Reviews for my work

Of course, reviews will help you get to know me.

However. What if they do something else? What if they inspire you to leap into your arena.

This entire platform started 5 years ago with me, alone in my room, writing on a blank journal page. No evidence I'd make an impact, no validation beyond my two best friends—jJust the wisdom that had been etched into my bones by a dozen difficult lessons and a nudge from The Muse to share it.

Today, after dozens of essays, hundreds of sessions, and a community of 70K+, my greatest wealth as an artist is this: evidence of the grace available to all artists. You don't need to believe in yourself to start or to have impact. You only need courage.

I want the same for you.

“Ms. Aldrich's depth of knowledge and facility with the component parts of the creative process is nothing short of a tour-de-force. Her ability to navigate and illuminate the creative journey is remarkable.”

"Vanessa has taught me to get off my ass and sit in my chair to get writing done, and to get myself out of my way. She speaks to not just the artist but the soul. There is a greater purpose she has helped me understand that is vital for our lives here in the time we have. As a seasoned coach and teacher, I support her work and teachings for anyone looking to see truths we don't always want to hear."

  • "Vanessa has helped me so much through her posts, lives, and Villain workshop! I can't wait until her book comes out - I'll definitely be buying it in all forms. Yesterday while working out at the gym after one of her lives, I found myself thinking, 'I wish I had Vanessa on repeat!' Whether she gets a book deal or self-publishes (like I'm doing later this year), I can't wait for more of her content. Thank you, Vanessa - God bless you!"

  • "I did the Villain Challenge in January, and my art has changed drastically. She is an alien / angel from the future and the past and the present. Love her work!

  • ""Vanessa's work has unlocked something deep within me that I have been searching for. I felt like a lost traveler, very doubtful, very unsure, and very much aching for something. Her work has opened up a new pathway of knowledge, of intention and of direction. I feel I'm scratching at something bigger than me, and for the first time in about a decade I feel actually hopeful about my art."
