When I first started coaching women, officially, I noticed a pattern, they were already juggling so much. Like myself, they were balancing family, work, and all of life’s endless demands. The thought of adding one more thing to do to their already overwhelming list felt impossible.
My challenge was how to get the right tools in the right place without adding any additional pressure for them to achieve.
I was using proven tools but the application was messy. I’d offer worksheets, journals, books, and even some apps-but who had the time to pull from all of those places each week? They were looking for clarity and all I had to offer was what felt like more chaos.
Then something shifted. I started seeing ads for planners and journals that included things like self-care and habit trackers and all kinds of extras. This should have been an easy fix and I did try using one for a couple of years and hosting monthly planning sessions for accountability. But in the end, the tools weren't a good fit for my clients or for me.
So in the fall of 2020, while the world was standing still, I began sketching out the planner I needed but hadn’t found.
I wanted a space that held all the foundational coaching tools in one place. Something practical, of course beautiful, and rooted in grace.
A guide that worked hand in hand with a coach yet approachable enough that clients could work through it on their own.
And that’s how the Grace Filled Life Designer was born.

It started as a quarterly edition and focused on personal growth. After two years I realized most of my clients were using this as their planner and their coaching tool. Moving to an annual format saved time, reduced overwhelm, and created room for beauty like stickers, movable tabbed markers, and extra reflection pages.
Now allow me to introduce my favorite edition yet. (I say this every year, but I mean it.)
Bloom with Possibility marks the 12th edition!

(Image Mock-up...I will share actual images once they arrive from the printer. See website for details.)
Each edition grew with me, and with you. The themes reflected what I was learning right alongside you: presence, purpose, self-trust, and now, possibility.
This year's planner is the most cohesive and intentional guide yet. Every page flows with intention, beauty, and space for planning and peace.
For the first time, I’m offering a one-hour workshop to help you set up your Life Designer in a way that supports your season-plus there are coordinating sticker packs to keep you organized and inspired.
What began as a tool for my clients has become a movement of women designing their lives with intention, one page at a time.
When you know your why, you stop chasing balance and start designing your life with purpose.
Order yours today, and grab one for a friend who needs this kind of encouragement in her season. (Links provided for your convenience but feel free to browse my site to see other offers)
Have the best week! Be intentional and always, be kind.
Much love,




Let’s gooooooooo! I can’t wait for this one! You are a gift.
