More food for the journey.
Welcome to the ALIP shop. These tools and resources are offered to help you put down deeper roots of self-awareness and self-compassion and then practice taking imperfect action to show up fully to your messy and beautiful life in every season.
10%+ of my profits are used to help fund an art scholarship in my son’s name to help reduce stigma and shame around living with mental illness/to honour the beauty of diversity, to programs that feed and otherwise care for people struggling with homelessness, addiction, or mental illness, and to initiatives that help Black, Indigenous, or Women of Colour start or grow small businesses. I live and work on Treaty 6 Territory.
If you are a member of a marginalized community or in a hard financial season, I invite you to use the coupon code I MATTER for 50% off of my mini-courses, course bundles, and printables sold on this website.
A note about my mini-courses: There are many factors in life that we do not control yet which impact our wellbeing, happiness, and overall life experience. My courses do not address concerns like economic disparity, oppression or injustice, or lack of access to community care. They also do not offer deep support for living with mental illness or trauma though I write through the lens of my own lived experience which includes struggle, suicide loss, and trauma.
They are a simple starting point to help you deepen self-awareness and self-compassion and begin taking imperfect action by building new ways of thinking and intentional habits or practices over which you do have a measure of control.
Although people often hire me as part of their care team, none of my work is for people in crisis or seeking professional mental health or medical support. One way of loving ourselves well is by asking for the help we need. Please ask for professional help if you’re struggling. You matter.

Journey to Freedom Mini-Course $57
Freedom involves honest questioning and the vulnerability and bravery to listen to our own responses. Less heeding other people’s voices and adding to our to-do lists in exchange for more inner work, reflection, yummy conversations, or soul-searching. Less grasping for certainty and more willingness to live the questions.

Rooted & Resilient Mini-Course $57
Resilience is the ability to successfully adapt or rebound following adversity or potentially traumatic life events or circumstances. We can consciously work to build resilience pro-actively, but resilience is also forged in the fire.
