About Vanessa Shepherd

welcome

I'm a serial entrepreneur, positive mindset enthusiast and overcomer of odds that blow most people's minds. ooof, that's heavy, but oh so true.

I started out in business as a child making handmade goods for weddings and craft sales. I did it for spending money and my parents did it to feed the fam.

Growing up in poverty with hand-me-downs has helped to fuel a fire for making things work out, and to defining success on my own terms. Something I love to help others do too.

Hi, I'm Vanessa – my family calls me Nessa Jean!

A Canadian girl with sun-kissed hair and winter pale skin. I believe in whimsy, wonder and that the journey should be just as fun – if not more! – than the destination.

Oh, and I'm obsessed with travel and sugary treats.

Not all business owners need to hustle their buns off until they fall over flat on the floor from burnout. In fact, that's so unsustainable it'll land your buns in the hospital (been there, done that).

It's time to ditch the hustle harder mentality and embrace a more sustainable mindset instead. One that allows you to be you on your terms - doing what you love and hitting those lofty goals.

Are you ready to rewrite your story?

You're a heart-led creative wanting more freedom to thrive and a little magic to soar in business.

Great news, adventure seeker

I'm here to guide you to a place in business where fears are conquered & creativity reigns.

Those doubts and questions you have about starting a biz?

It's time to kiss them goodbye! No more:

Fear and fatigue

Content marketing overwhelm

Business blues and client crickets

Creative constipation

Evil pirates and tick-tocking crocodiles

There are too many coaches and business owners flinging hacks and cheats to reach unattainable goals that just don't leave a good taste in your mouth. I'm NOT one of those people.

I help you discover what works for you, guided by timeless strategies and tough questions that spark breakthroughs.

Never grow up

Success is a journey not a destination

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them

Love and kindness are never wasted

Community over competition

I believe in running a business ethically, with transparent sales and honesty at every turn. I also embrace the following:

My passion (and biz) is fueled by hard work, faith and fairy dust .
