Hi, and thanks for stopping by
I’m Deirdre Templeton, and my mission is to empower you to create a balanced, intentional life through tools, guidance, and resources that connect you with your values, priorities, and habits.
Through my resources and guidance, you can break free from overwhelm, build supportive routines, and align your actions with your goals in all areas of life.
Intentional living is more than just a lifestyle—it’s a way of being.
My Journey with Intentional Living
Intentional living wasn’t something I set out to find. In fact, when I first began this journey, I didn’t even know what it was. I was simply trying to piece my life back together, one small step at a time.
There was a time when I felt completely lost and out of alignment. My IT career before having children never felt fulfilling, and after a difficult first pregnancy and postnatal depression, I struggled with anxiety, low mood, and a sense of not knowing who I was anymore. Even as I recovered, lingering feelings of self-doubt and a disregulated nervous system stayed with me.
Returning to work in 2018 brought more questions than answers. I tried a variety of part-time jobs, but nothing felt right. My confidence plummeted, and I often felt like life was slipping away while I stood still. I wanted change, but no matter how many goals I set, they seemed to fade into the background of my overwhelming daily life.
The Turning Point
Change didn’t happen overnight. It began with small shifts—giving up alcohol, experimenting with different forms of movement like Qi Gong and yoga, and learning to observe and understand my thoughts through journaling and meditation. Slowly, I started to notice what activities lifted me up and what drained me. I became more attuned to my needs as an introvert, learning to honor my need for quiet and solitude instead of resisting it.
Over time, I stopped comparing myself to others and gave myself permission to go at my own pace. I discovered how to align my energy with my menstrual cycle and embraced the power of balance—a mix of movement, mindfulness, and rest. Bit by bit, I reclaimed my energy, my confidence, and my joy.
Discovering Intentional Living
Somewhere along the way, I stumbled across the concept of intentional living. It was like a lightbulb moment, everything I had been practicing in my own way came together. Intentional living meant slowing down, being present, understanding my values and priorities, and directing my energy toward what truly mattered. It was the missing piece of the puzzle.
Today, I live a life that feels aligned and meaningful. I’m teetotal, have improved my relationship with food, and look forward to daily movement that feels joyful instead of punitive. Most importantly, I’m a calmer, more present wife and mother, and I now have the confidence to share my journey with others.

What I Offer
To support you on your Intentional Living journey, I create practical, thoughtfully designed digital resources to help you cultivate clarity, mindfulness, and balance.
My range of products includes:
Planners & Journals – to help you reflect, grow, and take mindful action.
Self-awareness & Mindfulness Tools – for building habits that support your well-being.
Guides & Challenges – for making small, sustainable shifts in daily life.
Currently, many of my resources are built in Notion, a powerful and intuitive tool for organising life. However, I’ll also be expanding my range to include printable and digital notebook versions to offer more flexibility, allowing you to engage with the resources in the way that works best for you.
Every tool I create is designed to offer gentle structure and accountability, guiding you toward more presence, balance, and alignment in your daily life.
My Unique Approach
I believe intentional living isn’t about adding more to your to-do list—it’s about simplifying, creating space, and designing a life that feels nourishing and meaningful.
That’s why my approach focuses on self-reflection, clarity, and mindful action rather than rigid structures or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Whether you’re looking to build supportive routines, reconnect with your values, or bring more awareness to your everyday habits, my tools are here to guide you, at your own pace, in a way that feels natural and empowering.
