Hi, I’m Renée.
For years, I’ve shared pieces of my life here — from personal growth reflections to travel stories and everything in between. This blog began as a space to explore what it means to live fully.
Now, it’s evolved into something deeper: a living record of learning to inhabit life as it actually is.
I believe life isn’t meant to be perfected — it’s meant to be lived, messy and full.
After being laid off in 2024, I pressed pause on the chase and stepped into what I call my creative sabbatical — a season of rebuilding, slowing down, and learning to live my dream life now, even in the in-between.
This is where I share what it looks like to choose presence over postponement, to find meaning in the uncertain spaces, and to remember that the life you’re living right now isn’t practice for your real life. This is it.
What You’ll Find Here…
Life Transitions & The In-Between → honest reflections on navigating change, starting over, and finding meaning in uncertain seasons.
Tiny Rebellions → gentle experiments and small acts of defiance against hustle culture and burnout.
Slow & Intentional Living → rituals, routines, and daily practices that ground you in presence and simplicity.
Cozy Lifestyle → personal growth stories, seasonal rhythms, and the tangible comforts that make everyday life feel like home.
This isn’t about waiting for your life to start or rushing to the next chapter. It’s about learning to inhabit your days now. Because this messy, in-between season?
This is your life. And it deserves to be lived fully.
Here you’ll find slow living essays, reflections on personal growth, and stories from the rebuilding seasons — all reminders that you’re not broken for being exactly where you are.
This space is for those in transition — the homebody dreamers, quiet creatives, and sensitive achievers — who want to stop postponing their lives and start rooting into them now.
If that’s you, this is your permission slip. The in-between isn’t a waiting room — it’s where you become who you’re meant to be. And you don’t have to do it alone.
✨ The invitation is simple: Stop waiting. Start living. Right here, right now, exactly as you are.
