CULTIVATE

co-creating the garden that holds your beautiful work | a 90-day systems build for femme & women of culture/color visionaries who want to be held by your systems instead of holding it all together on your own.

get your hands in

CULTIVATE is a one season build where we design & install your custom operational (eco)system for your business or creative practice & your life.

after this three-month season, you leave with working processes, workflows, & tools (eg. a project management platform and/or planner/notebook set up) you’ll actually use, along with your own flow almanac, a handbook that shows you your own rhythms.

the CULTIVATE method supports femme & women of culture/color who carry multiple, marginalized identities & generations of unspoken responsibilities to create structure to hold your big, beautiful visions & life so that they, & you, can fully bloom earthside or on the internet without endlessly working, burning out, or giving up time with beloveds & community.

you’re here cuz you’ve been growing:

- you’re bringing in money (or, at least desire to)
- you’re doing the thing - running the business, feeding & raising the kids, writing the book - all while calling & emailing your reps & making meals for your community, too
- trying to keep up with the dishes, laundry, & bills
- getting your health in order before it gets you.

you know you need some sort of structure, you hear a lot about systems, but where do you even start?!

what do systems & structures even mean when the ones that are supposedly supposed to care for us don’t give one fuck about us or our beloveds/community?!

most folks try to create structure by using all the bro-ductivity advice: time blocking, “schedule it or it doesn’t happen,” routines that are another job within themselves that end of up feeling overwhelming and like you’re not doing enough.

like there’s something wrong with YOU. Like you can’t keep up with the structure you created which just exacerbates the desire to WANT to get more movement in, eat better, get your shit done, AND be present for your children, your animal companions, community, etc.

step inside

CULTIVATE focuses on YOU, your natural ways of working & being, & the soul of your work & how it/they/she/he/them want to come through & be stewarded.

instead of imposing an EXTERNAL system onto the very much INTERNAL, very personal, incredibly local landscape within you.

so that you can find creative flow more often, more regularly, increase your capacity for more life, more money, more joy, more ease, & structure that ebbs & flow as you & your work do for sustainable momentum in life & work.

inside CULTIVATE

below is a complete breakdown of what we’ll be getting into in our three-month season together.

each month we’ll be walking through each area so that, by the time you leave this space, you’ll be able to find where your creative flow needs to be guided & better guide it.

phase/month 1
what we’re doing:

we’ll clear the emergencies. these are the things that get you overwhelmed, stuck, or staying “the bottleneck” in your life & work. we do this first so that you can build with more quiet & a little more peace.
we’ll go through the flow attunement process, where we build your personal flow almanac. this is mapping your natural rhythms, across the year, moon cycles, weekly, daily, & even your lifetime. read more about this on the flow attunement page.
we’ll build a home-nest. or you know, your riverbend, your cozy cottage digital headquarters. this is where we customize those fancy project management tools, planners & notebooks to FIT YOU so that you actually start to, not only use them more regularly, but finally feel supported by them.

—> as soon as you register, you’ll be able to book your 1:1 vision & strategy session with me so we can figure out together what’s holding you back & clear it.

by the end of this phase, you’re not spending all your energy putting out fires. you also stop carrying the mental load entirely in your head or on your own.

your agency comes back, you step more intentionally, you have a base to continue building from.

phase/month 2
what we’re doing:

we’ll attune to the version of you who has it all. the one who is resourced, wise, & capable (hint: they’re within you already). in this practice, we are imagining your vision come to life & feeling it, too.
then, we take your vision & break it down into timelines. the markers are irrelevant, but usually we do 10 or 5 year visions, break them down to 3 year, 1 year & then next 90 days or the next season. from there, it becomes what are we doing this week?
we’ll also choose ONE project to complete. the one that you’d like seen through to some point of "finished.” this could be an email funnel written & installed, another system or process built out, a chapter or two in the book written.

by the end of this phase, your work is more intentional instead of another thing you have to do. every task becomes one more image in your vision populated & come to life. maybe your work starts to even feel playful again!

your vision becomes clearer & more within reach.

your dream becomes a 90-day plan > getting this one thing done this week. time becomes that much more irrelevant cuz you know exactly what matters right now, in this moment without losing sight or giving too much energy to where you’re going.

phase/month 3
what we’re doing:

in this phase, we sort. we find which tasks bring you joy, which ones brought you to your work in the first place, & the ones that leave you feeling drained. then, we’ll either find a way to protect the work that brings you joy, delegate, automate, or omit (my favorite).
we practice the art of delegation & find your delegation style using elemental theory & birth charts. we’ll write you a hiring blueprint for when you’re ready to share the load, cuz you can’t hold it all on your own forever.
we get shit done. we’ll put your flow almanac, your home-nest system setup, your vision, & your hiring blueprint to put the sorting into practice. you’ll get a chance to delegate tasks to me & my squad!

by the end of this phase, you will have practiced within the structure we’ve designed & built together & understand how to use it. you begin to flex your creative & decision-making muscle which allows you to find & follow your flow with more ease, grace, & agility.

you leave with the skills to tend to your work, to the structures you’ve created to hold it, & the momentum to continue on with or without me or my team.

🌸

all this while getting to build & co-create with other femme & women of culture/color creatives who can hold your vision with you

cuz this journey gets rough, it gets emotional - in all the ways. with both the doubts AND the wins, the anxiety AND the excitement. we hold all of it with you. emotions are invited. whispers from spirit & ancestors woven in structurally, not as a an afterthought.

“Teresa has helped me start building the foundation my business has needed for a long time. Instead of just helping me get things done, she's helping me create systems that will support Creative Comadre for years to come. She's already helping me build project management, workflows, rhythms, a CEO dashboard, and even organizing my calendar so I can spend more time creating and less time trying to remember everything. The biggest shift has honestly been how supported I feel. I no longer feel like I'm carrying the entire business alone. ...She doesn't try to force me into someone else's way of working, she helps me build systems that actually fit who I am. ”

based on "The Green Bottle" sliding scale model

"the green bottle" sliding scale model

if you need some support with deciding which tier to choose. don’t overthink it! however, we are capping the community tier at two (2) people (cuz we are not martyrs anymore!)

this is the green bottle model as outlined by Alexis J. Cunningfolk: https://www.wortsandcunning.com/blog/sliding-scale

CULTIVATE is perfect for you if:

✓ you’re a neurodivergent, spiritual, and/or liberation-based creative, solopreneur or small team founder, author, organizer, or caretaker who is tired of productivity systems based on colonizer, white-supremacist, ableist rules & values.

✓ you feel the tension between your ambition and your capacity, & want to make quicker, more easeful decisions in life & work without having to play time & capacity-sudoku every hour.

✓ you’re ready to create structure for yourself, your work in whatever form it takes, your home that feels good. that feels nourishing & like you’re actually held by them instead of you contorting yourself inside of more systems that don’t fit.

✓you want to finish one project to completion.

✓ you’ve been thinking about hiring support either in your business, to support your creative practice or in your home, but you don’t know where to start.

✓ you want a sustainable workflow that allows you to create on your terms.

✓ you value intentional, non-linear, seasonal approaches to work & life.

✓ you are for rematriation of ALL Indigenous lands, you unpack your own internal white supremicist & inner colonizer, you center Black voices, especially those of Trans & Black femmes & women. You are for a Free Palestine, an ICE-Free Turtle Island, the end to overconsumption & what it does to the People & Lands in the Congo.

CULTIVATE is NOT right for you if:

✗ you're looking for linear, time-based project management with tight deadlines (we do intentional deadlines, ones that motivate without overriding).

✗ you are NOT for the above stances on global/collective events & movements.

✗you don’t want to unpack mainstream business & productivity models & systems.

✗you want a quick fix, a template, a complete done-for-you system

✗you already know that you’re systems are working for you, how to delegate to an assistant (even if you could use some guidance here), are growing comfortably & in a way where you feel sustained, & don’t feel the need for a group space. a regenerative retainer or focused tending project may be better for you!

✗ you don’t currently have the time or capacity to sit down with the work involved. while some of this program has a done-for-you component, a lot of the pieces you will need to do for yourself. It’s the kind of work that requires upfront investment, where you create it once from scratch & reiterate until it becomes second nature (one of the skills you’ll learn & practice inside of CULTIVATE). but if you don’t have the space, time, or capacity to make the investment (energetically, time-wise, & financially) NOW, then, this isn’t for you (though be on the lookout for when enrollment opens again!).

what's included

live workshops every week (recorded & edited so you don't have to show up live every time & can watch/listen in smaller chunks, too!)
weekly co-working & “office hours” Q&A
a virtual group space to brainstorm, ask questions, share celebrations & doubts, connect with each other!
1:1 creative strategy session with teresa
1:1 done-for-you logistics/admin support
emotional support, cuz the journey of putting the work close to your heart & soul that’s healing your lineage & you simultaneously gets VERY emotional and we don’t ignore that around here.

once you register:

you’ll get your welcome email where you can book your 1:1 creative/vision strategy session with me! (I LOVE a good visions yap, so I’m SO excited for these!)

EARLY BIRD SPECIAL:

FAQ

why are you capping the community tier ($350) at two (2) people?

great question! what I mean when I say we are not martys anymore, I mean I cannot sacrifice the financial (and overall) well-being of the team who supports me, the family who I support, & myself anymore. I have done this for far too long.

I am actively searching for & building out alternative ways to fund this work, so that YOU are not footing the bill. my is actually NOT to raise my rates. I would love to lower them & keep them low. and also, why I build this portion of the work out, I’ve got to meet myself where I’m at (which is a big part of what we’re doing inside of CULTIVATE, too :))

how much time does this take?

roughly 3–5 hours per week across live sessions, integration work, and your own tending. while CULTIVATE designed to fit around & honors your whole, real life, including kids, jobs, and everything else, it does require some commitment & presence.

is this done-for-you?

not entirely. if you’re one of the first two (2) people to register, you’ll get the most pressing things off your list (usually that’s social media strategy & content) & your home-nest/digital HQ built for you. in the third phase/around months 1-2, after the art of delegation workshop, you’ll get to delegate one smaller project to myself & my team.

we need to the scope small enough to provide you with high-quality support & not overload ourselves. (also why we’re keeping the cohort small!)

what if I fall behind?

there is no such thing as being “behind.” you are exactly on time, always.

sessions are recorded & we’ll be editing them into smaller chunks if that’s how you like to listen/watch things. come as you are, full life & all.

what's the difference between CULTIVATE and your other offers?

for now, CULTIVATE: the cohort is the only group situation I have set up.

focused tending projects are smaller projects in a shorter amount of time. good if you already know how you want your systems set up or if they already are set up.
the regenerative retainer is an ongoing retainer in three-month seasons, good for if, again, you ALREADY have your systems set up & know exactly what you need. we can take care of it regularly for you!
CULTIVATE: 1:1 is this but much more bespoke, much more intimate since it’s just you & I. flow attunement sessions are as needed instead of in a guided course format. full done-for-you emergency-clearing & home-nest/digital HQ build.
flow attunement 1:1 session is a one-time session where we check-in with your flow for the season. what ways of beings/habits, sequences/routines, rituals, patterns, workflows would you like to attune to? you leave with the flow almanac workbook for you to fill out & work with, as well as guided steps from.

if you’re not sure which to choose & want to talk through it with me, feel free to book a connection call & we’ll figure it out together!

can I upgrade or switch tiers later?

yes! after your CULTIVATE season ends (after three (3) months), you are welcome to choose the path from the other offers that suits the needs of you & your work best. you are welcome to join us for another cohort of CULTIVATE, too!

I have more questions. where can I reach you?

you can email me at teresa@agballacreatives.com, fill out the contact form, or book a connection call. I would LOVE to hear from you!!

if you want to talk story first

& ask about your current situation & vision (like I said in the end of the example video above), you can email me at teresa@agballacreatives.com or book a connection call.

if you're feeling called, join us

I’m intentionally keeping this cohort small & intimate. cuz it’s not another group coaching program where you’re one in 20 or 40 very little implementation support or attention.

it’s so my team & I can give you & your work the attention, care, & tending you deserve. so that we can implement, we can finally move the needle toward bringing your dream into reality. so that you can stay in flow more often & go live your life that much more fully.

we’d love to have you.
