Life is flying. Simply flying.

I want to live it as fully as I can, with as much intention as I can. I want to get to the end of this journey, be able to look back, + be able to say to myself “damn, that was good.”

I want to look at death fearlessly + know that when I’m asked by our good creator, “what did you do with this one wild + precious life”, I’ll be able to respond with “everything I possibly could.”

From my perspective, it doesn’t mean living flat out, trying to fit every experience in you could possibly dream of. It means being clear on who I am, what’s important to me, what I feel called to do, + steadfastly living towards the vision I hold for myself + my family.

I feel guided by two very solid questions.

These help me question as many social/societal norms we so easily fall into, + I know I’m privileged enough to be able to do so.

Hi, I’m Mackenzie. Nice to meet you.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve wanted to make a difference. I’m a bit of a dreamer in that way. But as so often happens, somewhere along the way of navigating life, I lost touch with that desire + got caught up in Life. The busy-ness of it, the responsibilities, the expectations. Especially through early motherhood…it is so easy + completely normal to absolutely lose yourself.

My 20s was all about School. One degree…+ then another. Through my late 20s I was finishing my Interior Design degree, focused on lining up a Job, finding a Husband, getting started on My Life. My early 30s was all about that Dream Wedding, Starting a Family of my own, striving to be Successful in my Job.

[To be clear…the capitalized wording is intended to call out how distracting + all consuming those social norm Life Expectations are]

Then somewhere around my mid-30s, with my toddler somehow jumping from 0-3, + who the hell knew where those years went? I went from being on the Life Track to questioning what the hell I was doing with it all? I had this little of my own…+ was reading + learning + doing everything in my power to help him be his fullest little self…+ I realised…what kind of example was I setting for him to live his fullest life, if I had let myself become lost in the pursuit of AdultingTM.

Where was the art I loved to do? The photographs I loved to take? The piano I loved to play? The reading + writing? The people I wanted to help? The environment to save? Where was I?

Life is flying….FLYING.

+ I want to be clear + intentional with the life I want to live, not regretful over not living out this opportunity + gift of life as fully as I can. On my terms. At the end of it all, we’ll find life is too short to have lived it any other way.

This has been my journey so far. I want to step outside of day-to-day distractions + expectations. I take steps to live in alignment with my values + create a life on my terms. + I help women who feel stuck on their own Life treadmill do the same.

I am clear on my values, my life vision, how I want to experience the days I have here, + I’ve learned how to put this into practice + take action to make it real.
If this sounds like something you want for your life, I can help.

HOLISTIC LIVING CORNERSTONES

mind/body/spirit

Inextricably intertwined, balance + wellness can’t exist unless all three of these parts of us are well.

home + heart people

Our belonging starts within + is made tangible in our surroundings. The people we spend time with, the spaces in which we build our life.

earth + community

We are all connected. By our energy. By our actions. My mother taught me to leave a place better than when I found it. I might not get it right every time, but my life purpose is to create impact that will leave the world a little better than when I found it…give back more than I was fortunate enough to receive.
