Hello, I’m Keri-Anne

Let me tell you about the whole mess before the wholeness

Because it got real messy there for a while… and my unconventional journey is what inspired The Daring to Suck Method, a 12-step guide to bless the mess and trust the process of healing and living your life unapologetically. 

Part 1: Daring to be me, unapologetically

My story really began at the age of eight when I sat my parents down, opened my mouth and threw a grenade into the centre of my family. Someone we loved and trusted had sexually abused me. 

What unfolded next would become the foundation of every pivotal moment in my life.

Even in their devastation they believed me. I was lucky. They heard me, saw me and even offered the chance for me to confront him in absolute safety and support. 

At eight years old, I dared to open my mouth again to tell a grown man whose literal job was to serve and protect how he had ruined everything. 

I spoke from my innocence and vulnerability and he crumbled in my presence. In that moment I discovered a power I’d never known. To be real, and true in myself was powerful. This power didn’t serve to hurt. It served to love and restore order from the chaos. It transmuted hurt into healing. 

Also true, I grew up in a loving home that involved alcoholism, guilt, obligation, codependency, narcissism, taking on roles that weren’t mine, and sacrificing my own needs for the comfort of others.

Instead of listening to my instincts (which weren’t that loud anyway), I chose the path of least resistance with “what SHOULD I do” guiding the way and ended up with what I thought I wanted – the good job, good money, good house, good car, good husband, good pregnancy…. You know, the cardboard cutout Life.

My life, relationships and work suddenly felt small and suffocating. With overwhelming suffering, I wondered how to change something I couldn’t even articulate? And where would I even start? I was so focused on the HOW without even naming the WHAT I was holding.

How could I even speak it? I’d made such a mess and didn’t know where to start, let alone ADMIT to myself what I sensed. So I waited. Hoping it would just change on it’s own.

My foundational lesson: There’s beauty in the mess.

 

Highlights include:

  • Leaving home at 18 to live in the UK with my narcissistic and emotionally abusive ex 
  • Returning home seven years later to rebuild a life from “empty shelves” 
  • Reclaiming my value, worth and establishing new agreements with myself to unexpectedly discover REAL LOVE “by accidentally” after losing my shit on a guy that dared to test my boundaries. 
  • Watching what I thought was the “life I was supposed to live” crumble before my eyes in a series of personal and professional shitstorms
  • Restoring and healing my Soul back to its “factory settings”  to leave the familiar and re-design every area of my life to reclaim my power and purpose on the planet;
  • Suffering the sudden and unexpected death of my beloved Father in 2016 to re-emerge forever changed on a cellular level in how I see and approach life and my work
  • Daring to follow my heart in selling our home and belongings to travel the world with my husband and boys (7 and 10) in 2019
  • Getting stuck behind closed borders in Marrakesh, Morocco during a global pandemic
  • Building a life abroad in chaos, maintaining my business and even rescuing a dog during the most unsettling time in history
  • Returning to Canada to figure out WTF is next while the world continues to flail

Bottom line? I’ve navigated a lot of LIFE, LOSS and LOVE.

And none of it is easy. 

It’s not meant to be.  

It’s is worth it though. 

And so are you.

Wherever your road takes you, whichever road you take,

A little more about me…

  • I am ALL about the wisdom of the woods, animal medicine, the elements and cycles of the moon. Nature informs my Soul with every ebb, flow, light and dark along the way. Mother Earth embodies radical acceptance at its finest and reminds us how precious life is at every stage is and that ultimately, everything is temporary. Basically, nature doesn’t fuck around – and neither do I.
  • I make up words like shonky or bah-jiggity with permission to be fearlessly silly at all times – I’m all about embracing “the weird”.
  • I have webbed toes which does NOT make me a better swimmer.
  • I once met Liam and Noel Gallagher from Oasis in the 90s while living in Manchester, UK, when their LIMO pulled up beside me and they drunkenly hung out the window and yelled “GET YER T*TS OUT!”. #charmers
  • I know how to Riverdance (trained as a child and returned to compete in my twenties).
