Welcome To Your Village

I'm Krystal; A rural Alberta mom navigating multiple messy seasons of life simultaneously. I have a passion for research, supporting others, and sharing resources that can lighten the load of parents and professionals who are carrying it all-often at the expense of their own well being.

This Canadian based community is your support system filled with practical resources, recommendations, & honest insights to help parents and professionals navigate everyday challenges. A safe space away from the noise and negativity of social media where we can slow the pace, share the load, and pursue the best versions of ourselves while keeping mental health at the forefront of our journey.

Whether you are raising good humans, navigating midlife, a toxic career, or rediscovering your purpose after a career change-welcome.

Hold the reins & enjoy the ride!
