MEET THE AUTHOR,
STEPH BLAKE

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 became a form of self-care, a reset button, and a way to feel connected to myself!

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