What began as a private writing project has quietly become something much bigger.

Over the past several months, more and more women have found their way to Burned Out & Brave because something about it resonated with them.

Women who have been the strong one for a very long time.

The capable one.
The dependable one.
The one who keeps functioning under pressure, often at great personal cost.

I wrote this book for the woman who appears highly capable on the outside, but has been carrying more than most people realize.

The woman who became so accustomed to survival that exhaustion started to feel normal.

The woman who mistook endurance for strength.

And who is beginning to suspect that her life was never meant to require this much self-abandonment.

One of the central ideas in the book is this:

You are not broken.

You are likely depleted from carrying too much for too long.

Presale for Burned Out & Brave opens June 30, with the official launch following on July 7.

I have a feeling this book is going to find the women it was written for.

If you’d like to follow along as the book launches, you can join the mailing list at ambitiononline.ca, or drop your e-mail below.

Subscribers will receive presale access first.

What I am working on at the moment!

This work didn’t change, it matured.

Ambition Online has always included:

-movement
-nutrition
-hydration
-sleep
-accountability
-coaching

That part isn’t new.

What is new is how it’s used, and who it’s for.

This is no longer health coaching for optimization or goals.
It’s health coaching used as scaffolding during life disruption.

Here’s the difference:

Before:
Movement was about consistency
Nutrition was about improvement
Coaching was about progress

Now:
Movement is about regulation
Nutrition is about stabilization
Coaching is about clarity and self-leadership

The app supports the basics,
water, sleep, movement, nourishment

so your system can settle instead of compensate.

The clarity calls are where we:

• slow the noise
• organize what’s happening
• reduce emotional overload
• translate stress into next steps
• help you stay anchored while life is moving

This is for a very specific woman:
the one who can’t fall apart, but doesn’t want to live disconnected from herself either.

Same foundations.
Deeper psychology.
More precision.
More containment.

That’s the evolution.

If you’ve been holding it together for too long, this is your kind of support.

Still relevant

Did you know, you can still love someone that you don't talk to. Crazy right?
You can though.
You can still care for someone, but if you don't trust them or if their chances have run out with you, then you just need to love and pray for them from a distance. Don't keep them close.
Love ----> from over there. Send them ALL the Positive vibes.... from a distance 🛤 Protect your peace, but keep the love. THAT is .

I love watching my babies' personalities develop and seeing how different they are from one another.
Troy is the strong willed, wild one. He loves life and will take every opportunity to explore, which often leads to digging in the mud and other messy places which is why Extra Sensitive Wipes is always on our shopping list. It wipes up the mess making it an essential for a toddler like Troy! Cade on the other hand, although he’s only a baby he definitely has a much more
gentle nature than his older brother and of course, more sensitive, baby skin.
These wipes are used on both of my boys - wiping away spit up, nappy changes, muddy fingers and toes and so much more.
Babies are only babies once, and I feel that a very important part of raising children is to let them be children, messes included.
Enjoy yourself my boys, mama has got you covered!
