It was meant to be danced, scribbled, savored.
After 15 years climbing the corporate ladder (hello burnout), I stepped off. Not with a perfect plan, but with one big messy question: is there another way to live?
Life at Play is where I’m figuring that out in real time — unlearning hustle, sharing stories from extraordinary neighbors, and fumbling through motherhood, entrepreneurship, and slowing down (while sometimes just staying afloat).
I live in Serenbe — this weird, wonderful little wellness town in the woods of Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia — where people are experimenting with slow living and creative community. Think artists, healers, dreamers… and chickens (mine).
Even if you’ve never set foot in Serenbe, what I share here is really about something we all crave — a slower, richer, more intentional life. And freakin’ fun while we’re at it.
This isn’t a self-help guide. God no.
It’s part diary, part group chat, part local guide to Serenbe & Chatt Hills — a digital porch swing for anyone rethinking success and craving connection.
For the ones who did it all “right” and still feel wrong. For the high-achievers burned out on hustle. For the moms who lost themselves in the noise.
Here, we cry, manifest, and laugh too loud.
We choose play over perfection. Intuition over expectation. Woo and weirdness over “what will they think.”
Because life wasn’t meant to be perfect — it’s meant to be felt.
Honest stories: motherhood, reinvention, and the chaos + clarity of slowing down.
Nature-inspired rituals: woo, weirdness, and weekly pauses to keep you grounded.
Creative experiments: the kind that help you redefine success, community, and what a good life feels like.
Local magic: events, hidden gems, and neighbors doing ridiculously cool things in Serenbe + Chatt Hills.
And maybe, a little reminder that we can use tools like AI and journaling for mindful living — not to escape life, but to reconnect with what’s real.

We’d love to feature you in our local business directory or share your event on the community calendar.
