Greetings!
I am Nanette Saylor, Founder of Wise Well Women.
Welcome to the Wise Well Women Community.
I am so glad that you have found us on your life journey and that we now have a chance to travel the creative living path together. For most of our community, it’s taken some time for us to appreciate how valuable our creative energy is to the quality of our broad life experience and to deliberately claim our intention to live creatively.
Most importantly, I’ve learned that your uniqueness is your gift to this beautiful collective. Sometimes we move in similar, intersecting directions. Sometimes we’re headed in the “right” direction. Sometimes we are so lost we’re completely off course. And, sometimes, the fog is so thick we can’t see our way forward at all.
It wasn’t until mid-life that I got really clear that I had dramatic changes to make and a new direction to go. I received a clear vision of the “Wise Well Woman” I wanted to become.
And I was way off course!
Clues showed up along the way to help me re-discover how vital creative activities are to keeping my path clear. They guided me to make deliberate, conscious choices for how I live my life and who I choose to be. To read more about how “Wise Well Women” came to be, go HERE.
Most importantly, I learned to let go of all the “shoulds” that had been ruling my life.
Today, I am a Teacher, Mentor, Creator + Coach. I serve visionary women like you who are consciously creating their lives. Some are transforming the lives of others, too.
Back in 2007, I founded Wise Well Women to support worn-out women, high-achieving women who were itching to create something more purposeful and joyful in their lives. It’s my deepest desire to be a beacon of light for you as you embrace your unique path on this Creative Living journey.
As an ex-hospitality pro turned creativity coach, I support creative thinkers like you to live your best life and have more fun doing it. I created this judgment-free community as a place of safety and security so you can experiment with new ways of being.
I am proud to claim myself as a “recovering stress junkie”. Honoring and nurturing my creativity has been life-changing for me and for everyone who has joined me on this heroine’s journey.
Join me here, and together we will take a revolutionary journey to redefine success on your terms.
Life was never intended to be a struggle.
We can, and we will rediscover ease, flow + joyful living one baby step at a time!
And, yes, as a socially conscious entrepreneur, I believe it is our life-affirming, creative, feminine energy that will change this world.
My Intention - The Wise Well Woman's Creed
A wise, well woman is one who presents her authentic self to the world each and every day, with joy and pride,
and encourages others to do the same.
She shares her truth with courage, openly and honestly.
With passion, the wise, well woman lives life on life’s terms.
She chooses each moment to step bravely in the direction of her higher purpose.
The wise, well woman extends love to all.
She is guided by a deep faith in the God of her choosing, and she carries a message of hope to all those in need.
Nanette's Passions
Here’s the short version of how I identify myself in a paragraph:
I am known as a Creativity Curator + Champion, and a Possibility Partner for visionary women who are consciously creating their lives and transforming the lives of the people they serve.
It’s my deepest desire to be a beacon of light on the revolutionary journey to define, discover and create joyful living, and to support you to redefine success on your terms.
Snippets About Me:
I am an ex-hospitality pro and stress-junkie turned creativity coach for business and life. Yes, I gave up a 6-figure career so I could create and play more! And yes, I was crazy!
And it is soooooo worth it.
A few things that have changed my life for the better:
Discovering Leo Buscaglia, author of the 1970’s classic book called “Love”, as a young adult
Surviving and growing stronger through crisis (Yes, it’s a made-for-TV kind of story I rarely tell anymore because it’s not how I choose to identify myself.)
Reading everything by Melody Beattie
Learning to be grateful for my ex
Loving my amazing daughter
Remembering how vital the sound and smell of the ocean is to my psyche
Re-discovering my intuition and finding my voice in my journal
Discovering creative reuse centers
Reigniting my creative spark and claiming my creative super-powers!
Learning, growing + certifying with the Creativity Coaching Association
Finding and nurturing incredible women friendships
Discovering Julia Cameron, The Artist’s Way and the miracle of Morning Pages
Honoring my family support
Growing “old” with a man I love beyond words
Finding grace in The Serenity Prayer
And last, but not least, I am forever transformed by the personal growth work that evolved into the my first DIY coaching program, “The 12 Baby Steps Foundation Formula for Creating more Clarity, Serenity and Success”.
10+ years since it’s “birth”, it continues to bring me great joy to share the principles of this simple, life-changing process. I’ve updated this learning for the new decade, and re-released the most important basic tools as our new, free Creative Living Starter Guide you can download HERE.
Here’s the “third party”, more formal BIO version of my history…
Nanette Saylor teaches visionary women to redefine success on their terms and to live their dreams each day. As a Certified Creativity Coach, Nanette uses her nurturing, judgment-free spirit to guide women, who are often artists, writers and entrepreneurs, to listen to and trust their Inner Wisdom, moving through transition with ease. She supports her students to define, describe and create lives and businesses inspired by their unique creative energy so they can be happier and more fulfilled than ever before.
As a workshop leader, speaker, and writer Nanette is a passionate champion of all things creative – especially the creative reuse and repurpose movement. A former Hotel Manager, Nanette traded in her life-draining job to find the joy she lost during her corporate ladder climb in a male dominated industry. Giving up her successful female General Manager identity, Nanette went in search of something more.
Drawn back to her childhood love of music, dance and art, she found renewed inspiration in an unlikely place – the trash. Sorting, organizing and redistributing materials that otherwise would go to the dump, Nanette spent 8 years volunteering at a local Creative Reuse Center called “Trash 2 Treasure”.
Among the garbage she found purpose and meaning by crafting new ways to use old things. Channeling the spirit of her thrifty grandmothers, she gave new identities to discarded items in fun and playful ways and brought a smile back to her face. Soon she was discovering that this seemingly silly expressive activity was a spiritual lifeline for her and many women like her.
Regaining her lost connection to self she grew to understand that nurturing this cycle of renewal for tired and worn out materials represented the rebirth of her own depleted creative energy. Her experience was a beautiful metaphor for the natural order of the cycles of a sustainable business and lifestyle in flow and a perfect transition into her service as a Creative Business & Life Coach.
Today Nanette is proud to be the courageous force behind Wise Well Women, Inc., and the principle voice of this blogsite, The Wise Well Woman’s Way. A self-confessed recovering stress junkie, Nanette brings 30 years of award-winning business management and leadership development experience and a unique combination of warmth and polished professionalism to all that she does.
She passionately serves organizations and individuals that embrace the value of creativity, support a sustainable economy and enhance community good.
Joyfully living her dream life on the beach in Boca Raton, Florida, Nanette invites you to schedule a “virtual coffee chat” while you’re here and connect with her for a casual dose of creative inspiration.
