I'M IN

Meet your homeroom teachers,
Lauren & Alisa

Lauren McConnell

Lauren McConnell is a certified Life, Business, and ADHD Coach who helps creative entrepreneurs untangle their sparkly, creative brains and build businesses that actually feel good to grow.

Alisa Singh

Alisa Singh is a no-BS coach + strategist with decades of experience creating clear, actionable plans in the middle of chaos!

Together they co-founded the Creative Connection Collective (CCC) to create the kind of supportive, inspiring space they once craved – and they’re on a mission to help other creatives thrive on their own terms.

The Creative Connection Collective (CCC) is a free online community where creative entrepreneurs can:

  • Connect with other artists, designers, and muralists

  • Swap resources, get support, and share ideas

  • Attend free workshops, co-working sessions, and meet-ups

  • Grow their business without pressure or burnout

 

We're hosting the Back To School Summit inside this private space—and you'll get full access when you sign up!

"Alisa is calm and thoughtful, my go-to when I need help figuring something out, while Lauren is fun, silly, and full of mindset wisdom that makes you laugh and rewire your brain."

Amanda Jozaitis

Region Design Co.

"Alisa and Lauren have worked hard to create a warm and welcoming environment, and to provide thoughtful, relevant events and conversations that spark our imaginations and inspire us to go further than we ever thought we could. It's so comforting to feel I'm not doing this alone."

Heidi Breier

"The CCC has been such a gift as a solo creative. As a team, Alisa and Lauren have both helped me see what lights me up within my business and myself. Alisa is always there to keep me moving on the production items and Lauren keeps me on track with the magic and the mindset."

Malinda Brewster

Case+Point:Media

"Lauren and Alisa’s superpowers complement each other in the CCC, a space where positive reinforcement, accountability, and tactical business planning come together to benefit Creatives looking for community. Lauren’s ability to help Creatives get to the root of what they want and take the next right step - busting through overwhelm, is a gift. Alisa is adept at creating containers that get creatives moving and accountable to their dreams."
