Hi there! I’m Valerie…
Life coach, cat mom, (slightly obsessed) birder — and the heart behind The Intentional Soul.
I created this space to help women like you slow down, simplify, and consciously create a life that lights you up.
Through intentional living tools, soulful resources, and gentle coaching, I’m here to support you in crafting a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
My journey (tell me if you can relate)…
My journey with intentional living began years ago, in a moment of total frustration.
One New Year’s Eve, fed up with how stuck and unfulfilled I felt, I dramatically announced to my friend Sarah, “My goal this year is to change everything about my life!” (Years later, we’re still laughing about it — but honestly, I meant every word.)
That one bold intention was the beginning. Over time, I discovered that real, lasting change doesn’t come from overhauling everything overnight — it comes from small, intentional steps, taken consistently.
One of the biggest lessons that shaped me came from Jack Canfield: take 100% responsibility for your life. I realized we’re always creating our lives — the question is, are we doing it unconsciously or consciously?
That understanding changed everything — and it’s what I’m here to help you discover, too.
With over 10 years of experience in coaching, wellness, and intentional living, I bring both heart and expertise to support your journey — meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you step into the life that’s waiting for you.
If there were only 3 lessons I could
share with you, it would be these:
-
Lesson 1
YOU ARE WORTHY AND CAPABLE OF YOUR DREAMS
The Universe wouldn’t give you a dream without also giving you what you need to create it. Like an acorn holds everything to become an Oak, you were designed to bring your dreams to life.
And that’s really why we’re here on this Earth journey. Remember this whenever doubt creeps in—you were born worthy and capable.
-
Lesson 2
WE ARE ALL THE CREATORS OF OUR LIFE EXPERIENCE
And we’re always creating . . . it’s just a matter of whether we’re doing it consciously or unconsciously. Things really shifted for me when I realized the power of being intentional – in how I manage my time, thoughts, feelings, energy, money and living and workspace.
Awareness and being intentional are the biggest keys to change.

Lesson 3
SELF CARE ISN’T SELFISH- IT’S A GENEROUS ACT
When you sacrifice your own physical, spiritual, or emotional well-being for work or other people’s needs and priorities, you do a disservice to them, yourself, and the world. When you’re depleted and run down, you can’t fully give of yourself. You’re denying everyone the very best of you.
So take care of yourself first, and then shine your beautiful light for others.
“Intentional days create a life on purpose.”
— Adrienne Enns
