A flexible style of email & voice business coaching for creative entrepreneurs who want ongoing 1:1 support, guidance, mentorship and encouragement without the high price tag or the pressure of attending scheduled calls.
Maybe your schedule is unpredictable or you need to adapt to day-to-day changes (especially if you’re living with physical or mental health challenges, little ones, or other adult duties that already occupy a decent chunk of your time and energy).
And maybe you’re doing the best you can to balance between life, business and your clients… but deep down, you know there’s room for improvement.
You know you have more to offer, more to bring to life. And if you’re in the “now what?” phase and searching for your next best steps without overthinking or overcomplicating the process, then Seen & Heard is for you.
Because it’s okay to lack motivation even when things are going well. And it’s totally okay if your bursts of inspiration or messy brainstorming happens while you’re:
I see you and I get it. You’re allowed to jot down ideas and work on your business during those pockets of time that suits your unique schedule and lifestyle.
And you deserve the flexibility and convenience of reaching out to someone for support, guidance, questions, affirmation, or encouragement when the moment strikes.
I know what it’s like when something starts to feel off, misaligned, or draining rather than exciting (from both a personal and business perspective). Yet we reassure ourselves that nothing’s wrong because we’re productive, working with clients, or going through the motions of everyday life.
Sometimes, we’re able to catch ourselves in this cycle and bring awareness to what needs to change (because what we’re doing isn’t working or adding value anymore). But other times, it isn’t until we experience those “wake up calls” (like resentment, burn out, overwhelm, etc.) that forces us to pause and reflect.
I know what it’s like when everything is going swell and we want to do all the things in our businesses. I also know what it’s like when all the plans, goals and dreams go out the door after unexpected illnesses or circumstances where it takes weeks, months, to finally feel like a functioning human being again.
And the only way I was able to get through these bumps over the past 4+ years since I’ve been doing this work full-time? (plus an extra 5 years where I balanced an office job and multiple side hustles and projects…) It’s a long story, but I always find my way back to honouring my boundaries and stacking small accomplishments that are simple and doable.
It’s not easy to stay inspired, courageous, hopeful, or motivated when running a business—but it’s truly magical when I see my clients go through the messy middles, ask the questions on their mind, bravely share their challenges, and ultimately figure out what to do next so they can move forward again.
And the thing is, getting the support and guidance you need shouldn’t feel like a hurdle, which is why Seen & Heard is for those who want:
The flexibility and benefits of 1:1 coaching without waiting for a scheduled call, worrying about time zones, or forcing their introvert-self to show up on video.
So if this style of email & voice coaching sounds supportive (as you diversify your offers, refine your systems or processes, or shift your visibility or content strategy), I created Seen & Heard for you.
It’s possible to have a business that aligns with your energy, schedule, health and lifestyle.
It’s possible to evolve the pieces of your business at a pace that feels good to you.
Because you’re allowed to have more simplicity, abundance, flexibility, and fulfillment with your services, offers or clients.
And you don’t have to convince yourself to keep doing something that truly isn’t working anymore.
Together, we’ll dig deep, get honest, and move through resistance or uncertainty, so we can brainstorm new ideas or goals, reignite the excitement in your action steps, and reconnect with your grand business vision.
No need to schedule calls, check time zones, or show up for a live video session if you’re low on time or energy—I’m a voice note or message away when you need me!
We’ll use email and/or Voxer (free mobile and desktop app) to connect, strategize, and work together towards your next steps. If you want an alternative to live video coaching that fits with your unique schedule or introvert energy, this style of coaching is for you!
Tell me more about you, your business goals and intentions, and your current challenges by filling out a quick form. I'll be in touch about next steps if it looks like we're an awesome fit 
Once the virtual paperwork is processed and we're on the same page, it's time to find each other and download Voxer to your phone or desktop (it's free to use on both!) I'll send you some tips for this part too.
Woohoo! The coaching begins on the date we've decided on and from there, you get unlimited support and guidance from me. I'll be checking email/Voxer during the week (usually between Monday to Thursday) and you'll hear back from me within 24 - 48 hours.
Voxer is a free, real-time messaging app where we can chat back and forth using voice notes or text messages.
With Seen & Heard, you’ll get unlimited, one-on-one coaching and mentoring from me so you can bravely move forward with your ideas, create space for more ease or clarity, curiously experiment, and continue evolving your business in an intentional way.
Email is best to communicate if you have documents, PDFs, or any links you’d like me to check out or review. And if your voice note is going to be longer than 2 – 3 minutes, email would be the better option to collect your thoughts or ideas in one place.
Like Voxer, you’ll get a reply from me within 24 – 48 hours during the week. We can use a mix of email and Voxer (or you’re more than welcome to stick to emails if that works best for you!)

I’ll be mindful of what part of the world you’re in and respond as soon as I can (usually between Monday – Thursday, wherever I happen to be). Most of the time, I’m based in Canada on the westcoast, Pacific Time.
It’s very straightforward to use! And if you already send voice messages in Whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook, Signal, etc. then Voxer will be a breeze.
You can even test it out right now since downloading the app and creating an account is free.
Tip: If you experience any glitches while signing up, try turning off your VPN.
Yes! If you choose a monthly payment plan, I’ll send an invoice reminder at the beginning or end of each month depending on when we start (with no added interest!)
I’ll reach out to answer any questions you might have, or if it looks like we’re an awesome fit to work together, I’ll send over the virtual paperwork (contract, process overview, invoice, etc.)
Due to the nature of my work, refunds are not provided. But if you decide to have a change of heart, you’ll get a full refund if you cancel before our start date.
And if anything unexpected happens and I’m suddenly not available to provide coaching support due to personal reasons, emergencies, etc. I’ll reach out about extending our time together.
I’d recommend checking out Empowered Ease instead! It’s my signature 1:1 business coaching program with live, bi-weekly calls.
And if you’re looking for something short and sweet:

Contact me here if you’d like to book a Creative Clarity Call!
Coaching helps you get from where you are now, to where you want to be in your life or business. As your business coach, we’ll focus on the present and figuring out your next, best steps toward the future biz you envision.
Together, I’ll guide you every step of the way while you discover and tap into your own inner wisdom, strength and courage. Because deep down, you already know what’s best for you. You already have all the answers. Sometimes, all it takes is someone (like me!) to help you see them.
Therapy on the other hand, leans more towards the medical side where therapists, psychologists, or counsellors, will dive into someone’s past experiences, trauma, or mental health to help them gain clarity and move forward.
I’m in my 30’s now with plenty of life experiences gained from:
To be honest and upfront, there’s no guarantee you’ll make $5K or $10K months after our Seen & Heard journey together. The results you achieve depend on the work and actions you put into this process.
But if you’re ready for a change, and know in your heart that you want to transform your business and how you run it, what do you have to lose?
Time and money of course, but where would you rather be 6 months from now? Feeling stuck and stagnant or…. bravely experimenting, creating from a place of confidence and ease, and implementing your plans while knowing you have someone by your side every small step of the way
Feel free to send me an email at py@portiayip.com and I’ll be in touch soon!
