The Courageous Life

Break Free. Reignite Your Spirit.

Live Courageously.

Hi, I’m Elle.

Founder of The Courageous Life

I help people break free from fear and status quo living so that they can courageously create a life that makes them feel truly ALIVE and ALIGNED.

My passion and purpose is guiding women and men who feel stuck on autopilot-restless, disconnected, or settling for a life by society’s design-back to their inner fire and truth through sacred breathwork journeys and transformative retreats.

I know the courage it takes to step off the “normal” path. It required devotion, community and a willingness to be uncomfortable to create a life I can’t get enough of. And I believe you can too.

Life is meant to be lived in a way that sets our souls on fire. I’m here to hold space and walk beside you as you reclaim that clarity, freedom, power and wildness.

WHy Courage Matters now

We are living in a time when it has never been easier—or more dangerous—to live by someone else’s design.

We’re surrounded by systems and stories that tell us who to be, how to behave, and what success should look like. Comfort is sold as safety. Numbness is mistaken for peace. And too many people are sleepwalking through lives that don’t belong to them.

Courage is the antidote.

To live courageously in this world is a radical act, but a necessary one.

Creating a life that is true to you is not always comfortable, nor is it convenient. But it is sacred.

When you choose to live by your own design—to say yes to your truth instead of what’s expected—it requires courage.

Courage to leave what’s safe.

Courage to trust your gut when no one else understands.

Courage to stop performing and live as your wild, unfiltered self.

Courage is not the absence of fear.

It’s choosing to move with it, rooted in what matters most.

Living courageously is how we rewild.

It’s how we reclaim our voice.

It’s how we create lives that feel like truth, not survival.

You don’t have to be fearless. You just have to be ready.

We are a movement, a mindset, and a way of living that is devoted to guiding people out of the boxes they’ve been taught to fit into and back into the raw and aligned truth of who they are. The Courageous Life is more than a brand—it’s a reclamation.

Through transformational retreats, sacred breathwork experiences, and curated soul adventures, we create pathways for deep healing, self-liberation, and aligned living.

This is a home for those ready to break free from expectations, wanting to live a life by their own design–unapologetically and courageously.
