About the Sweet Escape

Hey there, fellow freedom seekers and well-being enthusiasts! Welcome to The Sweet Escape, where we embark on a journey of self-discovery, to find balance and harmony in this crazy modern world.

As a bibliophile-bookworm and writer, I believe that stories shape the human experience. The stories we all carry within us have the power to unite us and inspire change where it’s needed.

In this space, I'm not holding back. It's about being real and candid—sharing the good, the bad, and everything in between. From the food phobias of my early years and more recent triumph over sugar addiction to my new life as a writer, soon-to-be tiny-house dweller, and enthusiastic camper van-er, I'm here to connect with you through our shared experiences.

Freedom is the essence of "The Sweet Escape." It's not just about food—though that’s where my story began—it's about breaking free from the chains that hold us back so we can find our version of freedom and lead lives that resonate with our deepest desires and soul-self.

What to expect?

Through this publication, I'll share personal stories, insights, and experiences that have shaped my life so far, plus snippets of my creative writing, and the occasional interview and guest post. From in-depth articles around well-being topics close to my heart to camper van adventures and my journey as a writer, I'll take you along for the ride! I’m a woman of many passions, so I'll also touch on slow/seasonal living, food/nutrition, plant-based cooking, and the mindset required to carve your way in this world.

But this isn't just about me—it's about us. It's about building a community of like-minded souls who seek balance and positive transformation. While I hope my writing will inspire you to find your own freedom, enhance your well-being, and escape to a sweeter, more fulfilling life, I love hearing other people’s stories too! So, I wholeheartedly invite you to contribute to community chat threads to make meaningful connections beyond the words on these pages.

Together, let’s build a supportive community where we share stories, resources, wisdom, and encouragement. We'll lift each other up, empowering one another to lead the lives of our dreams, happy, healthy, and content.

With gratitude,
