Wife. Mama. Writer. Coach. Community Builder.
You deserve to live a life you love—and I’m here to help you create just that.
Life is better together.
Hey friend, I’m so pumped you’re here! I’m Haley—here to be your personal hype gal for every day encouragement and rolling through life with honesty—and probably a little oversharing. Wife, first time mama, writer, coach and community builder are just a few of the hats I’m proud to wear in this wild ride we call adulting.
I used to be a certified workaholic and proud perfectionist. Today, I’m doing everything in my power to break free of the hustle culture and unhealthy limiting beliefs that used to drive my life—and I’m here to help you do the same.
Girl friend, life is too dang short to be in the backseat. You deserve a life that is joyful, fulfilling and full of self-love. I’m living proof that a regular person can cultivate a life that is exciting without vicious cycles of burnout and overwhelm.
When I’m not working or creating, you can usually find me at livestock shows with my husband, adventuring with as a family of three, loving on our two pups Brew and Apollo, working out or binging reality TV. If you love Master Chef, the Bachelorette or the Office—yes, I’m aware that’s a very diverse line up—we already have something in common.
I love a good book and perfect patio weather. I’m a sucker for travel. In my opinion, you can never go wrong with a cold craft beer. I’m a Florida-native-turned-Oklahoma-transplant. I am an absolute weeny when it comes to eating anything spicy—I know, it’s lame. I’ve considered myself a writer ever since I won a young author’s contest in the first grade with short book I wrote about a horse.
I’m chatty, quirky, competitive, direct and deeply invested in making life feel less lonely. More than anything, I’m just so grateful you’re here. Welcome to a little slice of my world. Come as you are—all are welcome here. I can’t wait to get to know you better!
The meaning of tough love.
As a young kid, I remember my mom saying “honey, this is a lesson in tough love.” It was usually because it was something I didn’t want to hear, but desperately needed to learn. It was a moment of pivotal self-growth—a metaphorical fork in the road, if you will.
Over my lifetime, tough love has become a part of who I am.
I love the phrase tough love. At first glance, the word tough—defined as strong enough to withstand adverse conditions or able to endure hardship or pain—seems stern and rigid to accompany a word like love. Love can jostle all kinds of thoughts and feelings like affection, tenderness, care, admiration, pleasure, but together, the two words offer something bold and beautiful.
Tough love is the stern, passionate type of care you express or show someone with no agenda other than advocating for that person’s best interest. Tough love is part of how I was raised and a thought pattern I fully intend to share because I know that tough love can take you from stuck to fulfilled, from comfortable to expansive, and from critical to self-loving.
Tough love means I want what’s best for you, always. It means I’m not afraid of honesty. It means I will always challenge what we’ve known in the spirit of open-mindedness and self awareness. Tough love means every experience is a learning opportunity. Tough love means I will always be your friend, cheerleader and no-BS mentor—even when life wants to knock us down.
Tough love won’t be for everyone, but I promise tough love can benefit anyone. I believe to live a life unlike the majority, we have to work at it. But with a little encouragement, accountability, and the occasional kick-in-the-ass-when-we-need-it-most—our dream life is attainable, without hustling our lives away.
