Why I Fired Every Coach I Ever Hired (Even the Brilliant Ones)

Why I Fired Every Coach I Ever Hired (Even the Brilliant Ones)

I’ve worked with some incredible coaches. Brilliant minds. Experts in their fields. People who genuinely wanted to help me succeed.

And I fired every single one of them.

Not because they weren’t talented. Not because their strategies didn’t work. But because the creative spirit does not thrive within rigid systems.

The world of business is full of rules:
📌 Nail down your niche.
📌 Follow a proven framework.
📌 Stick to the step-by-step process.
📌 Focus on ROI, efficiency, and scalability.

And while these strategies might work for some, they often suffocate the very essence of creativity.

The truth is, creative entrepreneurs are different. We don’t follow straight paths. We are here to explore, to innovate, to bring into form what does not yet exist. And forcing ourselves into boxes that weren’t built for us? That’s a recipe for frustration, burnout, and creative stagnation.

The Problem with “Business as Usual” for Creatives

For years, I believed I had to “fix” the way I operated in business.

I thought my fluidity, my multidimensional interests, and my deep desire to create outside the lines were flaws—things that needed to be disciplined and refined in order to be “successful.”

So, I hired business coaches.

And every time, I found myself hearing the same advice:

🔹 “You need to get more focused.”
🔹 “You have to choose ONE thing and stick to it.”
🔹 “You’re not being strategic enough.”
🔹 “You have a scarcity mindset.”

The buzzwords changed, but the message was the same: I wasn’t doing it right.

But then I asked myself: Who said this was the only way?

Because here’s what I know to be true:
Creativity thrives on exploration.
Artists and visionaries are meant to play outside the lines.
Rigid systems may create businesses, but they don’t create movements.

The traditional business world wasn’t built for creatives—it was built for efficiency, predictability, and control. But we are not here to repeat what’s been done before. We are here to build what does not yet exist.

What If There Was Another Way?

I was asked recently about my Private Mentorship.

And honestly? It’s difficult to explain—because it’s not a framework. It’s not a one-size-fits-all strategy. It’s not a paint-by-numbers business model.

It’s a bespoke journey designed to support creatives in bringing their truest work into the world.

I call it HEARTSCAPING.

It’s not something I pulled from a book. I didn’t adapt it from another industry or regurgitate someone else’s strategy. I developed it from the perspective of an artist, not a business owner.

Because here’s the thing:

We don’t need more templated success formulas. We need more spaces that honor the creative spirit.

Your Path Isn’t Supposed to Look Like Anyone Else’s

If you’ve ever felt like traditional business strategies don’t fit you… you are not broken. You are not “doing it wrong.” You are simply here to do it differently.

🔥 So let’s build differently.
🔥 Let’s create from alignment, not obligation.
🔥 Let’s bring to life the ideas that feel alive, not just the ones that “make sense.”

We all have a part to play in crafting the world as we desire it to be. And each of our paths is uniquely designed for us.

You are a powerful creator. Don’t let anyone make you feel otherwise. ✨

Ready to Create from Soul Instead of Strategy?

If you’re tired of forcing yourself into rigid systems that don’t fit… if you’re ready to build something that feels alive, aligned, and fully YOU… I invite you to explore my Heartscaping methodology- I use it in every one of my programs, events or private mentoring.

💡 This is for the creatives, the visionaries, the soul-led entrepreneurs who refuse to be boxed in.

Love, Chamonix

How to be more decisive

How to be more decisive

We’ve been taught that decisiveness can come across as pushy, that having a clear opinion might make us seem difficult. So, instead, we hesitate. We second-guess. We defer to others. And we waste valuable time—not just in the grocery store but in our businesses, relationships, and everyday choices. In this post, we explore how to build decisiveness and trust yourself in the process.

Full in Moon in Gemini (Vedic/Sidereal)


Welcome to this Heartscaping meditation under the Full Moon in Gemini (Vedic system)

Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which aligns with the actual positions of constellations in the sky. In other words, if you were to look at a star tracking app on your phone, you would see that this Full Moon is in the constellation of Gemini (not Cancer, as according to western astrology)

My heARTscaping Full Moon meditations are channelled practices where I tune into the energy that is available and guide you through a practice with the intention of empowering and elevating your authentic expression.

This is a time to embrace the duality, that exists within you, and access clarity and connection. Under this luminous moon, we honour the energy of Gemini—the curious mind, the playful communicator, and the seeker of balance between light and shadow. Gemini being an air sign, we are going to work with the breath throughout this meditation.

Thank you for sharing this heartscaping practice with me. My name is Chamonix, I’m a shamanic artists and mentor for conscious creators and visionary leaders. If you are seeking support in integrating your essence on a deeper level and amplifying your creative power, you can find more ressources and some of the tools I use in my personal practice via the links below.

The benefits of cold plunges

The benefits of cold plunges

Since moving to the Northern Territory, I have struggled with the heat and humidity. My body is just not built for the tropics! Then, I got an ice-bath… a chest freezer, converted to a cold plunge bath set at 15 degrees celsius (perfect for the female body to soak up all the benefits without messing up the delicate balance of hormonal cycle) and my life changed! Or, at least, my experience of the Territory shifted considerably. I did my research and here’s my take on what cold plunges can do for you!

Cold plunges are like nature’s version of tough love. They slap you awake, remind you that you’re alive, and leave you buzzing with energy and insight. Imagine stepping into an icy embrace that feels equal parts punishment and enlightenment. It's a humbling practice—both a test of your resilience and an invitation to connect with something bigger than yourself. This blog post will give you the lowdown, sprinkled with a touch of humour and a dash of spirituality.
