“Page 26. Combined with the audio teaching? MAGICAL.
It’s like a career coach and a therapist all in one!"

Do you feel overwhelmed by the amount of things you have to do,
let alone have time for your goals and dreams?
We’re all exhausted, busier than we want to be, spread thin.
We daydream about vacations, free weekends, plans falling through, being home alone.
We’re bustling through our lives for a someday that may never come.
Elegant Excellence is about asking how we can live slower, with more abundance.
We do less, yet our lives have more: joy, connection, creativity, freedom.
I’ve been on this journey since 2015 and it’s changed my life.
I’m still on this journey. Every season I have new aha’s, insights, breakthroughs that have helped me go from someone deeply anxious, easily triggered, constantly exhausted, obsessed with getting enough sleep that never arrived, blaming others for the chaos in my life, feeling like a victim to the life I had chosen running a successful business.
Year by year the difference was so marked that other people would comment on it. My marriage, friendships, relationship with my family, view on one day having a child, business, schedule, creativity, physical and mental health have all changed dramatically.
It’s the greatest feeling of my life, and I want to share it with anyone else who is struggling and desiring for there to be a better way.
You aren’t alone, but we are rare.
We have chosen this as a culture.
Addiction to social media, short time spans. Have you ever scrolled through Netflix or one of your other five streaming accounts looking for something to watch and not feeling particularly excited about anything? Scrolled through dozens of podcasts you’re subscribed to not even sure what you want to listen to?
We have more than ever in human history. And, more depression, anxiety, loneliness.
In America our parents are the least happy of almost anywhere in the world. Deeply correlated to lack of financial support for childcare, but while we hope to change that, what can we do in the meantime?
Join me this year as we take a beautiful, though less traveled path, in which you do not have to choose either a successful life
or a healthy and balanced one.
Where you can choose your dreams, without choosing them over the people and things in your life that matter most. Where you can choose less, but it’s better.
After all, you are the CEO of your own life and you can radically change your life.

Elegant Excellence Journals and Workshops
Powerfully unique to the Elegant Excellence approach, we combine a pretty paper product with practical digital tools.
The 2022 Elegant Excellence Journals
Value: $59
This 2-part set of journals (Jan - Jun, July - Dec) are each filled with 229 pages of thought-provoking, clarifying and actionable exercises that you can use throughout 2022.
There’s also a private, online member's area with audio and video teaching to help you bridge the gap between dreaming and achieving the results you desire on a quarterly, monthly, weekly basis.
Live 6-Part Teaching Series
Value: $149
Throughout the year, I’ll help you deepen your learning and stay accountable.
We’d love a fast answer, but if I gave you a 6 hour lecture, you’d never find time for it.
So we’ll go slower, and take time in between each class to see how it feels, what we shift, what we learn, and return back with new questions to build upon our growth.
We’ll cover these topics:
-
Embracing Enough:
How to curate a life that truly makes us happier -
Working Well:
Success without burning out in our jobs + careers -
Loving Well:
Pouring into our relationships without feeling empty ourselves -
Truly Changing:
The layers of small shifts to find freedom -
Choosing Less:
How we decide, why it’s hard, the tools that support us -
Easy Abundance:
Self-coaching practices for lifelong growth
Bonus | Live Vision Casting Virtual Retreat
Value: $97
This is an online event for clarity, creating + coaching to take place over a few hours in February. We’ll take a spacious and supported day together from the comfort of your own home to dream big.
You’ll have accountability, encouragement, access to me for coaching and clarity as you ease into your new year and see what arises for you in the journal process.
This year we also have a beautiful new cover design
from a special artist…
Meet Alison Rash
Alison is a longtime friend and one of my favorite artists. Ali is a mama of two fighting stage four breast cancer. She writes poignantly about staying present with an uncertain future, finding the beauty and joy in an imperfect life.
I own a few of her small paintings that sit in my office and I look at them while I work. I got to thinking about how incredible it would be if I could gift you a piece of art to look at each time you sit down to dream and think. So I asked her to collaborate for the cover art for the 2022 Elegant Excellence Journal set. Turns out she was already a fan of the Elegant Excellence Journal, so aligned with the mission, and thrilled to be a part of letting her beauty inspire your own.
Our Ocean cover (January - June) inspires us to be expansive, look out to a horizon of possibility, to rest and float, look for depth and appreciate lightness, stay curious.
Our Garden cover (July - December) invites us to see growth and movement all around us, whether the quiet rustle of trees or the powerful energy of a waterfall, see how white space and abundance can coexist.

Take a look inside...
THE PORTRAIT: My experience is you can radically change your life in just 6 months. Therefore this journal is set up as a journey of that length, whereby we slow down and truly reconsider who we are and what life we dream of creating ten years, three years, and one year from now. With guided audio teaching to accompany this journal, we uncover our dreams, then use my signature Domino, Arrow, Amplifier Method to avoid overwhelm and identify our key goals.

THE PATH: Today as you begin, and again 90 days from now, we’ll use my token method of The Path to organize our goals and projects for the next 3-6 months. In parts one and two of our video workshop, we’ll gain clarity in creating a map that’s best for you.

THE PRIORITIES: With the twice yearly and quarterly exercises in mind, you’ll get focused on the right priorities for your month. This is when we start to combine tangible and digital. In parts three and four of our video workshop, I walk you through how to use your calendar or project management system to honor everything occurring in your life, and truly map out and track projects for success. This teaching will help you over time to better understand how much you can do and how long things will take, for less frustration, healthier expectations, and more pride in what you accomplish.
THE PLAN + THE PRESENCE: Taking our clarity into our days, we can see what the most important things are this week, while also slowing down to notice our celebrations, thoughts, shifts, and next steps. As we track our tasks digitally, we don’t lose this creative appointment to breathe life, joy, and new ideas into our actions.
THE WAND: Then add magic. The more days you do this practice, the more days you will feel empowered, in control, and happier. Therefore there aren’t daily pages to “get behind” on here. Instead, an encouragement to do this practice daily on your phone’s notes app, your tangible diary, or written on the back of a receipt in line for school pick-up. Thus, while you may not carry this journal with you daily, you can utilize this powerful principle that often.

“Getting an overall vision for what’s most important to me helped me know which opportunities to say yes to. The Arrow Goal method gives me the best next steps to take, and I don’t despair about goals that aren’t happening right now because I know I’m on the path and they are still in the plan!”

“Omg this journal is EVERYTHING! It’s allowed me to create realistic plans for my long/short term goals. It’s also relieved a lot of unnecessary stress I put on myself because I kept everything in my head. The Task v. Project section in the video especially had a really big effect on me. And here I always wondered why I couldn’t finish anything!”

“While I'm not always exactly "calm", I am calm-er since using the ElEx Journal. On busy days, I know I consciously made choices to put myself there and can make the decision to not do things just as easily (no more victim mentality.) I also know I’m not spinning my wheels, that each action has a purpose that spurs me toward my goals.”

“Having to list out my open projects each week keeps me honest about how much can really be accomplished. You help me break things down into manageable bites to keep moving things forward each week. My unreasonable expectations are right in my face, lol! I bought one for my niece and probably sold at least 3-4 girlfriends from talking it up so much!”

“I'm so much clearer on my goals.

Taking the time to go deeply into what I wanted in the beginning has made me much more effective.”

FAQs
Is this a daily planner?
No. The printed journal is one you return to quarterly, monthly, and weekly as desired. The teaching that accompanies it shows you how to then fold your clarity and goals into the paper or digital software you use for daily to-do’s, project maps (which Hilary teaches on) and collaborating with the people in your life.
This is the north star and life coach that helps you decide what to put on your printed or online planner, why, how to adjust when you’re off track, and enjoy the journey more along the way.
When will my journals ship?
The journals are estimated to ship out late December. While we started production earlier than ever this year, global printing and transportation continues to grow ever more delayed with supply chain issues. Since we traditionally want it to ship early December, we felt it’s most elegant and excellent to gift everyone $50 off to go above and beyond in any area we are in control of. Plus cover the cost of expedited shipping to get it to you as quickly as possible.
When is the first workshop?
Our first workshop with Hilary is December 7! Before your journals even arrive, we’ll gather for mindset and strategy teaching to sink into over the holidays. If you can’t join us live, all workshops will be recorded.
Is the journal exclusively for entrepreneurs?
No. Thousands of users can affirm it’s powerful whether you’re in a corporate job, a homeschooling mom, working your way through graduate school… the list goes on!
It’s for anyone who feels they have too many projects, goals, dreams (personal or professional) they want to happen. And/or feel overwhelmed, behind, or disappointed in what they get accomplished in a week, a month, a year.
