Bonjour, I’m Kelly.
I’m a writer, researcher, and advisor living in an old stone house in Provence—with three kids I gave birth to, three more I lucked into, and a cozy home office corner overlooking a lavender field. I’m the author of The MINE Books: Volumes 1 and 2 (2024), and my work centers on one thing: what happens when the life you’ve known no longer quite fits, but what comes next hasn’t taken shape yet.
For over 15 years, I’ve helped people who rarely ask for help through change and uncertainty.
Those hard moments that don’t come with a manual—birth, death, diagnosis, midlife, a change in identity, the end of a relationship or career, a role that no longer fits, or simply the realization that the life you’ve built isn’t working in quite the same way anymore. You’ve read the books, stayed strong, done it all—or you’ve dropped the balls, fallen apart, and done the bare minimum. Either way, you find yourself somewhere you didn’t expect to be, unsure how to move forward from wherever this is.
My work is for the space between what was and what comes next.
Some changes are chosen. Others arrive without permission—or warning. Both bring a stretch of time when the old ways of understanding yourself no longer fit and the new ones haven’t formed yet.
That in-between time doesn’t need to be optimized, hacked, or hurried through. Sometimes, it needs another person across from you who can listen closely, ask the question you haven’t thought to ask, challenge you when you need it, and stay with you while you find your own way forward.
Just because you can do it all alone, doesn’t mean you should.
If something in your life is shifting and you’re not quite sure what to do with it yet, this is the work I do.
