Welcome to Decolonizing Aunty Coaching

I’m Phi, and I help writers without time to write to get clear in what’s really stopping you

so you can write with consistency and confidence.


Writing is the one thing you’ve always done. It’s who you are. It’s how you process life.

But even though writing means the world to you, something stops you from actually doing it. 

You ask yourself: why aren’t I prioritizing writing even though it’s so important to me?

It’s not that you never write. 

  • you plan stories in your head, you schedule writing time into your calendar. But something always stops you. Or you do write a little then run out of steam. 

  • you’ve tried accountability groups, workshops, courses, but as soon as they’re over, you’re back to not writing.

  • you’re tired of the write > self-doubt > doomscroll cycle but you don’t know how to break it.

You’re not here because you don’t know how to write.

You’re here because you’re not actually writing. Not consistently. 

What’s the difference? I’m so glad you asked!

Here it is:

There’s writing and then there’s your THOUGHTS ABOUT your writing. 

Your thoughts about your writing, the ones that stop you writing or screech you to a halt or convince you to do the dishes instead, have lived inside you a long time like old neighbors. You don’t know when they moved in, you’ve never met face to face, but they throw loud parties each time you want to write that stop your creative flow. 

I say this next part with love and I assure you I’ve been there:

If you can’t make time to write, you don’t need another writing workshop.

You don’t need another residency, writing group, or writing teacher. No shade on writing teachers- I am one myself.

What you need is a writing coach to help you understand WHY you’re not writing and HOW you can write again.


What’s the difference between a writing teacher and a writing coach?

I am a writer, a writing teacher AND a certified coach (hey, I’m a Capricorn, I commit).

As a writer:

I get the struggle, I live it: the constant second-guessing, the overwhelm, the self-punishing social media benders (like when did those ever help?).

As a writing teacher:

I teach the craft of writing, the show v. tell, the meaningful dialogue, all that good stuff.

As a writing coach:

I help you get clear on the exact thoughts that stop you from writing. Together, we get to know your “neighbors” (aka your thoughts about your writing). And I teach you tools to get these thoughts to quiet down so you can write.

As a coach, I’m not giving you writing prompts, I’m not holding you accountable. I’m helping you get to the root of the issue. And this way, your writing gets unstuck.

Your writing becomes confident and consistent.

This is for you if:

  • you recognize it’s taking more energy not to write than to just write already- but how?

  • you want progress over perfection

  • you want to write more, worry about editing less

  • you want writing to feel exciting again- like when you were a kid

If you’re ready to write with ease, book a free consult to see how I can help.
