Because your thoughts should never be what is keeping your fondest goals as these vague and elusive things, playing the adult version of "I'm not touching you" - dancing in your periphery, taunting you with their sing-song voices.
I'm Ready!
I'm Ready!
This is the part where I adjust your car seat, scooching it forward just an inch and sliding that driver-side rear window down a tad.
Until...
Perfect top-down hair.
I've been there, I see you and I'm here to walk with you.
No more locks blowing into an unsolvable tangle. No more tendrils slapping your face (and don't tell anyone, but somehow making their way into your mouth).
Just sunshine, open roads, flowing hair and that bottle of Riesling you tossed in the backseat.
Proof that we're all just one small adjustment away from making our lives work.
You can see why I thought of this for you (can't you)?
The self-care soulmate & mindset sidekick you never knew you needed. I might be pocket-sized, but I help Leading Ladies, such as yourself ensure their stories are daily becoming ones they are proud to walk within. I may not be able to reach that shelf, but I will make sure you reach your fondest goals.
Yes, Let's Do It!

Slipping into your new mindsets should be as delicious as slipping on a cashmere sweater.
Did you know that you spend 46.9% of your time day-dreaming or off with the faeries? This astonishing statistic is brought to you by the phrases Circe's barnyard!, La vache! & Donn Cúailnge and Finnbhennach! (and the folks at Harvard University). It turns out those subterranean thoughts you have playing in the background, have a much larger impact then you thought.
Because Stories Style Your Mindset
I Want Stories!
I grew up at my great-grandmother's elbow (yes elbow, who grows up at someone's knee?) hearing the tales of Cú Chulainn and Reynard the Trickster Fox, as I watched her whip up madeleines, rabbit stew and Carrageen moss pudding.
During these hours, I traversed oceans and eons and I learned that stories are identity; they build your world. Mythology and Folklore. Fairy Tales and Legends. These are the narratives that construct the corridors you walk. And as you walk in your own adventures, they come alongside you - as play-mates, friends, confidantes, mentors.
Stories are at once ancient and immediate. In short, they are truth.
And they gift you with a living library - a visceral and incandescent resource, which allows you to navigate any challenge or opportunity you encounter (out there in the woods).
And so, just as my meals became bookended with Ricard's and Thompson's, my identity is buttressed by the words of Lady Gregory and Charles Perrault.
Come Sit a Spell by the Fire
Food is what we gather around. A ritual in the rhythm of my life. These moments, these memories are centered around giving my full presence; to others, to myself, to my senses, the now, the here. Moments tethered to the delight and depth of connection.
Meals
In a very "You got Gallic in my Gaelic" kind of way, I balance keeping strong the traditions of; harp & hearth, kettle & colcannon, lilt & laughter, Bransfield & Bonny with l'art de vivre inherent in soirées & stationery, grenadine & Gruyère, liberté & La Perla, de Beauvoir & Bardot.
French-Irish Heritage
Is it any surprise that the liminal works of Arthur Rackham & the piercing melodic hues of Maxfield Parrish draw me into them and pepper my consciousness?
Golden Age of Illustration
Growing up listening to Spike Jones murdering the classics, I still enjoy the crackle of a record. Besides is there anything better then the ethereal voice of Julie Fowlis or the Caribbean joie de vivre of zouk, inviting you to twirl barefoot through your living room on those dry shampoo, cold tea, rock-about palazzo days?
Records
Goethe spoke truth; architecture is collective stories made physical. A shared identity captured within stone, glass & mortar that you live within. It laughs, it breathes, it hurts with us and just as stories did, it held our memories and communicated our truth long before the printing press could do so.
Architecture
~ Trust in Open-Heartedness to Attract What is Seeking You ~
~ If You See Something Beautiful In Someone Let Them Know ~
~ Vent About Your Joy ~
~ Assume Support ~
~ Don’t Hesitate ~
~ Give Freely ~
~ Listen Deeply ~
~ Be An Embodied Prayer of Gratitude ~
~ Be the Leading Lady of Your Story ~
