Hi, I’m Celeste.

Can I tell you why I think your big dreams matter?

 
 

I was a little girl with gigantic dreams.

I wanted to be a doctor, a writer, a world traveler, someone who made a big difference and loved life in a big way.

I bet you can relate.

Those big dreams wouldn’t leave me alone.

I grew up, went off to college, got married, started my career, and became a mother.

Still, I kept hearing a voice say. . .

“What if there’s more?”

So I started traveling. A lot.

I moved my career online, moved my family into an Airstream, and traveled full-time for 7 years exploring national parks and visiting 49 states in the USA & roadschooling our kiddos & roadtripping all over the place.

We loved it.

We felt like kids again, finally pursuing our biggest dreams.

All of a sudden, I found myself in need of a lot of healing.

My old faith wounds grew into chasms.

I lost my mom to cancer and learned how short life truly is.

My husband had a big health scare and I started feeling the effects of years of ignoring my own anxiety and mental health needs.

My career stalled.

We tried to live on a catamaran and failed.

Homeschooling & Worldschooling wasn’t as easy & fun with older kids.

I felt like I was losing myself.

So I made some big changes.

I went back to school for my master’s degree.

I hiked a lot.

I fell in love with time spent alone & my daily yoga practice.

I moved my career into self-employment waters (& loved it).

I dove into nutrition & vegetarianism.

I expanded my faith.

I learned about my own unconscious biases and how those were holding me back from so much.

I read a lot of great books.

I grew.

I kept growing.

I moved my family out of our Airstream and into a little cabin in the forest in the place where we all felt the most alive—right beside our favorite national park.

I fell into personal growth & found a community of women who thrive.

I did a lot of research with stories from people living their big dreams.

I chatted with big dreamers every Friday morning over email.

I kept learning.

I dug into the philanthropy community through my consulting work and now get to work with a lot of fantastic humans making a difference all over the globe.

I started writing & publishing my own books for big dreamers.

When I felt powerless, I dug into the research & resources deeper.

Then, I started writing a blog to share the books and resources that have helped me & so many others redefine our lives and go after our biggest dreams.

Now, I want to be here for you.

I think the world needs every single one of us living our biggest dreams or else we miss out on so much.

So. . .

I host a Friday morning book club over email.

I design and host women’s retreats in Bar Harbor, Maine and Acadia National Park.

I write books about how to pursue your biggest, brightest, scariest dreams.

& I’d love to have you along for the ride

This is the year.

This is your year.

This is the only year we know we’ve got.

Want to come along for the ride?
