The Creative Urge

A GENTLE SHOVE TOWARDS CREATIVE FREEDOM
Sign up to The Creative Urge and I’ll whisper spicy truths (the opposite of sweet nothings) in your ear every week.
I’m unafraid to tackle the more uncomfortable aspects of what happens AFTER you get the urge to create – we’re talking grief, obsession, rejection and much, much more.
It’s like a pep talk that both stings and soothes in equal measure…oh, and it’s free.
Let's collaborate
It’s you. It’s me. It’s creativity.
Your ideas are magic… but they won’t create themselves (boy, do I wish they would). Creating can be a lonely process where it’s easy to get stuck up in your head and overthink your way out of action. But there’s good news: we can sit in the uncertainty and find a way out, together. From business to Art to everything in between, let’s get you back on track.
The right ideas at the right time can change your life. As a speaker, I love nothing more than empowering you to explore your creativity and growth in new and interesting ways. Whether it’s an in-person or online event, team workshop or as a guest on your podcast, I’ll bring a flavour of energy and expertise your audience will fall in love with.
For those moments you need a swift kick up the bum to get moving, or the right question to jumpstart your day – you’ll find it here. I offer low-cost creative tools and resources in my online shop that are designed to take the guesswork out of creating. From journal prompt cards to eWorkbooks, your growth and creative momentum are my obsessions.
Hi, I’m Maz!
ARTIST, CREATIVITY COACH & WRITER
Like you, I put my heart and soul into everything I do… but there’s more to me than meets the eye. My journey has been anything but smooth, yet I’m still here… a living testament to the power of creativity.
Childhood trauma really set the tone for the course of my life. Yet I didn’t go down a self-destructive path. In fact, I found a way to escape it and heal using creativity, kickstarting a journey of post-traumatic growth that I then unpacked and explored in my PhD research.
After working in a variety of different creative roles – from art gallery assistant, to creative summer camp tutor, to agency copywriter – I made the leap to build something of my own a few years ago. You don’t have to go down this path, but I reckon you value creativity just as much as I do (which is why you’re here).
Now, I’m channeling all of my experience, artistry and word wizardry into helping you ‘Spiral Up’. You deserve to grow and thrive in the aftermath of trauma and life’s most challenging moments – and we’re going to get there together.

Why creativity isn’t a zero-sum game
Episode 7 : Why Creativity isn’t a zero-sum game What Doesn’t Kill Us by Dr Marion Piper | February, 20th 2022 | 23:51 I just went on a business retreat and the insights just keep coming! In this episode, I unpack why creativity isn’t a zero-sum game. So often the divide is between those who
Client Love
I loved that I could talk through what I wanted and then you were able to bring that to life and focus in on the things that mattered. You were able to articulate what I had been struggling to articulate and together we were able to get super clear on that main message I need to be communicating. I feel like you nailed my tone of voice, especially on my about page.

Responsive, responsible and trustworthy. The best part is that there’s always an overall campaign document for any project, outlining the key aspects, such as timeline, purpose and plan. I’m impressed not only by the speed and standard of the work, but also the focus on SEO or online in general. You give me confidence in the quality of the content and you save the whole team a lot of time when deciding what we should write. One of the best in the industry I have ever worked with.

“Wonderful. Smart. Easy to work with. Switched on. You got my brand tone right straight off the bat, and I really appreciated that. I love how flexible you are to work with, even listening to me speak and putting that into words. Working with you gives me faith that I'm not putting useless content out in the ether. I want to ensure that what I put out is valuable and you validate that.

Marion is fantastic to work with! She would take on each brief with ease and the end product was always excellent. She brought a witty yet sophisticated personality to our brand and did wonders for our SEO.

"I'd be wanting to overhaul some of my website copy for a while as I knew I had definitely outgrown it due to the trajectory of my business. I already knew Marion was a powerhouse with words, BUT when she floated the idea of 'The Write Words Workshop', I instantly knew this is how I could take my brand to the next level!
What I love so much is Marion has an incredible understanding of my business, she collaborated with me every step of the way and something that would have taken me a lifetime we nailed done in less than 90 mins! I walked away with my services reimagined, a formula for creating copy for them moving forward and copy for every single one is complete.
I think working with Marion in this way is integral for any business owner, especially if you want to put your best foot forward with your words. Marion, you are magic - eternally grateful (p.s. I'll be back!)"
