Hi, I’m Renée.
Writer, cozy rebel, and creative sabbatical taker.
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 journal of becoming.
In early 2025, life handed me an unexpected pause — a layoff that turned into a doorway. Burnout, caregiving, and change unraveled the version of me who knew how to push through. I didn’t set out to start over. I just couldn’t keep pretending the life I had was the one I wanted.
So I chose to listen. To slow down. To rebuild from the inside out.
What began as a moment of uncertainty has become a season of clarity, creativity, and reconnection with myself, my purpose, and the life I’m meant to live.
Not with a checklist, but with curiosity, rituals, and tiny rebellions that add up to something real.
What You’ll Find Here…
This isn’t about aesthetic slow living or curated self-care. It’s about choosing alignment over urgency, softness over survival, and building a life that feels like home, not one handed to you by someone else’s blueprint.
You’ll find reflections on creative growth, soulful routines, seasonal living, and the vulnerable (but powerful) process of starting again. It’s a mix of archived stories from past seasons and new ones from the chapter I’m in now.
Whether I’m sharing snippets of my slow mornings, vlogs from quiet adventures, or essays about navigating transition, my hope is always the same: that you feel less alone in your becoming.
Because I write for the woman who feels like she’s outgrown her old life but isn’t sure what comes next.
If that’s you, you’re not lost. You’re becoming.
And you don’t have to do it alone. I’ll be here, doing it with you.
Soft pace. Bold choices. Building a life that finally feels like mine — and maybe yours, too.
Are you with me?
