Hi-I'm Krystal

A Canadian mom, former professional, and aspiring writer who is simultaneously navigating motherhood, midlife, and rediscovery after burnout. A self proclaimed research fanatic, I am passionate about sharing reflections, resources, & reviews with other Canadian women who are working hard to become the healthiest versions of themselves.

For over two decades I subscribed to hustle culture and relentlessly chased my goal of becoming an independent career woman, only to be blindsided by professional burnout in 2023 that left my mental and physical health in shambles.

Recovery while turning 40 & parenting a toddler has been messy, real, and transformative. But through that struggle, I began to hold the reins of my own life again. This space is born from that journey. It’s for parents and professionals who feel overwhelmed but still show up every day, who need validation, a community to lean on, and practical insights for finding peace amid the chaos.

Here, I share real life resources, Canadian product reviews, and encouragement for women in midlife who feel like they’re doing it all without a village. I will speak honestly about mental health, burn out + recovery, motherhood in midlife, embracing the slow life, and my own journey of redefining my purpose after an unexpected career change.

If you’ve ever felt like you were holding it all together while barely holding on-Welcome!

You are not alone.

Krystal
