Are you ready to finally go from self critical and doubtful to fearless and accomplished?


Become a Confident Artist is my signature 7 Step Framework Group Coaching Program to go from self critical, doubtful to a fearless and accomplished artist who shows up and shares their best work with the world.


You’ve been feeling self critical and doubtful about who you are as a creative and the work that you do.


And it’s a huge problem because you are unable to show up and share your work.


You’ve seen and felt this because you’ve probably experienced


  • irregular creative practice
  • missed opportunities
  • fear of charging your worth
  • not making an impact
  • difficulty sharing work
  • destroying work deemed "not good enough"
  • unfinished work
  • ongoing stress and anxiety


Which means


  • You do not share your work
  • You do not show up confidently
  • No one sees your unique talent and the value you offer
  • You are unable to sell

What Makes This Offer Different


I know other people may be teaching this material, but I just do things a bit different because

I have the years and experience as a counsellor for 17 years.

I give the step-by-step system for dismantling your inner critic.

And I know the unique struggles of the inner critic on the creative process because I am an artist as well.

I have sat with many people and walked with them through challenging their inner critic and successfully saying goodbye to letting anxiety rule their life.

This method of cognitive reframing is proven to work extremely well on the inner critic. 

I have coached other creatives in successfully moving forward with showing up and sharing their creative offerings.


The Results


  • You become more in tune with your triggers/what sets you off. You start tracking what your inner critic sounds like, where it shows up and when it shows up, so you will be less surprised, more prepared for what to do next. You will move through making necessary adjustments to your inner critic quicker.


  • You will infuse truth into your creative practice and dismantle the inner critic, which is that inner voice that is lying to you. You will choose to continue to move toward rewarding change.


  • You will practice affirmation building regularly, as you set in motion an affirming automatic response when you face situations where your inner critic pops up and tries to sabotage your creativity.


  • You will start the preliminary and ongoing work of discovering and evaluating your value system (knowing and working from your “why”). You will have congruency between your beliefs and your creative practice.


  • You will step into your strengths, which means you will let the unimportant work fall away and you will lean into your best work. This is the alignment of who you are with what you do and what you share with the world.


  • You will learn to create structure, accountability and focus. Intentional goal setting gives you clarity and moves you through the creation phase of a particular project successfully through to the sharing of your work. Creating your best work and sharing it with the world is the outcome of this process, so it makes sense that you need to have an intentional path and system.


  • You will learn to be intentionally purposeful about your mental, spiritual and physical health. Your health gives your creativity room to flourish. You are not just a doing, but a being as well.

"I immediately felt comfortable, understood and able to depend on Darlene to set me on the right path to success. Her gentle voice guides you through a step-by-step process on what an affirmation is, why it’s important and how to write affirmations to suit you and your needs. She gives multiple examples of how to actively turn your thoughts from negative to positive, which demonstrate writing your own affirmations doesn’t need to be difficult or time-consuming. She also teaches you how and when to use your affirmations, which I found particularly helpful."

"Darlene helped me to identify areas of my creative practice that were holding me back, ones that were keeping me in a state of inaction. First, she helped me locate my inner critic, and then what it was saying to me. I realized that my inner voice was putting me down and that I needed to replace the negativity with different words. Words like “there are many people who would appreciate what I do, despite my age and perceived ‘coolness.’” Also she helped me realize that my art is a necessary and valuable part of who I am and what I do in life. Life would be dull and grey without that creative spark. My art and sharing it with others isn’t a frivolous pursuit – it’s a necessary part of who I am and my overall purpose. I was given practical strategies to overcome my perfectionistic tendencies, which had me stuck in a perpetual loop of procrastination because I wasn’t yet “good enough.” Things don’t always have to be perfect to be shared. Sometimes, the most popular or appreciated work is that which is genuine and authentic, despite not being perfectly polished. Taking things one day and one moment at a time, making a plan, being gentle with oneself and not stressing about the result were some of the most valuable things I learned. Darlene helped me get out of a rut and to start moving forward.

“Going through her worksheets helped me to see clearly where I wanted to go, all of the small steps I needed to accomplish and to identify some of the roadblocks in my mind that might try to keep me from achieving my goals. Darlene’s consistent posts and check ups kept me moving in the right direction. I found the very act of telling someone else what I wanted to achieve made me work harder to get there. It was a form of accountability for me. I have seen Darlene model the information that she teaches. She is honest about the process and relentlessly encouraging.”

Introducing Your Coach - Darlene Brink


For over 17 years, I have worked as a Counsellor with Individuals, Couples and Families to help them clarify and accomplish their goals. However, I quickly realized that my passion and best work lies in partnering with women to build their confidence in themselves and in their creative abilities.

That is why since, 2019, I have decided to branch out on my own and help women directly. I love the connections I have made with creative women like yourself.

I launched Become a Confident Creative: Overcome Fear & Create Your Best Work to help women artists dismantle their inner critic, so they can fearlessly show up and share their work with the world.

Plus as an artist myself, I know what it is like to so desperately want to create but having so much fear hold me back for years. So, just see me as your cheerleader helping you face your inner critic and confidently become the accomplished artist you were created to be!
