a 3 month adventure in building a more joyful and creative life, with a fun, vibrant and supportive community!
You have the Pinterest boards full of projects you'd love to get around to, and you quite like the idea of living a life that 'sparks joy' (even though sometimes you roll your eyes).
Yet, life sometimes feels like one big fucking to-do list.
With tasks breeding like rabbits and joy disappearing like socks in the dryer.
There's so much pressure to squeeze every productive minute out of the day, and even though you'd love a more joyful and creative life, it can feel like YET another thing to do.
And let's face it: collectively, we've had one fucker of a couple of years, and I think I speak for all of us when I say WE'RE TIRED, and something needs to change.
But here's the thing:
There's only so much point in working so hard, if you never enjoy the fruit.
It's okay spending all this energy planting all the seeds and doing the work, but if you don't stop to see they've grown, you miss the ripe period and end up with a bunch of mouldy, leaking strawberries on the ground.
And well, that's a bit shit.
At some point, we have to do something differently, so this summer, I'm calling bullshit and:
We’re starting a Joyful Rebellion, And we’re eating the fucking fruit!
Introducing
the joyful rebellion season pass!
3 MONTHS of adding magic to your everyday life, bringing joy back into the equation, and doing things differently.
Joyful Rebellion is a curated experience for creative and multi-passionate women who want to get back in touch with their creativity, bring more joy into their lives and step off the hamster wheel of only doing productive things.
Less shame, more sparkle!
Through a combination of workshops, creative sessions, get shit done days, a fabulous 30 day sprint and a make + moan session, over the summer, we’ll be regularly gathering together to bring some more joy, kindness and creativity back into your life!
It can be so damn hard to set aside time for ourselves, let alone show up for it.
So during the 3 months, you’ll have dedicated spaces, practical tools, me as your coach and a fabulous group of new friends to support you and keep you lovingly accountable.
joyful rebellion includes:
(You can find out more about exactly what each of these are by jumping to this part of the page!)
plus!
💻 A Joyful Rebellion hub to easily access replays and resources.
💬 A Whatsapp group to keep updated between sessions, cheer each other on, and toot our horns!
💃 Lifetime access to The Rebel Social!
🙌 Whatever else I create during the 3 months! (excluding 1:1 coaching, One Woman Band Club, The Rebel Creators and physical products!)
“Isolation is the dream-killer, not your attitude.” — Barbara Sher
so, what is a season pass?
Think of the season pass as a summer camp!
For the next 3 months, I’m doing a deep dive into how we can add more joy and creativity into our lives. By getting the season pass, you get access to everything I make in that time!
You get access to the whole programme of events (see below!), and you get an intensive, immersive experience that allows for inspiration and meaningful and lasting change while life happens.
It’s a space where we’ll really look at how we can tangibly and sustainably create a more joyful and creative life, test and try things, and really put things into practice, and tweak as we go.
All while having support from me as your coach, and a group of like-minded fabulous women who will delight in your own joy as much as their own!
ALL THE DETAILS
what’s on during the joyful rebellion season pass?
Pssst! You don’t have to be able to make everything! Pick and mix what works for you :)
joyful rebellion kick-off call!
We’ll start Joyful Rebellion with a kick-off call, where you’ll get to know your fellow rebels! We’ll share a bit about ourselves (it won’t be as awkward as it sounds) and I’ll invite you to share what you’d love to get out of our 3 months together, which will help me tailor the season pass specifically to the group :)
HAPPENING IN JUNE!
The joy book club!
Every season pass I like to run a book club based on the main themes that we're focusing on. But this time, I thought we'd do it a bit differently. Let's face it, we don't need anything else to beat ourselves up about, and my goodness, I don't think any of us need another book to add to the pile during the summer!
So, think of the Joy Club as the best parts of a book club, without the book! Some of The Joy Club meetings will have guided activities you're invited to join in (creating a Joy collage, and a Pick Me Up Box), and others we'll be working on our projects and having a good natter!
We’ll have 4 x 90-minute Joy Club Sessions throughout the season pass.
4 CALLS THROUGHOUT THE SEASON PASS, STARTING IN JUNE!
Joyful Everyday Workshop
We kick off the Joyful Everyday Sprint with a workshop all about finding ways to add more joy to your everyday and magic to the mundane. We'll look at what each of us need more of in our lives, and find joyful ways to help us get there!
This will kick off our Joyful Everyday Sprint. (Read more below!)
HAPPENING IN JUNE!
Joyful Everyday Sprint
Both a way to notice the joy you already have in your life and a way to build more joy in your life, we’re gonna do a 30-day community challenge, where each day we take either take notice or do one thing to bring more joy into our lives.
This kicks off towards the beginning of Joyful Rebellion and is a brilliant way to get to know your fellow joyful rebels and give yourself a real boost!
Here’s how it works.
1.JOYFUL EVERYDAY WORKSHOP
We kick off the sprint with a workshop all about finding ways to add more joy to your everyday and magic to the mundane. We'll look at what each of us needs more of in our lives and find a joyful way to help us get there!

Meet your accountability buddies! We’ll have a Joyful Everyday Whatsapp group where we’ll each post each day during the 30 days to share our moments of joy, support each other and cheer each other on!

At the mid-way checkpoint, we’ll have a live Q&A call to help you if you’re feeling stuck, celebrate your joys and give you an extra boost of motivation!
4. CELEBRATION CALL
On Day 30, we’ll gather again as a community to celebrate our joys and look at sustainable ways to continue to create a joyful everyday life.
HAPPENING IN JUNE!
creating space get shit done day!
There are so many reasons we struggle to create and have joy time, and one of the biggest is because we don’t have the space, either literally or figuratively!
We’re gonna use this time to create or clear a dedicated space for your projects and joy, so there’s minimal creative resistance and one less reason not to get stuck in!
You, me and a group of like-minded women will spend a day together co-working and clearing the path. At the beginning of the day, you set out our goals and share a bit about your research. Then we’ll get to it in dedicated time chunks throughout the day! This is perfect way to start prioritising joy and creativity in your life.
HAPPENING IN JUNE!
Make & moan
I am not about the toxic positivity bullshit, so while we're focusing on joy and creativity for this season, I want us to have time to share the shit and have a pity party if needed. So come along, bring what you're working on, and let your shit hang out.
If we haven't got anything to moan about, I've got some fun prompts up my sleeve!
HAPPENING IN JULY!
trying something new get shit done day!
As multi-passionates, there are always so many things we want to try. Some of them are brand new, and others are projects or kits or tools we’ve had in the back of the cupboard for a while and never got around to! Sometimes it can be intimidating to get started, or it feels impossible to find the time. Our Try Something New Get Shit Done Day is here to help, and we’re gonna try things out together :)
At the beginning of the day we’ll share our various projects (and inevitably get inspired!), get stuck in using dedicated time chunks and then we’ll get started together and have a bit of a show and tell at the end of the day!
HAPPENING IN JULY!
creative self-care workshop
Creative Self-Care is a 2-hour workshop where we’re going to explore and develop some joyful and creative self-care practices
Self-care doesn’t have to be bubble baths and expensive candles - it can be messy, creative as well as rejuvenating!
HAPPENING IN AUGUST!
inspiration station workshop
As much as we love creative stuff, it can be hard to get inspired, especially if we’re tired. In this workshop, we’ll explore some foundational go-to strategies you can return to whenever you need inspiration! We’ll also have a really good discussion about what inspires us and motivates us, and you’ll leave the workshop with a lot of new tabs and rabbit holes to dive into!
HAPPENING IN AUGUST!
DIY creative retreat get shit done day!
Some tasks can be gnarlier than others, and some things bring up the resistance more than anything else! So towards the end of the season pass, we’ll have a day of co-working where you’ll bring exactly those things and do them with good company!
At the beginning of the day, you set out our goals and then we’ll get to it in dedicated time chunks throughout the day!
This is perfect for helping you do the things you really can’t be fucked to do or feel a bit scary.
HAPPENING IN AUGUST!

so…why does this exist?
and who are you?!

Hi! i’m meg, and i believe everything changes when you believe you matter!
Even though I have a big laugh, love bright colours, and spend a lot of my days using my creativity to solve problems and help others, it’s not been all rainbows and unicorns. I’ve been in the weeds with burnout, anxiety and hopelessness, and I’ve had to fight to find a way to live a joyful and creative life amongst the bullshit and external fuckery.
I now work as a coach, serial podcaster and all-round rebel rouser for multi-passionate and fabulously unconventional women to help them build wildly authentic and creative lives. (You can find out more about my approach and my superpowers here!). I’ve worked with hundreds of women to find THEIR own way of building a life they love and this work is the biggest joy I could imagine.
I created the Joyful Rebellion Season Pass because…
As much as we want a joyful and creative life, it’s pretty fucking hard when we’re so damn hard on ourselves, and we live in a world that glorifies burnout and toxic productivity. (Also, hello, fellow recovering people pleasers!)
Very rarely are we invited, let alone compassionately prodded, to find the joy in the everyday, get creative for fun, and celebrate what we HAVE done.
I truly believe joy is an act of rebellion and I’m so excited to spend the summer diving into helping you build a more creative and joyful life in a way that feels good, is sustainable and realistic.
Along the way, I’ve had to create ways of finding joy regardless of how busy life gets. I’ve had to build my own strategies to make time and space for creativity and find a way to stop and eat the fruit when life demands more, and the to-do list never ends, and I can’t wait to share them with you!
would i be a good fit?
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, but with similar values and intentions!
If you want to do most (if not all) of these things, Joyful Rebellion will be a great fit for you!
you want to reconnect with your creativity
you’ve maybe lost touch with your sense of joy
you want to integrate more joy and creativity into your daily life
you’re curious about using creativity as a way to look after yourself and fill your cup
you love the idea of using joy and creativity as a lens and tool to help build a life you love
you want to feel more hopeful about the world and the future
you long to feel more inspired, more connected, and more alive.
are you ready for a joyful rebellion?
here’s what other rebel rousers have said about previous workshops and experiences!
I think the most important thing was that you made us feel seen. Zoom meetings always run the risk of being quite anonymous, where you're muted on entry and listen for the duration for the session, and it was so nice to feel like it really was an online get-together rather than a seminar.
Emily, Workshop Attendee and Rebel Creators Member
Meg has created a supportive and compassionate space where her warmth and humour shine through every activity.”
Zena, 2 x One Woman Band-er
In just two hours Meg managed to completely shift my perspective from one of self depreciation to self compassion, which I am truly grateful for. Meg created such a warm and comfortable environment, where I got to learn so much about myself as well as connecting with some amazing people.
Catherine, workshop participant
”I went into it feeling that it might be like work, women who like to climb all over other women to get ahead. It was nothing like that. So many brave and beautiful people - it really restored my faith in sisterhood.”
Emma, 4 x One Woman Band-er
so, what do you say, rebel rouser?
are you ready to eat the fucking fruit?!
FUCK YES!
