WHY RODEO ORACLE?

"In one of my earliest group exhibitions, artists were asked to choose former racehorse names for their works. The name 'Rodeo Oracle' immediately sparked my imagination with its playful and anomalous word pairing. Years later it later became my social media handle! However its significance has grown deeper with time. To me ‘Rodeo Oracle’ embodies the necessary synthesis of intuition and adaptive strategy that best serves us in our creative pursuits. This guiding principle also informs my approach as a creative coach and mentor.”

MEET AOIBHEANN, YOUR CREATIVE COACH AND MENTOR

(Pronounced "Ay-veen"!)

Hands up if you can resonate:

  • Burned out from the constant grind with little return

  • All in creatively, but networking and marketing aren't your forte

  • Overflowing with ideas, but struggling to manage your time effectively

I hear you! With over fifteen years of professional experience across various creative fields, I've faced the same challenges firsthand. A few years back, and two masters degrees in, I hit a low point. I had adopted so many new influences and methodologies in my work that I completely lost my center. The overwhelm gradually led to stagnation and an inability to see a clear path forward. Fortunately for me, that's when coaching and mentoring stepped in. It helped me reconnect with my intuition, and realign with what was essential in my work. As soon as I cleared away the distractions, I could access the intrinsic motivation and enthusiasm I needed to propel me forward again.

This transformative experience is what fuels my passion for supporting fellow creative practitioners on their paths today. I’ve had the privilege of working with visual artists, curators, filmmakers, musicians, dancers, writers, theater makers, creative producers, drag performers, architects and more! Despite their varied backgrounds, my clients all share one desire: to live life and create on their own terms. Navigating industry pressures while staying true to your unique vision requires determination, self- belief, and a clear roadmap of actionable goals. But I firmly believe that the journey should also be enjoyable- that's where Rodeo Oracle comes in!

My programmes blend coaching and mentoring to foster the emotional resilience and mental clarity needed for your artistic growth. Coaching provides you with structure and accountability, while mentoring equips you with personalized guidance and a dollop of my hard-earned wisdom! Together we'll cultivate the ideal conditions for your creativity to flourish, empowering you to achieve exciting career milestones, while experiencing more ease and flow in your life.
