You're On The Edge Of Something Incredible!

This community helps you navigate the terrain between “What the hell?” and “Hell yes!”

Adulting is not a CRISIS, it’s a creative opportunity.

I’m Kristi Keller and I fell in love with the word “Wildhood” the instant I saw the following ad. I’m sure anyone who has ever worn a power suit, carried a briefcase, or taken public transportation to work can relate.

WARNING: Some viewers have reported spontaneous crying after watching this:

If that video didn’t put a lump in your throat, you must be dead.

‘Wildhood’ is like shapeshifting.

It comes in many forms, depending on how you define it. It’s up to you to live your life according to whatever brings you comfort, joy, adventure, gratification, paychecks, passport stamps, margaritas, tail wags, etc. 

It’s about squeezing in your cardio by running from adult responsibilities once in a while and living as though you don’t have a care in the world, even if you do.

It’s about the life-changing event of coming face-to-face with your REAL (and wild) self, like the guy in that video clip above. If you’re itching for more creativity, travel, meaning, or mischief….this is your sign.

You’re in the right place if:

• You still have wild ideas worth chasing

• You’re ready to trade burnout for boldness

• You’ve built a “successful” life that no longer fits

• You’ve got a suitcase (literal or emotional) ready to go

• You’re craving a little less beige and a lot more Wildhood

• You believe travel can change your life (and maybe your work, too)

• You’re figuring it out as you go, and want good company while you do

It’s where we go deeper, get real, and build worthwhile things.

Let’s do this thing TOGETHER.

As a paid subscriber, you get:

• Access to monthly Reinvention Rooms. Live Zoom gatherings where we explore the art of starting over with courage, connection, and a damn good journal prompt.

• Access to an abundance of big, fat ideas full of encouragement, incentive, and creative ideas that you can totally steal and run with.

• Access to posts like this one, where somebody executed the idea three hours after it was published! This is why paywalls exist…because your next brilliant escape plan might be sitting behind one.

• Access to unfiltered essays and behind-the-scenes dispatches, where I share what it really looks like to chase freedom, find new purpose, and live life off-script.

You’ll also have binge-worthy access to all chapters from my previously published book about ditching life in Canada and moving to Jamaica. It’s called Jamaica Made Me Do It, and each chapter is free for the first week before it slips into Neverland behind a paywall.
