Hi! I'm Renee!
I'm a busy mom who LOVES using mindless-creativity to easily calm my mind, ignite my joy and savor life.
But, most of all, I'm a busy mom who now knows that if I want to connect to my JOY, if I want to slow down and SAVOR everything that fills me UP with LOVE, my mind has to BE CALM first.
And getting my creativity on does just that..which is way easier to do through creativity than anything else I've ever tried (especially when all my adult responsibilities are constantly calling my name!).
My Free Gift To You
Want a visually guided eBook, that shows you step-by-step, of HOW (and why!) I easily use mindless-creativity to FEEL more calm (so I can connect to MY JOY and slow down + savor my life more!) , even when I only have 10 minutes or less to spare?
You'll be well on your way to being a more calm, happy and present mom that you're meant to be...guaranteed!
(The entire family can benefit from this eBook, too!).
Who And Why I Inspire
I inspire busy and stressed-out moms, who are just like me, to easily use mindless-creativity...
uplifting handwriting
Why handwriting?
Because when you write a word in cursive, that makes you feel calm or JOYful, and then add your own creative fun to it, your mind slows down, you become more present and you feel more uplifted throughout the day, no matter how stressful and busy it may be. Cursive (uplifting!) writing is an easy way to calm your thoughts and soothe your soul.
doodling + painting
Why doodling and painting?
Because when you don't have to think much about creating the 'perfect' picture or painting (this isn't about being an artist and requires no creative talent!), your mind easily calms, your 'this is fun' thoughts bloom, you start to smile BIG, you feel like a kid again and suddenly you're reminded of everything that brings you JOY and lights YOU up with love.
photography
Why photography?
Life moves fast, so it's easy to see moments you love and keep going. Or, you’re too in your head that you don't even see them at all. So when a moment makes you smile and you pull out your camera, you stop doing the dishes, you get into the present moment and you focus, 100%, on the JOY feeling that moment is bringing you even more.
to help them feel more calm, relaxed and joyful so they can slow down and BE more present to their kids, their soulmate and to their life, no matter how busy and stressful their mama-filled day may be.
My Story
I'm one very busy, very joyful and very stressed-out mom. I have two little kiddos (a big sis and a lil' bro) and I'm married to my college sweetheart (GO GATORS!) who's in the military (Coast Guard!) and moves us every few years or so (talk about stress, but also LOTS of inner growth, too!! Oh yeah!!).
I'm a Journalism degree graduate who became an elementary school teacher who then became a Holistic Health Coach to now a Creatively Fit Coach.
But most of all, I'm someone who FINALLY found the easiest way to calm my mind, ignite my joy and savor my life, no matter how stressful my busy mama life may be...through mindless CREATIVITY!!
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not 100% calm all the time. Every day I still have moments that make me want run away to my pre-mom life and never look back. Ha!
But, for years, I tried it all...yoga, meditation, exercise, organic foods, slow walks in nature, bubble baths, swirling Chinese medicine balls in my hands (all are great and most I still do!), and still struggled (but not anymore!).
When I reconnected with my inner toddler with crayons, colored pencils, markers, paints and even my camera (when I first became a mom!), not only did I (finally!) find the inner calm and inner peace I'd been yearning and searching for all those years, but I also found my inner JOY again...JOYs I knew I already had and JOYs that I didn't even know existed.
I had no idea that giving my left brain (worry, over-thinking and stressful thoughts) a much needed break with right brain (all is well, all is calm, all is fun thoughts!), kid-like, creative fun would end my struggle (and keep me sane as a busy mom!) and would BEcome the easiest way for me to dissolve the heaviness of my inner world so I could FEEL and BE more of the (inner!) calm and (inner!) JOYful mom I so desperately wanted to BE!
And I grew up, never, EVER, thinking I was creative! ;)
I don't create to become a professional artist. I create because it's the #1 way that I've found to EASILY calm the stress of my mind and connect me to my inner-most JOYs and LOVEs and keep me there!

Before You Go
I'd like to thank you for taking time out of your busy day to connect with me here, and I'd like to share one last thing with you.
My creativity didn't always look the way it does now.
When I first started, my mind was very stressed-out and full of 'I'm NOT creative' thoughts. But, what I came to find, is that the more time I made time to mindlessly create, the more I FELT and SAW the calming and joyful benefits within me and the more my inner, creative self soared.
Here's what my uplifting words looked like when I first started to now.
Here's what my doodle paintings looked like when I first started to now.
And, lastly, here's what my photos looked like when I first started to now.
Please don't look at my work and think you could never do the same. It's NOT about creating something perfect or creating something someone else has done.
It's about creating something unique to YOU that'll help you FEEL more calm so YOU can slow down and BE more present, more joyful and more creative again, like you were when you were a kid, and how you're meant to BE, no matter your age.
So if you're like me and you really, REALLY, want to FEEL more calm and you've tried it all with very little success (yoga, mediation, journaling, organic foods, slow walks in nature, etc.) then keep following along.
Because what I know for sure, doing simple, kid-like, creative activities that I talk about here, will definitely help you get there.
This is just the door opener. Once your mind calms in this creative way, you'll be amazed at what comes through YOU all while connecting more to what makes YOU smile big.
