Fun Brewing?
Well, as you might already know, I am dreaming up a pirate-ey Playground where we (me, my duck, you, other people who are fabulous) can play.
Play! With all the stuff I teach. And not just online but in real life.
Destuckification. Mindful biggification. With Shivanautical epiphanies. With wacky techniques and assorted smartnesses. And costumes, of course.
A place to make Very Personal Ads come true.
To do Ironic Aerobics and Dork Dancing. To practice Old Turkish Lady Yoga and Extreme Silliness.
To laugh and drink hot beverages and rewrite patterns. Together. Possibly also with superheroes Metaphor Mouse. YAY.
And so Selma and I are committing to raising enough funds fun so that we can have the Playground. Yours and mine and Selma’s. EXCITEMENTS!
So we’re brewing it. Some fun.
Wheee! Because that’s just so much more entertaining than raising it.
And here’s how we’re doing it. We’re throwing a gigantic brunch party.*
I’m kind of known for never doing sales. And now we’re doing one. Only it’s so much better than that.
* Brunch is what I say instead of “launch”. Because launching stuff isn’t really my style. I borrowed this from Tara the Blonde Chicken. Thanks, Tara!
How it works.
We’re announcing a bunch of (extremely exciting) ALL NEW Fluent Self-ified stuff.
And whatever money we make from this gigantic brunch party (after credit card processing fees and paying my First Mate) goes directly to the Playground Fund.
The goodies are divided into destuckification stuff, biggification stuff and Shivanautical stuff. They range in size quite a bit and my most earnest hope is that there will be something special for you that speaks to what your heart wants.
Because yeah, I want to grow the Playground for us, but my main wish is still that you get exactly what you need for you.
How you can be a part of this.
Oh, hooray for Helper Mice! I love that you want to do this with me.
Anything helps. You can get something for yourself. Or something for a friend. You can tell the kinds of people who will get how awesome this is.
Or who could just really use a Monster Coloring book or something.
And I’ll stop talking now because I know you want to know about what’s being brunched.
Monster Coloring Book
Oh those horrid monsters. Even when we know they’re just being horrid because it’s the only way they know to keep us safe, it still sucks.
Our monsters try to keep us stuckified through paralyzing fear, non-stop nagging or agonizing silences. Except when we talk to them because then they turn into fuzzballs.
The monster coloring book introduces you to monsters like the “Why even bother getting out of bed” monster and his cousin the “Get your pathetic, lazy, hopeless mopey ass out of bed or do you not want to get anywhere in life, you loser” monster.
And it tells you exactly what to say to them so they will stop bugging you.
Plus coloring! Fun.

Very Personal Ads: the PARTY.
You’ve seen me write Very Personal Ads for my home (Hoppy House!), my attorney and my products and programs.
If you’ve tried this stuff, you know the VPA is super powerful. And also hard (getting started and then dealing with your stuff about asking and wanting).
And really, just the idea of it kind of pushes the woo envelope, as my friend Cairene says.
This is where we break it all down.
Some science. Some wackiness. Conscious, intentional experimentation. And then we write a ton of VPAs together. And work on our stuff. And see what happens.
There’s an online class. And ten people will get to go to a tiny magical retreat in Portland. Insights and epiphanies guaranteed.
Blogging Therapy
My ridiculously popular blog series on how to get through the scary, the awkward and the what-ifs of putting your words out there for the world.
All the posts together in one, gorgeous, beautifully edited ebook. And, of course, bonus material like crazy.
From Lightbulb to Brunch
Every single thing you need to know about creating and launching a product.
But without going crazy, getting depressed or burning the muffins.
From the moment you have the idea to figuring out exactly what needs to happen (and when and how) when you announce it to the world.
And making sure it actually happens.
This is big. I don’t even want to say how big. Until now most of this is stuff I’ve only shared with private clients. And now I’m going to give you access to everything I know and everything I do.
Bitchy Boozy Coaching
You know how much you wish you just had someone whose big fat brain you admire to answer all your questions? Like, right now? No bullshit just answers?
The reason most of us generally want to hire business coaches is to get answers. But of course what actually happens is that they help us with the bigger picture and the bigger process.
Which is amazing, and we get insights and and learn all this deep stuff about ourselves.
But let’s face it. It’s an expensive, time-consuming life-process thing. It has its place, sure, but sometimes you just want that smart person with a lot more experience than you to give you a quick yes or no on something.
To point you in the right direction. Not to help you weigh the pros and cons, but to tell you what they’d do.
Anyway, Bitchy Boozy Coaching is where you bypass my $600/hour fee and instead get short, curt, abrupt answers to your questions. You tell me the issue. I tell you what I’d do and how.
No sugar-coating. No processes. None of the exercises, magic tricks or fairy dust that I do with my regular clients. Just advice. Bitchy, boozy advice.

That’s the Playground Brunch, guys.
Let’s see if I can help with questions.
What if I want more than one thing?
Right on. The more the merrier.
But how do I choose?
I know. It’s hard! I’m going to have to say trust your instincts on this one.
Whatever you get will end up being the right thing for you (and you get to support the Playground too!).
How long will this launch brunch sale-like thing be going on?
I don’t know.
This is Phase 1 of our big Playground project. When we move into Phase 2, a bunch of these will either come down altogether or go up in price (right now they’re at sale price for the brunchifying).
So just keep that in mind. Some of these are limited in terms of how many people I can let in. Some are limited in terms of time. And some will disappear when we’re ready for phase 2.
I totally don’t want to rush people or pressure you, because that would be gross. At the same time I do want to be up front about the fact that this stuff will not be around forever and that there is a clock running here.
Because one day Selma and I will check our fun-raising thermometer (which is really a giant bottle of rum with XXX scribbled on the side) and we’ll close this page. So if there is something you want now, this is a good time for it. :)
That’s it!
p.s. Just so you know: if you buy one of the Fun-Brewing special things to support the Playground, you will NOT be put on a marketing list. Or any kind of list, for that matter.
If you want to be on a list about Playground-related things, you can join the semi-secret one on the Events page.
p.p.s. Kisses!
