaces beautifully and clearly, so we as members are free and supported to be and think and share and support each other. She cares and believes in each of us and what we're trying to do, and that spreads - I believe in my ability more than I did when I started, and I care about and believe in all the other women here too.”

the magic of rebel rousers co-working:
“I love the compassionate accountability that comes with the co-working sessions. It’s perfect for people who like the deep focus of solo working, but who also like the company and accountability that comes from being in an online community space. As someone who lives with chronic fatigue, I love co-working as I can have both companionship and the quiet I need to focus - having my cake and eating it!”
ZENA KAMASH
“Co-working helps me to feel better about myself, makes me feel less lonely, nicer to myself and be more productive. It’s strange at first and very simple concept but then you just get on with it with lovely people and it soon becomes part of your working week that you look forward to. Co-working gave me a a really good idea of what was feasible to ask of myself in an hour and also I felt really flipping good about myself!!”
BEX CAMPEY
“I find co-working supportive and low-pressure. It gives me a compassionate container to do things I don’t make time for, or that I find hard to start or finish. Being with others in a no-pressure and warm environment makes it much easier to sit down and start. It’s a highlight of my day!”

how past clients have described my past rebel programmes:
Thank you, Meg for the loveliest, most supportive half year huddle I’ve ever been to! It was the sweetest group— I loved how you combined our live sharing with the side chats, it was very intimate and comfortable and low key. I loved all of your questions, and most especially your strong support and encouragement for us throughout. I really felt like, ultimately you were reminding us to truly love ourselves. It was just what I needed— thank you!
SHIUAN BUTLER
“I've never felt part of something that suits me so well, that I have actively wanted to stay a part of throughout, rather than drifting away, losing interest or motivation.”

What’s waiting for you on the other side of the women’s creativity circle:
The joy, the confidence and the feeling fucking good about yourself that comes with having spent time on your own stuff, with actual things to show for it.
Stronger muscles when it comes to being visible, putting yourself out there, setting boundaries and prioritising your own needs.
A community of likeminded women who care, who actually actually GET - and love - your projects and dreams, who bring out the best in you, and are invested in your journey.
A regular and dare I say it, consistent creative practice, with dedicated time and space carved out in the calendar just for you. (Many of the women I work with find it much easier to tend to their creative projects when there’s a fixed date in the diary and they can legitimately tell loved ones they’re busy).
A much better and more compassionate idea of what is feasible to ask of yourself and how much you can achieve in a certain amount of time.
Compassionate accountability to actually work on your projects and tend to your creativity. No tough love, no drill sergeants, no shame, just a group of women who meet you exactly where you are, and a coach that pushes back against your inner dreamshitter.
A safe place where you’re part of a community, where people meet you exactly where you’re at, and where you can go at your own pace.
Friendships that last long past the program, with women who are real about their struggles and still try and do what calls them.

FAQs
FAQS
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I BOOK?
After you book, you'll be taken straight to the Women’s Creativity Circle Dashboard. There you’ll find some more information about what to expect, and some next steps. You’ll also receive an email with a link to choose the smaller accountability group which fits your calendar best! Once you’ve chosen your group, you’ll be added to your specific group’s Dashboard, which will contain more specific dates/times.
WHAT IF I’M IN A DIFFERENT TIME ZONE FROM THE UK?
I’ve worked with women all across the world, and am used to creating a schedule that suits different people in different time zones, although I can’t guarantee everyone will be able to make everything, I do tailor the times available and vary the days to make sure people have a better chance of attending. For the Circle, I’ve introduced three separate accountability groups that are scheduled at times aimed to make sure that there is at least one of those groups you’ll be able to attend in your timezone. You’ll be invited to choose which group works best for you after booking. Co-working will also be spread between AM + PM, and you’re able to attend both, or just the session that works best for your timezone. Click here to jump to the schedule.
WHAT IS THE SCHEDULE?
The programme kicks off on Tuesday May 5th. The co-working times vary between early afternoon and evening for the UK and early morning and mid-afternoon for EST. Here’s the schedule for the six months:
Co-working happens every:
Tuesdays 6.30-8.30pm UK /1.30pm- 3.30pm New York
Thursdays 1pm-3pm UK/ 8am- 10am New York
Smaller group accountability circles meet once a month* on a:

Saturday 6.30pm-8.30pm / 1.30pm-3.30pm New York
*For the smaller groups, you will choose one of the times, and you lock into your smaller group at the start of the program so you really get to know and bond with your small group and can become each other’s best cheerleaders! There will be a maximum of 8-10 people in the smaller group accountability circles to maintain intimacy and make sure everyone gets their time! Please note, these are first come, first served, and will not be able to be swapped between.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO JOIN?
The Women’s Creativity Circle is £330 in total, and most people choose to pay via payment plan. You can either choose to pay in full prior to starting the program, or via a payment plan of 6 equal payments of £55 which come out the same day you sign up each month. Signing up to pay by a payment plan is committing to pay the full amount.
HOW DOES THE PAYMENT PLAN WORK?
The payment plan divides the total cost (£330) into 6 equal payments of £55. The first payment will be made on the day of booking your spot and the remaining payments will be made on the same date for the remaining 5 payments. Signing up to pay by a payment plan is committing to pay the full amount.
I WANT TO JOIN BUT I’M A BIT NERVOUS/AN INTROVERT, IS THIS FOR ME?
A lot of us around here are friendly introverts, so join the club! I’ve been working with women for 12 years and running groups for 6+ years and I pride myself in my ability to create spaces that feel safe, where there’s no pressure to perform and you’re invited to come as you are. There will be no spontaneous breakout rooms, and you’re welcome to turn your camera on/off.
WHAT KIND OF CREATIVE PROJECTS COULD I BRING? WHAT IF I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M GOING TO WORK ON?
One of my favourite things about the communities I run is just how eclectic everyone is! We’ll be coming from different parts of the world, with different circumstances and situations, and with similar values and intentions!
You can bring any creative project of your choice! You might be working on finishing your memoir, starting an EP, re-connecting with your creativity and dipping your toes into different mediums, you might be starting to write fiction, you might be working on starting a creative business, or you might be wanting to explore your creativity for the first time. Or a million other things! Rest assured that you’ll be in excellent company wherever you are on your creative journey!
And if you’re not sure what you’ll be working on, you’re also in the right place! During our kick off call there will be time to clarify what you do (and don’t) want to work on, and if your aim of the six months is to simply explore your own creative identity, this is the perfect place for it, too!
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE WOMEN’S CREATIVITY CIRCLE?
To paint a picture of what to expect, here’s more about my approach and how I work, and here’s what some of my past clients have said about working with me and our time together!
DO I HAVE TO MAKE IT TO EVERY CO-WORKING SESSION?
Not at all, though attending at least one a week will be a great way of building momentum, forming new friendships and staying in touch! You're also more than welcome to join both or drop in when you can - you don’t have to stay for the whole thing!
WHAT IF I CAN’T MAKE AN ACCOUNTABILITY SESSION?
The accountability groups will be recorded, so you’ll be able to catch up on what everyone else has planned. You’re also more than welcome to email me you updates and progress!
I’M NOT SURE IF IT’S FOR ME, OR IF I’M A GOOD FIT.
I completely get it, I always have a bunch more questions and I get that investing in something just for you can be a bit daunting. You can reach me via email: support [at] therebelrousers.com and I’ll be honest and help you figure out if its a good fit for you! If the Circle feels more stressful than delightful, or you’re in crisis, skip it this time.
