At the time of writing this, it is the last day of the Lionsgate Portal, which for those of us who invest in the woo side of things, means that it's the best time of year to manifest. Hear me out though for a second. Manifestation isn’t about wishing on a star and waiting for Disney magic. It’s about choosing how you want to show up in the world and actively participating in your own growth. It's adding structure to unlock freedom. And no one needed this reminder lately more

As the owner and founder of Slow Living Solutions—and your [soon-to-be] mentor —you’re probably wondering how I found myself in this line of work and why my background makes me uniquely qualified to guide you on your life crafting journey. Let me take you on a little trip through my story.

Welcome to Slow Living Solutions, nestled in the storybook town of Staunton, Virginia. If you’d told me a decade ago that I’d end up here—crafting a life and a business rooted in intentionality and legacy—I probably would have laughed. And yet, here I am. The journey wasn’t linear or predictable. Honestly? It was the opposite. But that’s the magic of choosing to live on purpose.

Let’s be real: you didn’t stumble in here by accident. Maybe you’ve felt the quiet tug that your days aren’t quite your own. Maybe you’re tired of the old “live to work” script and craving something deeper—something that feels like you. If you’re here, you’re likely ready to stop running on autopilot and start making intentional choices that reflect what truly matters to you.
