See What Attendees Are Saying

Life moves fast and between work, responsibilities, and the never-ending to-do list, it’s easy to put yourself last.

But creativity is self-care, and you deserve time to unplug, recharge, and reconnect with the creativity inside you.

At Create & Escape™, you don’t need experience.

You don’t need to be "good" at anything.

Creativity is for everyone, and this is your space to explore it — without judgment, pressure, or expectations.

When we allow ourselves to escape, explore, and play, we don’t just recharge— we come back to life.

Pre-recorded & self-paced — unlimited & lifetime access to watch on your own time

Live panels — connect with experts & learn in real-time


Guided by experts — no need to figure it out on your own

No experience needed — just show up, create & explore

Wondering Who's Hosting These Retreats?

Hey, I'm Steph Blake! 👋

I'm a Business Consultant and Software CEO. I'm also a mom to 2 boys, wife, CEO & Amazon Prime addict.

For years, I poured everything into building my business and raising my family—until I realized I lost a part of myself in the process.

I used to be deeply creative, finding joy in designing, making, and exploring new ideas.

But as life got busier, that creativity took a backseat to client work, to-do lists, and the daily demands of running a business and being a mom.

One day, I decided to slowly start creating again—just for myself.

I explored new hobbies to get a quick dopamine hit for my ADHD brain with no expectations or pressure. And everything changed.

Tapping back into creativity didn’t just bring back joy—it became a form of self-care, a reset button, and a way to feel more connected to myself than ever before.

Now, through Create & Escape™, I help others rediscover that same creative freedom.
