Get ā€˜Journal Your Way Through Change’ FREE!

As accomplished women, we know the difference between a life that looks fulfilling and one that feels intentional. Creating an intentional, inspiring life for ourselves inevitably involves change or reassessment. To help you, I’ve put together this FREE guide.

This powerful, complimentary journal helps you bridge the gap between who you are and who you are becoming - allowing you to think about what matters most to you today and who you want to be tomorrow. It is your starting point for embracing change with grace and purpose - from simple shifts to profound transformations. .

Your Pillars of Intentional Living

Life stretches ahead of you, full of potential, but the daily grind has drained your vitality and obscured your true passions. You’d like to make some changes but you’re stalled in the loop of either not knowing your direction or not being able to take action.

You are in the right place

What makes up a good life is of course subjective! But to help you embrace your new philosophy of living, Milk & Wood is a space based around four pillars of midlife flourishing where we can explore what makes a life feel as good on the inside as it looks on the outside, in a lighthearted but meaningful way.

Your Pillars of Intentional Living

Mindful Wellness - finding anchor moments of peace & purpose in the everyday and cultivating practices & using tools that sustain your energy and focus your mind

Curated Style - building a confident wardrobe & stylish home that speaks to who you are now

Friendships and Connections - nurturing the deep connections that sustain and support you & investing in the powerful & enriching community of women

Inquisitive Living & Travel - Ignite your intellect and creativity and make lifelong learning a joyful habit that feeds your inherent curiousity

A Life Unfolding

Like you, I’ve been many things to many people. Journalist, creative entrepreneur, mother, globetrotter, friend, partner and more…….Ā 

I’m at a point in life where I’d like to leave some of the labels behind to find a path that is more authentically me. I’ll share my journey of building a life in Switzerland, my travels, embracing writing once again, the discoveries I make along the way and the inspirational people I meet. I’d like to inspire other women to start their own new chapters big or small and to remember that life is for living and having fun! We haven’t seen or done it all yet and there is no time like the present to hit reset….

The Digital Hub

Over time I hope to set up a Digital Hub to help you access the tools, inspiration and frameworks you need to deepen your journey within the four pillars.

I’ll draw on my life experience & love of colour and style, journalism, travel knowledge, and coaching wisdom to help you immediately elevate your intentional life.

The Journal: Initially you can follow me & read my blog ā€˜The Journal’ where I’ll keep you updated and you can find inspiration, travel discoveries from Switzerland & beyond, style tips, wellness motivation and reflections on friendships & community building. This is your essential read for living intentionally
