You know when life gets real and all you want to do is curl up with a good book and a glass of wine?

Escape to a quiet space somewhere in your mind, trusting that tomorrow will be a better day (because it will be).

No matter what is going on in the world or in my life, I always come back to one thing: Creativity.

Wife. Long-time dog mom, and also now a new(ish) boy mom. Spin-obsessed yogi balancing life between black coffee, green juice, and red wine.

I tell stories. Quite literally to make a living. Not on this blog though—this is a passion project. This is a combination of working to make my dreams a reality and learning to savour the quiet moments because they disappear when you don’t stop to pay attention.

Hi! I’m Jill Wise.

It’s a practice. It’s a muscle we need to stretch. Intentionally and over time, it becomes comfortable.

Knowing I needed a new creative place to play away from my work and likely over a big glass of red, Wise + Wine sort of popped into my head. A need fulfilled. A new voice to share.

Welcome to the manifestation of my practice and my trust that the universe really does have my back. Tomorrow will always come, and it will always feel brighter than today.

I read a quote one day that said “Creativity is learned,” and I’ve never felt so aligned.

My essentials

In 2023, we moved across the country to live + play in wine country... a dream come true!

My reason why, my little best friend, + the boy who made me a mama... My favourite job yet.

As moms, we can have it all... Whatever that looks like for you.

Taking care of yourself first is the best way to care for your family too.

Change your mind; Change your life. You get to control how you live.
