That one day I’d slow down.

 

That I’d eventually make space for the life outside of work—the one that looked like slow mornings, deep conversations, and building something beyond my career.


But time didn’t pause.


And neither did I.

​

​I was in it—the momentum, the pressure, the long hours that turned into years. Work wasn’t just what I did; it became who I was. The idea of pressing pause? Unthinkable. The thought of adding a family or a slower pace to my life?

 

Impossible.

I used to believe I'd have time....

So I told myself a story: Not now. Maybe later.

​​​​Later, when the projects slow down.

Later, when I finally feel “ready.”

Later, when I don’t have to choose between success and a life outside of it.

 

But later never comes on its own. And I realised that if I didn’t create a life with space for what mattered, no one was going to give it to me.

 

So I built something different.

I built my own business.

 

One that didn’t demand all of me.

One that allowed me to breathe.

One that made space for both ambition and ease, for success and a slower way of living.​

​

Now...

I wake up with work I love on my terms. I have time for the people I care about. I’m building a career that fits into my life, not the other way around.

success isn’t just about how much we accomplish. It’s about whether or not we have the space to live.

because the truth is...

I help over-scheduled and overwhelmed women figure out how to rest and make more space for what they truly want.

Helping you become The Rested Woman is what I absolutely love doing when I’m not snuggling with my cats in bed, coffee in hand, watching the sunrise with my partner, scrunching my toes in the sand of the nearest beach or​

watering my houseplants (I have more plants than furniture!).​

If your life is anything like mine was, even on a peaceful Sunday morning, you’re not able to be truly present to enjoy your coffee.

 

And that tiny bit of peace you could have - you feel guilty for taking it; there’s so much more to be done, so many people who want you to solve their problems and fill their cups with your bright can-do energy. But your cup is quickly running dry.

 

High-functioners like us can run on empty with a smile for a really long time...before we break.
 
But we do break.

​

It might look like losing focus, or losing patience.

It might look like feeling sick or tired (or sick and tired).

It might look like a loss of self.

 

It’s the kind of soul-weariness that doesn’t get better with sleep, self-care routines, or occasional holidays—you’re still running on empty and dreaming of a simpler life.

I believe that's your spirit whispering to get your attention.

If you’re here, I bet you’d like to re-evaluate your relationship with the ‘’shoulds’’ and...

01.

Feel free to rest and fill all the way back up, without apology

03.

Create small pockets of space to make room for what you really want

02.

Make a few changes to turn chaotic burnout into simple living

This is what I do now.
This is how I live.

It's the work I give my heart and soul. Helping other women clear their physical and mental space to reclaim what matters to them.

"Working with Steph helped me realise how crazy busy my life was. I never put myself first but I’m finally learning how to make ME a priority. 

 

I also had wayyy too much stuff in my house, especially my kids toys and it was making myself and my kids way too stressed and overstimulated. We have removed so much clutter from our life and it’s made things so much easier! My kids are even calmer. 

 

Steph was always understanding and didn’t judge me."

I would like to take a moment to pay my respects and acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which we are all based. I thank the elders, past and present, for helping us to shape our views of the world. 

 

I also want to show respect to the land, its minerals, and waterways. It is their existence that has allowed us to come together in this virtual space and connect today. I hope that I can use this connection to nature in a meaningful and purposeful way during our time together.
