    Watch the Goal-Setting Video

    On December 28, we hosted a live goal-setting session focused on why so many well-intentioned writing goals quietly fall apart — and what actually helps instead.

    In this video, through guided journaling prompts, I walk you through:

    • common reasons creative goals don’t stick (even when we care deeply)

    • a gentler way to think about progress when life intervenes

    • guided journaling prompts to help you clarify what you want to focus on now

    This session is reflective and practical, and you’re encouraged to pause and write along as you go.

    Watching the replay is recommended before the kickoff session, especially if you weren’t able to attend live. It will give you clarity around your focus and a strong starting point for the season.

    Important Dates

    The Accountability Hub runs in 12-week seasons.

    You can join at the start of a season and step away between seasons as needed.

    To keep the container clear and supportive for everyone, new participants do not join mid-season.

    Spring 2026 Season

    Season dates: April 12 - July 11

    Kickoff session: April 12

    Midpoint session: May 24

    Wrap-up session: July 11 

      Weekly rhythm

      Throughout the season, you’ll be supported by:

      • Weekly written check-ins

      • Optional Sunday group check-ins, 

      You’re not expected to attend every live session. The structure is designed to support consistency without requiring perfect availability.

      4-week introductory period

      Each season begins with a 4-week introductory period.

      The Spring 2026 trial ends on May 10, so you can experience the weekly rhythm before deciding whether to continue for the full season.

      Testimonials

      “I have gained far more from the Accountability Hub program than I ever expected. The weekly meetings kept my creativity alive and helped me dedicate more time to writing, while I also learned to appreciate myself and my achievements, even the small ones.

      The program not only gave focus to my writing but fostered a genuine sense of belonging. During challenging times, fellow writers shared that they had gone through similar experiences and talked about how they managed to overcome them. Their practical advice truly helped.

      I’m deeply grateful to have been part of such an inspiring and supportive community.”

      Annamária Solymosi 

      “I joined the pilot phase of the accountability hub and stuck around -it’s that good! Weekly online check-ins and write-ins keep my project moving whether I let the ball drop during the week or not. An email reminder of my weekly goals hits my inbox midweek to keep me on track and the community is just great. A safe space to share our challenges, brainstorm our project goals and celebrate our milestones. The community WhatsApp group is there for support, nuggets of wisdom, little laughs, and encouragement, an invaluable aid when inspiration is low and stress is high. This program does what it says- keeps you accountable and moving at a steady pace towards those dreams.”

      Lee-sa Hartmann

      I highly recommend the accountability goal and habit tracker that Christina has made, to anyone wanting to build positive routines. It is simple, thoughtful and easy to use. I love how it helps me to focus on what matters, reminding me how small steps really do make a difference. It has become a gentle companion in keeping me on track with my goals and the weekly accountability sessions offer a warm and supportive space for sharing.
