About the course
Unstuck: a 21-day creative restart
Unstuck is a daily restart for anyone who used to make things and stopped. Each episode is about seven minutes long: a word from Mia, a short story from a guest on the Creative Conversations podcast, and one small thing to make that day.
Week one makes starting cheap. Week two is play and variety. Week three gets one small piece finished and shown to one person.
- Format
- A welcome and 21 daily audio episodes on your own private podcast feed
- Each day
- About 7 minutes of listening and 10 to 20 minutes of making
- Extras
- A printable prompt card for every day and a Start Here guide
- Presenter
- Mia Moore, with guests from Creative Conversations in their own words

- Hold a protected slot of at least 15 minutes in your week
- Decide when a small piece is done, using your own definition
- Finish, title and show one small piece to one person
- Plan your next 21 days from the prompts that worked

Who it's for
This is for you if
- You used to draw, write, play, paint or make, and stopped somewhere along the way
- You want a small daily habit rather than a six-month programme
- You'd like to finish one small thing and show it to somebody
- You have ten spare minutes most days
Who it isn't for
Probably not, if
- You want technique teaching in one particular craft
- You want the deeper work on why you stopped. That's The Phoenix Formula

Questions
Before you ask
Do I need any experience?
None. You need whatever you like making things with, ten minutes a day and somewhere to keep the cards.
How does the private feed work?
After you buy, you get an email with a link to your own private podcast feed. Open it on your phone and the episodes appear in your podcast app. The feed is personal to you.
How is it different from The Phoenix Formula?
The Phoenix Formula spends six months on why you stopped and what keeps you going. Unstuck spends 21 days getting you making again. You can do either first.
Want to go deeper afterwards? The Phoenix Formula is six months of it.
