Hi [Name],
I came across your work [where — IG, podcast, article, mutual connection]. The way you [specific thing about how they work with creatives] is exactly the kind of practice I built this thing for.
It's called Why Do You Create? — a free, AI-guided reflective journey for creatives. Someone takes it on their own (15–25 minutes), gets a personal manifesto, and walks away with their fears, permissions, and creative purpose surfaced in their own words. Then it gives the guide they're working with a structured way to debrief — without ever having to read what they wrote.
I'm in early access right now and showing it to a small handful of guides who I think would actually use it. No pitch, no payment, no commitment. I'd love 20 minutes of your time to show you the dashboard and hear what doesn't fit.
Easiest way: take the journey first at whydoyoucreate.com (it's the experience your clients would have). Then if it resonates, hit reply and I'll set up your guide account.
If it's not a fit, completely fine — would still love to know what missed.
Thanks for considering it,

Hi [Name],
I'm reaching out because of [the group/workshop/cohort you run]. I've built something that I think might fit how you work with people, and I'd love a few minutes of your honest reaction.
It's called Why Do You Create? — a free reflective journey for creatives. People take it on their own (15–25 minutes), then come together for a debrief. As the kindler, you get aggregate group data — top fears, top permissions, top reasons people make things — without ever seeing individual responses. The goal is to spark the kind of conversation that doesn't happen by default.
It works as a 90-minute single session, an assign-and-discuss format, or a paced version with checkpoints. There's a pre-made debrief guide and post-session recap link you can share with participants.
Free during early access. I'm being deliberately small with who I invite to host, because I want feedback from people whose practice I respect before opening it wider.
Easiest way to evaluate: take the journey yourself at whydoyoucreate.com (it's what your group would experience). Then if you'd want to try running it with a group, hit reply and I'll set up your kindler account.
Either way, would love to hear what you think.

Hi [Name],
I made something I think you might actually like. It's called Why Do You Create? — a free, private reflective experience for creatives. Takes 15–25 minutes. Asks you questions about your creative identity, what holds you back, and what you need permission for. At the end, you get a personal manifesto written from your own answers.
Nothing you write is shared. There's no signup wall, no email required to start. Just go to whydoyoucreate.com and try it.
I'd genuinely love to know what you thought of it after — what hit, what felt off, what surprised you. No pressure to reply if it's not for you.

Hi [Name],
I want to share something with you before our next session. It's called Why Do You Create? — a free, private reflective experience that takes about 15–25 minutes.
It'll ask you questions about your creative identity, what holds you back, and what permission you need to give yourself to keep going. At the end, you'll get a personal manifesto about your creative purpose.
Everything you write is private. I won't see any of it unless you choose to share it with me afterward. If you do share, it'll give us incredible material to work with together.
Here's your link: [your invite link from your guide dashboard]
Try to do it somewhere quiet, with no distractions. Be honest with yourself — that's when it works best.

Hi [Name],
I've been thinking about what came up in our conversation after your journey. [Reference something specific they shared — a fear they named, a part of the manifesto that resonated, the permission they gave themselves.]
Before our next session, I'd love for you to sit with this question: [a specific coaching question based on what they shared]. No need to write anything down. Just let it be in the back of your mind.
Also — if you haven't already, save your manifesto somewhere you'll see it. Above your desk, in your notes app, wherever you'll find it when you need it.

Quick check-in between sessions. The thing you said about [specific thing they shared in your last call] is still rattling around for me.
One question to sit with before we meet: [a specific question that builds on what they shared]. No need to answer back — just let it be in the back of your mind.
See you [date].
Hi everyone,
In our upcoming session on [date], we're going to do something a little different. It's called Why Do You Create? — a reflective experience designed for people who make things.
[If assign & discuss format:] I'd like you to go through it before we meet. It takes 15–25 minutes. Do it somewhere quiet. Be honest — nobody else will see what you write.
[If single session format:] We'll go through it together during the session. Just bring a phone or laptop with you. Everything else will be explained when we meet.
Here's the link: [room link from your kindler dashboard]
A few things to know: everything you write is completely private. I can see group-level patterns, never individual answers. You'll have a chance to share as much or as little as you want when we debrief together.
See you [date].

Hi everyone,
Thank you for showing up the way you did in our session. The conversation we had after the journey was [honest/powerful/moving/exactly what I hoped for].
A few things to carry forward:
- Your manifesto is yours. Save it somewhere you'll see it.
- The journey is designed to be taken again. Your answers will shift over time — that shift is itself valuable.
- The real question from the session: what are you going to make this week?
