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.
