01 · Starting Over

Starting over at 45

I've faced family disappointments, I've battled depression, and I've started over more than once. At 45 I'm still writing the story, one honest page at a time.

45 and Still Writing the Story

There's a particular kind of birthday that makes you pause, not because you feel old, but because you finally have enough runway behind you to look back and see the shape of things.

02 · Soul Care & Journaling

Slow down. Write it out.

Self-care is not a luxury or a bubble bath. It's the practice of checking in with yourself before life forces you to.

03 · Caribbean Solo Travel

Go somewhere that feels like you

Trinidad & Tobago is home. Grenada is my parents' island, where I spent a birthday driving through nearly every parish with my aunt.

Why I Keep Choosing Solo Travel

I enjoy traveling with people, but I've learned that I don't always need company to have a good trip. Sometimes I just want to go, take my time, and enjoy it my way.

04 · Building a Creative Life

What I'm learning, building it myself

The honest side of the story: what it's really like to build a creative life on my own terms, and everything I'm figuring out as I go.

Meet the writer

Hi, I'm Leslieann.

I'm a writer, a solo traveler, a podcast host, and a consultant who believes your life doesn't have to look like anyone else's to be worth celebrating.

I write for whoever needs it today: the person starting over, the one in the quiet middle, the one who just needs to hear that they aren't behind. Words carried me through hard seasons, and journaling is where I did the real work. I kept looking for a journal that asked the right questions and never found one, so I made them myself.
