RENEE LOUISE
I'm a magic believing, highest-vision holding, Mum of two. I spend my days home-schooling the kids whilst finding time to create things that excite me.
Miracles are the norm, while gratitude and responsibility are my foundation. I've come to learn that life is a never ending journey, and I'm okay with that - most of the time.
Here's what I know to be true: learning to trust ourselves is learning to trust life, and that is some seriously powerful stuff.
I write stories built on truth. It's imperative to me that my stories have depth and connection. From fiction, poetry, children's picture books and memoirs, I've got a lifetime of stories waiting to be told.
I speak on small stages in intimate settings. Real conversations that don't shy away from the reality of what it takes to create change.
I mentor those who are ready to wield their words and take responsibility for them. Whether you're writing a book or rewriting the story of your life, I can help you find your truth.
my story ...
in a nutshell
I become an adult who doesn't know how to self-regulate, pushes everything under the proverbial rug & replays the shittiest patterns - assuming that's just life.
Life precedes to explode.
And not in a good way. The self-hatred is destroying me, my marriage & my motherhood. Basically, I'm fucked.
I spend a decade working my ass off unravelling everything holding me back from being ME. Pretty much climbed a mountain whilst on fire.
Still working on my shit, but it's chill now. No more spiritual bashing or holier than thou. Just love and kindness - most of the time, (I still lose my cool every now and then).
QUESTIONS I'M CURRENTLY ASKING MYSELF
AM I MISSING THE POINT? Sure, I've created this epic way of homeschool life, I've fallen in love with myself, I've made it to all the places I've worked hard for, I know how to find peace in my heart, most days I remember to respond rather than react... but what if none of this is the point of life? What if there's something else for me to engage with? Something more fluid than this. This is what stirs in my heart right now.
WHOSE JOB IS IT? If I can regulate and process my emotions with relative ease, then is it automatically my responsibility when others cannot? I wonder about this when it comes to my interactions - with strangers, my family, my friends, my children, my husband - I think I'll have a lot to say on this in book #2.
HOW WOULD I DO IT IF NO ONE WAS WATCHING? I recently began a social media hiatus because I wasn't entirely sure the things I shared and the way I went about my business weren't being influenced by others, or my own comparisons. I'm curious to see how I interact without the possibility of "the world" watching.
