Welcome to my Blog!
A dedicated space to share my reflections, and learnings as a Life Coach.
Building Connections: How My University Journey Fuels My Coaching for Change
Like everyone, I am my own person, but I am also a culmination of my experiences to date, many of which have been supported and influenced by the incredible people who I have had the privilege of learning with and from. This post shares more about the journey of coming to accept and include these past experiences in who I am as a coach today!
Does Your Routine Support You?
When we transition from doing what we think we 'should' to what we 'need' our routines also shift from things we need to check off the list to practices that make the list feel more spacious. Our routines become light big, beautiful, sighs of relief.
The Crisis Capitalism
With the news lately, you know, the Orca revolt, Canada being on fire, and billionaires drowning with more attention than the hundreds of refugees seeking safety amidst so many other things. The disaster that is capitalism continues to be top of mind.
Of course, this is not new; we are living through the crisis of capitalism.
Permission to Change Your Mind!
Let me tell you all about how I gave myself permission to change my mind, and how you can too!! ♡
Are You Copying Someone Else’s Model Of Success?
It's so easy to try and replicate the success of those you respect, but is that the right path for you?!
Here’s the thing, you are sold the idea that ‘success’ can be neatly packaged, achieved and validated by society. But the reality is that we are all unique, and what works for one person won’t necessarily for us!♡
Finding Joy in Summer
While this summer has marked a return to many of the things we missed, it has also sometimes felt overwhelming!
In my most recent blog, I break down how it's normal to feel these two things at once, as well as some tips to ground back into your needs, to feel present and enjoy yourself.

The Power of Perspective
We all move through challenges, but gaining and maintaining perspective can be a game changer. In this post I share a recent perspective gaining experience of my own along with some actions/ questions that might help gain perspective too ♡
There is No “Right Way”
There are so many layers of expectations that keep us feeling stuck! This post shares more on how we can continue to let go and move forward with ease ♡
The Value of Community
This blog is a reflection on the value of community, and a gentle invitation to consider how you too can foster a beautiful supportive community ♡
Making Friends with Fear
Stephanie looks at our relationship with fear, sharing her own experiences and providing suggestions for how we can work with fear rather than against it.
Effort & Ease | The Practice of Finding Balance
Stephanie explores the relationship between ease and effort, challenging our go-to approach of one and then the other. Through reflections on her own experiences she invites you to try to introduce ease into moments of effort, to see if it is possible to find a balance between the two.
The Quest for COOL vs. The Freedom of Letting Go
We, especially North American's, use the word cool a lot. "Ah that's cool" is, almost a substitute for neat, interesting, exciting, etc. A T-shirt can be cool, and so can a restaurant, "it's a pretty cool spot".
But the cool I am interested in talking about in this blog, is the state of being, the status, or maybe for some even the identity.
So in this blog I look at the role of “cool” and it’s relationship to our desire to belong.
What is “Home”? | Our Deep & Valid Desire to Belong
Certain moments in our lives provoke an extra bit of reflection. There are the natural ones when the world tells us we are supposed to pause, look back at how far we have come, and consider where we want to go next: you know, like the transition to a new calendar year or a big birthday.
But at this moment, I am feeling my reflective tendencies heightened even further as I cautiously count down the days to my return to Nova Scotia. The biggest questions on my mind were: what is home? What makes something feel like a home? Is it something we can foster?
