Some seasons of life ask more of us than we ever expected.

We become the dependable one. The person who keeps everything moving. From the outside it looks like we have it all together, but inside we feel exhausted. We second guess ourselves, feel guilty for slowing down, and keep telling ourselves we'll focus on us when life finally settles down.

The truth is, maybe you haven't lost your confidence at all.
Maybe you've simply spent so long surviving that you've forgotten what it feels like to trust yourself.

That is why I created The Unbound Confidence Method.

It isn't about becoming someone different. It's about finding your way back to yourself. It's about learning to quiet the noise, trust your own voice again, create healthier boundaries, and build a life that feels peaceful instead of constantly overwhelming.

If you're reading this and thinking, "This sounds like me," I'd love to hear from you.
Send me a message or comment **UNBOUND**. I'd love to share more and see if it's the right fit for where you are.

16 years married - holy Dyna!

It’s hard to believe we are old enough to have been married this long 😂

If you ever hear me talk about my husband, you know I am as real as it comes.

Marriage is not: rainbows, butterflies, floating high in the sky

Marriage is: sticking through hard times, facing conflict, having each others back, being respectful, thoughtful and considerate, and also driving each other mad

I am by no means a perfect wife. My husband sees the worst of me. We have grown together in so many ways but also have grown as people.

We have different political, environmental, and religious views.

We share family values, the desire to grow and do better, to build a legacy, in hard work, and loyalty.

And a funny thing, I was looking at our vows a couple weeks ago. They were so vague 😂 Like clearly we had no clue what we were signing up for in language. But in our hearts I know we felt the same pull to one another.

Sometimes the mind and heart do not align. I joke that if I met Jason today I wouldn’t pick him as my partner. Maybe that’s the whole point. Who we are meant to be with (yes I am a romantic) isn’t who we “think” we are supposed to be with.

I can say without a doubt I wouldn’t be where I am without his support. My dad, my son, my business, my spirit, have all needed him.

I love you Jason. Stay safe fighting the wildfires today 💛

Ok hear me out.
What does it mean to have your wings clipped?
Just like a duck needs full feathers to fly, having clipped wings means you’re unable to live into your full potential.
Ducks needs their feathers.
Humans need confidence.

When someone takes our confidence through opinions, expectations, pressure, or hurt we loose our ability to do our best work. Live our best life.

It’s this feeling of being stuck. We blame circumstances, people, the economy but beneath all of it are our limiting beliefs.

These limiting beliefs freeze you in a fog. Unable to see a path forward, but it doesn’t need to have this control over you.

The first step is awareness.

Let’s work together and find your clipped feathers.

It’s hard to believe how quickly three years has passed.

2023 - we were living Bowins bucket list before his bone marrow transplant. A fun way for us to spend the time waiting on his donor cells, and a way for us to make the best of time not knowing if he would make it.

As a parent, no one wants to talk to their child about hard things like dying but it’s not a choice when they are facing something that feels impossible.

It would have been easy for us to be defeated, to feel overcome with big emotions. But after years of battling disease, fighting with hospitals, going to therapy, the transplant felt controlled and methodical.

We are coming up to three years post transplant, just passed 1000 days. Today we are living our best life in a new town. We have a hobby farm where we have fresh eggs, baby ducks, lots of room to explore and play and live in the best areas of BC for adventure.

We are both now self employed and get to choose our time. It’s wild.

I used to be called stubborn, bossy, all kinds of things. I call it my superpower.

This thing that was “unliked” saved my kid and gave hope to my family. Ultimately listening to my inner knowing meant that our family could achieve things we never dreamed of.

Have hope friends. Be kind.
