Reignite Your Creative Spirit
Coaching (pathwork) for Creators Who Are Ready to Make with Meaning.
Whether you're a photographer, filmmaker, writer, or any kind of creative soul, this is for those who feel stuck, burned out, lost, or uncertain… and are ready to come back home to their true voice.
This isn’t performance coaching.
This is mindset, heartset, and soulset.
This is The Way of the Creator.
“Honor truth. Face what is. Speak what’s real. Create from the deepest place you know.”
The Way of the Honest Lens
My coaching philosophy is not just a technique. It’s a path I’ve walked, and still walk, every day. It’s born from my own wrestle with fear, shame, and the noise in my head that told me I’d never be enough. I learned that real freedom doesn’t come from pretending the noise isn’t there; it comes from looking at it through an honest lens.
I’m also a licensed therapist, and working alongside individuals for over 15 years has deeply shaped what became Bokeh Bushido. I’ve sat with people in their darkest moments, helping them accept painful truths, untangle dysfunctional beliefs, and rebuild their sense of self from the inside out. Those lessons live in this coaching too.
Acceptance: Bowing to What is
A cornerstone of my coaching is acceptance.
Not resignation, but the courage to see reality as it truly is. The Bushido code teaches us that a warrior faces what is hard, even when it’s uncomfortable. I help you accept what’s true about your life, your patterns, your wounds, so you stop fighting reality and start working with it.
Reframing & Self-Talk: Sharpening the Inner Blade
Bushido demands the discipline to train your mind as well as your hands.
Much of our suffering comes from inherited narratives, stories we absorbed in childhood, unexamined shame, old beliefs that still run the show.
I’ll help you become aware of the toxic scripts you carry, so you can challenge them with self-compassion and new language.
You’ll practice healthier self-talk, not as empty affirmations, but as truthful reminders of who you’re becoming.
Facts Over Feelings, But Feelings Are teachers
Feelings matter. But feelings lie when they’re untethered from truth.
In this dojo, we learn to name feelings honestly, then balance them with facts, evidence, and the bigger story. We build a practice of noticing when feelings drive you to hide, freeze, or doubt yourself, and then re-ground you in what’s real.
Courage, Discipline, & CompassioN
The Bushido code is built on courage and compassion held together by discipline.
Our coaching relationship works the same way: I’ll hold space for you with deep care and honesty, but I’ll also challenge you to do the hard things, accept truth, stay present, and keep showing up for yourself and your craft.
The Bokeh Bushido Creator Coaching Experience
“You won’t always feel inspired, but show up anyway. Mastery is forged in the quiet hours, not the loud applause.”
– The Bushido Way of Showing Up
This is a coaching path designed for creators who want more than tips and tricks. You want to understand yourself. You want to make honest, powerful work that doesn’t come from desperation, but from a deeper well of clarity, healing, and purpose.
Through personalized coaching, we’ll explore:
Your creative wounds and the lies they whisper
Your inner critic and how it hijacks your joy
The discipline of sacred routines that ground your art
The difference between desperate creation and healthy desire
How to create from wholeness, not just hustle
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
“Before working with Carlos, I thought I had a productivity problem. Turns out, I had a worthiness problem. I’d been chasing clients, trends, and Instagram likes, but I’d lost all sense of why I even picked up a camera. The Way shifted me from desperate hustle to quiet, steady confidence. Now I shoot with less fear and more truth, and that changes everything.”
Aaron - Freelance Photographer
Who This Is For
“Some days, your mind will feel like a riot and your heart like a ghost town. Create from there anyway. That’s where the gold is buried.”
– Turning Chaos into Craft
this is for you if…
You feel stuck in perfectionism, procrastination, or burnout
You create to feel worthy, but it never quite satisfies
You’ve lost your sense of joy and wonder in your work
You want to grow in confidence, consistency, and clarity
You’re ready to go inward, not just upward
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
“Working at Disney sounds like a dream, but secretly, I was drowning in imposter syndrome. I felt like I had nothing original left to say. Bokeh Bushido gave me a way to meet my inner critic without letting it run my life. I still feel fear, but now it doesn’t own me. I draw from a deeper place, and it shows.”
Miguel - Disney Animation Artist

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
“Bokeh Bushido felt like a soul reset. I’d been sculpting pieces that felt empty because I was so disconnected from myself. Carlos helped me see how my fear of being ‘not good enough’ was baked into my work. Our sessions helped me reclaim play, imperfection, and real joy. My hands feel free again.”
Rina - Clay Sculptor

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
“I was deep in burnout, stuck in a loop of perfectionism and procrastination. I kept rewriting the same chapter for two years. Carlos helped me see that I wasn’t lazy; I was terrified. Now I have rituals that ground me when fear spikes, and I’ve finally finished my draft. I trust my voice again. I trust myself.”
