ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Cie.

A few years ago my world fell apart. I ended my marriage, sold the big, beautiful house I called home, and became a single mom. Starting over wasn't easy. In so many ways I had lost myself. But somewhere along the way, I realized that ending was the start of finally building a life that truly felt like mine.

I'm a teacher, a writer, and a mom to one incredible little girl. I'm also still becoming the best version of myself, one messy, beautiful day at a time. I don't have all the answers. Some days are hard. Some days are magical. Most days are a mix of both, and I've stopped pretending otherwise.

I believe healing isn't linear, and that you don't have to wait for a perfect life to start manifesting a better one. Since choosing to believe in what could be, I've manifested things I once thought were out of reach. I found and bought the perfect home for my daughter and me. I've taken her exploring five countries before by the time she was five years old. And I published Little Bernadette and the Magic of Yet, a children's book born from a childhood dream, reminding kids (and grown-ups) that just because something hasn't happened doesn't mean it never will.

This site holds all of it. Single Moms Manifest, where I write most openly about motherhood, healing, and manifesting a life you actually want. Travel, for all the adventures we keep chasing. Kid Magic, for the crafts and joy and chaos of raising Little ones. And Little Bernadette, the book that's been years in the making.

If you're finding your way through something hard, learning to trust yourself again, or looking to manifest more, I'm really glad you're here!
