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 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… Heck, being an ADULT can be so hard and so soul crushing sometimes.

On the other side of darkness though, I have found so, so, so much light and so much joy. That joy was there all along, and becoming curious and creative helped me to find it!

It starts with you, deep within. It starts with getting reacquainted with YOUR inner joy! It starts with freedom to create the life you desire.

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.

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?

MORE CREATIVITY AND LESS DRUDGERY?

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. Creative. I began trying new things— dancing, playing, painting, and bringing more laughter into our lives. It is certainly not always easy to maintain creative joy in my life, but it has made the biggest change! 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 that “the secret” to feeling more present and at peace with the craziness of being an adult was to reconnect with my inner creative joy and feel my feelings! Remember feeling free and excited as a child? Remember creating just for the sake of the process (and not the result)? Remember laughing at anything and everything just because it felt good? Remember yelling and crying and stomping to get things out? Remember the thrill of swinging so high your feet touched the sky? THAT is what I want!

Bringing the time and space to get to know ME more allowed me to:

• Feel more relaxed. 
• Be more patient with my children as I navigate single motherhood. 
• Experience more moments of pure bliss. 
• Have more focus when working.

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

If you’ve ever said you don’t have the time to have fun, or you don’t know “how”… it would be an honour to hold your hand along the way!

Please scoot closer and share your story with me, or pop over to my programs to begin your journey back to joy. There’s room for you here and it thrills my heart to connect and with you!

So much love,

Alexis
