"Life’s like balancing on a log—every step counts, and every fall teaches you how to get back up and keep on rolling!" - Kristine Ochu

Life is an adventure! Ready—Set—Go!
And Go…And Go…

You wake up, do your morning affirmations, feed the kids, search for glasses, traffic jams, coffee spills, project deadlines, parents need your help, best friend is moving, and now a scary medical test result. The stress doesn’t stop. Soon you’re one big mixing bowl of high and low thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

You wish for a fairy godmother to wave her magic wand and make the problems disappear. But she doesn’t show up.

You want to run away and shout “Get me out of here!” But you’re not ready to become an Instagram star…I’ve been there! We’ve all been there in some fashion.

But there are simple, powerful “Keep on Rolling” tools that can stop a “downward cycle.” You can create YOUR OWN empowered life and embrace the “Modern LumberJill” in you that’s resilient, strong, and confident.

These tools can work in minutes with no travel or equipment needed. They saved me more than once!

Now, in the spirit of “paying it forward”, I want to share them with you.
These tools can shift you from stress, self-doubt, anxiety, sadness and exhaustion to calm, confidence, peace, joy and energy.

You’ll find them in my newsletters, women’s fiction novel, Campfire Confessions, social media posts, speaking engagements, and soon, my upcoming handbook.

"When life knocks you off balance, don’t ever give up. Instead, ask yourself, ‘What would a ‘Modern Day LumberJill’ do?’ Then ‘Just take one more step.’ Every small step forward is a victory." - Kristine Ochu

My “Perfectly Imperfect” Life. Guided by Heart & Shaped by Journey.

On my journey, I’ve fallen off the log many times! I’ve had plot twists and deep soul dives—feeling like I was starring in a self-help comedy! I was divorced, single mom, intense career, moving, loss of loved ones, caretaking, etc.

But through every chapter—messy, magical, and everything in between—I trusted my heart and used “Keep on Rolling” tools and never gave up. Each challenge became a teacher and each step a joy.

Then in June 2023, I catapulted “off the log” when I was hospitalized with Ramsey Hunt Syndrome that caused me daily dizziness. It felt like the ground was literally moving beneath me. Yet, my log-rolling lessons, International HR executive & entrepreneur experiences helped me stay focused, find balance and just take one more step. I continued to use “Keep on Rolling” tools and discovered it’s possible to enjoy life even when the world spins!

I didn’t do it alone—and you don’t have to either.

WHAT IS A MODERN DAY LUMBERJILL?

You don’t have to roll logs, chop or saw trees, throw an axe or climb a 100-foot pole to be a “Modern Day LumberJill.” It’s all about having the resiliency, self-belief, and inner strength in the tough moments and situations that challenge us. It’s about using tools to “roll, chop, saw and climb” your way through the stress, self-doubt, anxiety, sadness and exhaustion.

CAMPFIRE CONFESSIONS

“3 Best friends, with 3 explosive secrets. Will they find the courage to confess on a wild, soul-searching adventure before they lose everything they love?”

It took me five years to write Campfire Confessions but I was determined to “never give up!” One challenge was to weave different “Keep on Rolling” tools into a story of “perfectly imperfect” women who need to discover the power of self-love, forgiveness and letting go. It’s also a story about the power of friendship and sharing laughter, secrets, fears and dreams!

I’d love for you to experience the adventure as well!
