About Me
Hi, I'm Stella.
I'm a writer and consultant based in Melbourne, Australia.
I've studied and worked across New Zealand, China, the United States and now Australia, led meditation retreats, and spent countless hours wandering new cities with a notebook.
I'm interested in psychology, philosophy, and the ideas that shape the way we see ourselves and the world. I've become increasingly interested in what our experiences can teach us about how to live:
What makes a life meaningful and fulfilling?
How do we become the person we desire to be?
How do we navigate the space between ambition and aliveness?
And how do we stay awake to the life we're actually living?
Stella Spirit is a place to explore these questions through writing.
If this resonates with you, I'm so glad you're here.
