How It Works

Two Ways to Contribute

Guest Speaker

Teach a Creative Session

Share your expertise through an engaging, hands-on session. If you help others tap into creativity, self-care, or personal expression — this is your platform.

Speakers can also contribute a product to the All Access Pass bundle.

  • 45 minutes max — short, focused, and immersive
  • Guide participants through a hands-on creative experience
  • One clear, actionable strategy or activity — not a broad overview
  • Pre-recorded video, guided activity, or step-by-step tutorial
  • Optional: one free resource or lead magnet for attendees
  • No sales pitches or product promotions in your session

We host 30–45 min live panel discussions for All Access Pass members. No big platform needed — just something genuine to share. You can opt in on your application.

How we'll support you
We link to your freebie, website, and social channels. You keep 100% of leads from your opt-in and earn 40% commissions on retreat sales through your affiliate link.

Steph Blake, founder of Create & Escape™
Your Host

Hey, I'm Steph Blake

For years I poured everything into building my business and raising my family — until I realized I'd lost a part of myself in the process. I used to be deeply creative, finding joy in designing, making, and exploring new ideas.

As life got busier, that creativity quietly took a backseat. One day I decided to start creating again — just for myself, with no expectations or pressure. 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. Now, through Create & Escape™, I help others rediscover that same creative freedom.
