About Exploring Self

Driven by honest, real-life experience, Exploring Self is about unraveling your purpose from outside influences — who people think you should be, what society expects you to become, and sometimes what you think you ought to do. 

Instead, by taking you through my own daily growth journey, I want to share with you the practices I use to turn inward, cut through all the noise, and independently find joy within.

Exploring Self is, at its core, is…

Real. Discovering how to live our most authentic lives is an ongoing journey. And it's hard work — especially in our overbooked, always-on world. I share my personal in-the-moment healing and learning, rather than sharing takeaways after the fact, to encourage you on your own path. By witnessing me work through the growing pains we all may be experiencing, I hope to share the burdens and joys of life alongside you. So discover yourself at your own pace, with whatever resources work for you. Exploring Self is meant to be flexible so that finding your most authentic self feels less like a to-do and more like self care.


Supportive. Exploring Self is more than documenting the journey; it's about sharing guides and valuable resources to help you make space for self-reflection. Whether it's a worksheet, book list or journal prompt, each is designed to help you identify your core values, overcome limiting beliefs and adopt an abundant mindset.


Joyful. While clarifying your wants, needs and goals isn't all rainbows and butterflies, with Exploring Self, it will be sunflowers and freckles as you witness my world and follow my story. My goal is to help you truly come to know and understand yourself so your life is full of joy, growth and authenticity. I believe in leaning into vulnerability and adopting a joyous mindset, which you'll see reflected in my approach to this journey. So no matter how you cross paths with the blog, you're guaranteed to feel a little lighter.

About the author

Hi hi! I'm Isabelle, a vibrant and infectious spirit; all freckles and laughter. Let’s just say that when I say that yellow is my favorite color, or that I love sunflowers, no one is ever surprised. I'm giddy and goofy, but also deeply thoughtful and reflective. A true Gemini sun — #duality.

In my 28 years of existence, 3 things have never changed about me:

1. I love reading.

2. I love writing.

3. I love traveling.

I'm most joyful when experiencing a new place, reading a juicy book, building relationships and community, or creatively writing. Introspective and curious, I'm always open to learning and growing. Ultimately, my goal is to live a life centered in exploration, creativity, and authentic connection.

I'm based in Atlanta, GA and travel frequently. I hope that by sharing my authentic self and life experiences, I'll create a space for open, honest and vulnerable conversation & community.

 i love you & want us to both live fully.
