let go of perfectionism, performance and pressure
step into
your new year
softly
You’ve spent enough New Year’s trying to push yourself into rigid goals and unrealistic high expectations — this time, you’re invited to move forward softly.
This embodied, creative, art-therapy-inspired journey helps you create your year from softness, authenticity, and nourishing self-compassion.
YES PLEASE ↗
Imagine a year without harsh self-pressure
your life might just expand beyond your wildest dreams
Instead of setting up your new year and goals with pressure, perfectionism, or urgency — Softly invites you to slow down, turn inward, and create your new year from a place of inner wisdom, self-compassion, softness, and expansion.
When your intentions come from calmness, creativity, and genuine self-connection, your body trusts them — and instead of forcing change, your life begins to unfold more naturally, gently creating space for alignment, opportunity & expansion over time.
START SOFTLY ↗ We’ve all been conditioned to think
that New Year’s means:
setting extreme goals
pushing harder.
impossible expectations
reinvent yourself instantly with urgency
but this year,
it can feel much
softer.
New years does not have to mean pressure, urgency and intensity.
You were never meant to build your life from stress.
Because you're a part of nature.
And right now?
She isn’t blooming right now in the middle of winter.
She’s tending to seeds beneath the surface.
Mother Nature doesn't grow flowers in snow.
Softly invites you into that same natural rhythm,
so you can release the perfectionism,
tend to the energies beneath your goals and dreams and create a sustainable and intentional year ahead.
When you vision softly, you:
You stop forcing yourself into unrealistic goals and start choosing actions that feel sustainable and aligned.
You no longer spiral in self-doubt before every decision — you can pause, listen inward, and move forward calmly.
You create plans that support your energy and capacity, instead of burning out and abandoning them halfway through.
You stop chasing external expectations and begin building a life that feels grounded, meaningful, and truly yours.

START SOFTLY ↗your art therapy fairy godmother
Hey, hi, hello!
I’m Ashleigh.
I created Softly as a practice I used in my own life — and it shifted everything.
It helped me grow my work and instagram community to over 100K in just 1 year through alignment instead of force. It helped me heal my relationship. It helped me regain my health.
I turn to softly every year because it works.
Over 100 people joined me last year, and the stories speak for themselves — when you tune into your inner wisdom, the noise falls away and life expands in ways you simply couldn’t plan.

how does therapeutic art work?
see your inner world
Therapeutic art is a gentle, creative process that helps you explore emotions, soften inner pressure, and connect with your inner wisdom — without needing skill, technique, or “perfect” artwork.
Through the art, you’re able to:
-
release stored energy and tension
-
see your desires, patterns, and values more clearly
-
move toward change and embodiment in a more grounded way
Some art prompts help you express emotion.
Some help you visualize your dreams.
Some invite intuition and insight.
All of them help you see yourself more clearly.
Every prompt is beginner-friendly and can be done with any art materials — making the process accessible, personal, and deeply supportive.
softly is for you
Softly is for people who are sensitive to hustle culture, exhausted by resolutions, or craving a slower, truer way to vision their year. If you want intention instead of urgency — presence instead of performance — you are in the right place.

here's why Softly exists
(and why it works)
A few years ago, I was struggling — grieving the loss of my dad, extremely underpaid, and uncertain about my path as a new art therapist.
So I turned toward my own art therapy tools and created a process for myself.
A gentle way to reflect, release what no longer supported me,
and step into the year with compassion and alignment...
all through creativity and writing!
Through the art, I slowed down, reconnected with myself,
and began choosing what felt nourishing and true —
instead of forcing myself into expectations of who I thought I should become.
Following that process year after year has changed my entire life.
(and it's a main reason why we are connected here today)
That process became Softly.
you are invited.
it's time to step into the new year, softly.
