Resilience Walks

“The flower bar is unlimited, but try not to get drunk!” 🌸

Karin farm took the second half of an amazing workshop last night.

I don’t have any photos of my yoga session IN the dahlia field yet, but I could 👏🏽 not 👏🏽 wait 👏🏽 to share with you today.

The insane diversity of the bouquets were mind blowing. Couldn’t stop looking at mine all day.

🌸🌸 if you want to stay in the loop for the next yoga + nature workshops DM or put FLOWER in the comments and I’ll send you the link. 🌸🌸

It's my birthday today. Yup, I'm 49. One year away from 50. 😢 But wait, does this midlife milestone really have to be something we fear, or get sad about?

One of the things I'm going to be emphasizing as I shift this brand from Petit Soleil Studio to The Wise and Wild Life is talking about:

✨ honouring all the WISDOM and privilege of aging (no matter which decade we're in!)

💗 if we feel we've lost our true self along the way, that this is a time to (This is what I call the WILD self. The self that doesn't wear the masks of pain, shame and programming.)

🌸 and that this wise and wild self is incredibly BEAUTIFUL (so the equation of aging = looking old = loosing our bloom and vitality, be damned!)

What do you think about this? I'd love to hear from you, my friends! DM me or pop something in the comments ✨

P.S. And for my houseplant friends, just wait, you'll see how nature -- indoors and out -- plays into this self revelation 😉

End of an era, in the best of ways! My best selling Plant Tonic for pest control + leaf shine is now EXCLUSIVELY made and sold by in Peterborough.

🪴If you’re a plant-lover, you of course know Dés. She’s the Founder (and personality) behind the cheeky plant shop that now ships right across Canada.

Dés spent 2 fun hours with me today learning how to make and bottle it.

I feel great about passing my “baby” over to her. She’s got the business platform to scale this product. (And other plant shop owners, message her about wholesale. She’ll teach you how to sell the Tonic with plants like hotcakes!)

🤯 And listen, if you’re wondering why I would ever sell off “the rights” to a best selling product, let me just say this:

Sometimes really awesome things are not aligned with where you’re going. These are the hardest things to let go of, but when you do, it’s powerful.

✨ New things are happening here. Last month I changed the account from Petit Soleil Studio to . And over the next few months the rest of the brand reboot will be complete.

Check out my bio for a hint of things to come!

Stay tuned, loves!

I went clothes swapping today! Some thoughts on aligning my style with my “authentic code” in Stories.

Not feelin’ the abundance? Yup. Times are tight! Here’s an antidote 👇🏽

I know you’ve heard it before. . . Try gratitude; it will unlock a whole different vibe.

That's why I put together this pothos-inspired yoga flow for you! 🪴🧘🏻‍♀️

It’ll gently stretch and open your body, mind and spirit. . . perfect for a Monday morning! Just tap the or save for the morning.

But why pothos?

The pothos plant has wide tolerances to light and water, which means it's excited to grow just about anywhere!

It reminds and inspires us to weave gratitude into our day! When we do, the result is more abundance!

You'll feel refreshed and energized with this all-levels FREE 20 minute yoga practice.

Ready to go with the FLOW? my friend

Two whole years in biz! I think I’ve pivoted 1000 times and grown x10!

It's been both exhilarating and exhausting, fun and frustrating (sometimes all in the same day!)
 
The collage above goes from my first photoshoot of “cute plants in cute pots” and the first inklings of ingredients for my Plant Tonic in December 2020, to a fun photoshoot during Global Entrepreneurship Week in November 2022.
 
Thank YOU so much for being around through all of it!
 
I've been quiet on social media for about a month and a half now. I needed to put my creative energy into things the behind the scenes, and since I have an (almost) full time job supply teaching, I just couldn't do both. It's felt awesome! (Hope that gives permission to whoever needs to hear it).
 
But now I'm excited to get back to sharing and teaching on the ‘gram.

This is what Petit Soleil looks like for 2023:
* intuitive plant tips that help us tap into a different side of “knowing” (did you take the new quiz yet?!)
* planterior design (working with clients and sharing tips on social)
* using houseplants to help us tap into nature and our bodies (like with plant-inspired yoga!)
* corporate and group workshops that connect plants and wellness

Can't wait to get started on year three!
 
Plantifully yours,

💚 Sarah

I know it’s been a while friends, but I’ve been creating behind the scenes! I’ll be back soon!

Got some amazing snaps taken at a 30 min session with for Global Entrepreneurship Week. I just love a fun photoshoot!
