Welcome to Flourish & Flow

Spark creativity, ignite joy, restore energy

I'm Vanessa—a newly minted 50-year-old writer, certified life coach, and longtime homeschooling mama to three teens. You can learn a bit more about me here.

After years of newsletters and Instagram posts, I'm ready to explore a different creative space that feels more intentional and less tethered to social media's constraints.

Here, I'll write about navigating midlife motherhood, embracing menopause (unapologetically), nurturing creativity, and finding those essential moments of joy in our daily lives.

While I have ideas brewing, I'm giving myself permission to let this space evolve organically through writing, community, and genuine connection.

What you'll find here:

Connection and Creativity: Writing, creative exploration, and honest conversations about midlife.

Practical-ish Magic: Real strategies for navigating life's transitions.

Rhythm & Rituals: Seasonal wisdom and simple practices to restore your energy.
