WHEN LIFE ASKS YOU TO PAUSE
The space between what was and what comes next.
You’ve worked hard. Made plans. Kept going. Yet there are seasons when the next opportunity, the right relationship, or a sense of direction takes longer than you hoped.
Creative Waiting invites you to give that season meaning. Through personal stories, reflective practices, Human Design, and the Taoist idea of Wu Wei, Lia explores how to stay curious and engaged while your next chapter takes shape.
There is still room to dream, create, and take a small, honest step.

MEET THE AUTHOR
“Me? A houseplant?”
After years of writing books, building startups, and chasing the next goal, my Human Design coach asked me to be like a houseplant: rooted, present, and willing to receive.
I wasn’t sure I knew how. I had built a life around making things happen. But looking back, I could also see the cost of rushing—and the unexpected possibilities that arrived when I gave life a little more room.
That question became the beginning of Creative Waiting. This book brings together the stories, questions, and practices that helped me find a gentler way to move forward.
I’m Lia Golledge: an author of 34 books, co-founder of Storial and Zetta Media, and a writing partner to founders. I’ve spent more than 15 years helping people turn experience into stories that connect.

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT WONDER
Before you turn the page.
Who is Creative Waiting for?
For readers navigating an in-between season: a change in work, a creative pause, a new chapter, or simply a wish to move through life with more intention. It is especially for people who recognise the urge to rush or force the next step.
Do I need to know my Human Design?
No prior knowledge is needed to begin. The book introduces Human Design strategies and decision-making authorities alongside personal stories, journaling, and other reflective practices.
Is this a book about doing nothing?
Creative Waiting explores an engaged kind of waiting: paying attention, nurturing your creativity, experimenting, and taking action when you have greater clarity.
Where can I buy the book?
You can find the book on Amazon Australia. Check the listing for the available editions, current price, and delivery options.
