I want to tell you a secret. I have hated my life. I have wished to walk out the door and leave everything behind (more than once!). I have made plans. I have thrown up my hands and said, “Enough! Please, I need space. Please.” I have locked the door and cried on the floor until it was quiet.

I have seen my dark side (and find new hidden corners even still!), and I know it sucks to be in this space. Have you been there? Are you there now?

Come on closer…here’s a hug. For both of us.

Being a woman, a wife, a mom, a partner…being an ADULT can be so hard and so soul crushing sometimes.

On the other side of darkness, I have found so, so, so much light and so much joy. It starts with you, deep within. It starts with finding yourself again…even after kiddos!

We are here for one life, and it should be the juiciest, most wonderful, abundant, exciting life we can have! Ya hear me?

In 2014, I was running an event planning business putting on the largest baby trade show event in Southwestern Ontario. I had recently welcomed my second baby, and it felt like I had it all…. Successful business, family of four (plus dog!), lovely house. All the boxes were checked.

Life seemed as though it should be great, but it wasn’t . I was burnt out, unhappy, and stressed to the max; but, I just kept going. No breaks. No time for me. No time for true family downtime.

Then it smacked me in the face. What was I doing? Why was I burning myself out NOW for the hope of more time LATER to enjoy my family…and my life? I realized that my reality is created by my thoughts and my actions, and I was creating a pretty shitty reality. I wanted MORE than just getting by and doing “what I had to do.” And isn’t that what we all deserve?

More joy, abundance, and happiness…and less work, stress, and overwhelm?

I sold the event business and took some time to get to know myself and thought about how I wanted my life to feel. Fun. Happy. Joyful. I began trying new things, dancing, playing, and bringing more laughter into our lives. It is certainly not always easy to maintain joy in my life, but I know it has been the biggest life changer! I now know how to change my attitude when I’m grouchy and how to nourish my soul when I begin feeling overwhelmed. I know my desires, passions, and dreams…and I know they are worth it. I know I am worth it. I know YOU are worth it!This is my true desire for you. To know you are worth it. Worth an exciting life that makes you jump for joy and happiness.

I discovered the secret to feeling more present and at peace with the craziness of being an adult was to reconnect with my inner joy. We all have it! Remember feeling free and excited about so much as a child?

Bringing more joy, movement, laughter, and a bit of silliness into my life has enabled me to:

• Feel more relaxed.
• Be more patient with my children.
• Experience more moments of pure bliss.
• Have more focus when working.

Now, I work with women who are gung-ho on making life so freaking awesome that they wake up every day with a “Wooohhooo!” – women who are learning how to create that “woohooo!” in their lives even on crummy days. We are stronger together and creating a community around joyful living allows us to spread that wherever we go.

I am a lifelong learner, and studied social work in my post secondary education, so I was able to learn more about how to best help those around me. Now, I am a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader (who DOESN’T need more laughter?), women’s circle leader, Sacred Living Movement Instructor, and am adding new skills to my life all the time!

Please scoot closer and share your story with me, or pop over to the programs page to begin your journey. I also have some super juicy and beautiful products just for you in my shop. There’s room for you here and it thrills my heart to connect and grow with you!

So much love,

Christine
