The Creative Reset Challenge

You know that sick feeling in your stomach when you see "10 out of 12" on the tech schedule again?

The one where you're mentally calculating if you'll get 4 hours of sleep around everything else you have to do before your early call time, wondering if this is just what it takes to "make it" in entertainment?

What if I told you the same boundary-setting methods intimacy coordinators use to navigate the most sensitive on-set situations could actually get you MORE work in 2026—not less?

And I Can Show You Exactly How in Just 5 Days.

You're exhausted. Not just tired—exhausted. The kind where you can't remember the last time you saw your friends. Where you've cancelled dinner plans three weeks in a row because "the production needs you."

Without a clear system for setting professional boundaries, you'll keep saying yes to everything, burning yourself out, and somehow *still* worrying you're not doing enough.

Even if you've tried to "speak up" before and it backfired. Even if you think boundaries will make you seem "difficult." Even if you're convinced that's just how this industry works.

Sounds backwards, right?

My name's Marie Percy. I’m one of IDC’s co-founders, and I'm an Intimacy Director and Coordinator myself. I’ve got over ten years experience teaching in college theater programs, and an MFA to boot. 

For the past eight years, I’ve been facilitating boundary conversations working on scenes of intimacy which are the most sensitive scenes we can possibly work on. I’ve been teaching people how to navigate sensitive situations in rehearsal with clear communication and consent practices. But honestly? If you're anything like I was when I was teaching theater in academia, you're tired of wearing exhaustion like some twisted badge of honor.

Using this approach, you can build a sustainable career that doesn't require you to sacrifice your entire life.

But there's something you should know: I didn't invent these techniques from scratch. I learned them through intensive Intimacy Direction training, then spent years adapting them beyond just intimate scenes. I've tested these boundaries on neurotic directors, demanding producers, and chaotic production schedules.

The Creative Reset Challenge is me condensing all of that into 5 days so you don't have to figure it out through trial and error like I did.

You could do what I did—read everything you can find about consent practices, professional boundaries, and sustainable creative careers. Experiment with different approaches until you find what works. Burn a few bridges along the way because you didn't know how to say no diplomatically.

Or you can join this challenge and get the exact boundary blueprint we use as Intimacy Directors to set limits that actually increase how much people want to work with us.

No fluff about "just putting yourself first" or "learning to say no." This is the specific language, timing, and approach that works in our industry's unique power dynamics.

Here's the Deal:

I created this challenge because I kept watching talented people leave the industry. Not because they weren't good enough—because they couldn't figure out how to survive it without losing themselves.

This is 5 days of specific, actionable training. No theory. No "manifest your boundaries" nonsense. Just the practical communication tools that let you work in entertainment without it consuming your entire life.

It truly is one simple framework you can use to set yourself up for a successful 2026—and beyond.

Don't Do What I Did.

You probably don't want to spend years figuring out which boundaries you can set without seeming "difficult." You don't want to learn through painful trial and error which productions will respect you and which will take advantage.

I've made all the mistakes. The too-aggressive boundaries that scared people off. The too-soft boundaries that got trampled. The poorly-timed conversations that made me look unprofessional.

You can get all of that research done-for-you and bundled into a 5-day challenge that'll change how you approach every single gig from now on.

It's like having an Intimacy Director in your back pocket, except for your entire career instead of just the intimate scenes.

Here's What You'll Discover in the Creative Reset Challenge:

• Reignite your Creative Spark! Move from burnout and overwhelm to clarity and a purpose-filled vision for your artistic future.
  
  
• Identify the false belief you’ve been holding onto that’s actually keeping you stuck—and learn how to replace it with one that drives your success.
   
• Confidently choose where to invest your time and energy, eliminate distractions, and focus on what truly drives your creative success. 
   
• Find the joy in process over product and rediscover the excitement you felt at the beginning of your career.
   
• Learn the tested communication strategy that will allow you to rebuild your creative career from the inside out.
   
• Discover the one simple action you need to take to hit the reset button and step into 2026 feeling unstoppable, no matter the challenges ahead.  

Why is it Only $5?

Simple: I want this in the hands of as many entertainment workers as possible. 

The industry won't change from the top down—it changes when enough of us start modeling sustainable practices. When directors see that the crew with boundaries does better work. When producers realize that respecting people's limits actually makes productions run smoother.

Also? I remember being so broke that even a $47 course felt impossible. If you're between gigs, working survival jobs, or just starting out, I'm not going to price this so you can’t access it.

Here's what'll happen if you don't join:

You'll keep doing what you're doing. Saying yes to everything. Running yourself into the ground. Wondering why you're exhausted but still not getting ahead.

You'll watch other people in the industry somehow maintain boundaries AND work consistently, and you won't understand how they're doing it.

You'll keep thinking "maybe next year will be different" while repeating the exact same patterns.

I've made all the mistakes so you don't have to. I've tested these boundaries in the real world, on real productions, with real consequences. And now I'm handing you the playbook.

See you inside.

P.S. - Seriously, it's five dollars. You've spent more buying caffeine for one day of tech. At minimum, you'll get 5 days of specific, practical training on setting boundaries that actually work in entertainment. At best? This becomes the turning point where you stop burning out and start thriving. Either way, you can't lose.
