Shift Happens
Transform your life through PLAY
_JPG.jpg)
You’re smart. You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, done the journaling and some healing work.
And still—you feel stuck. Disconnected. Unsure how to move forward.
You want to feel more you.
More grounded. More lit-up. More like you’re actually living your life instead of just managing it.
That’s where I come in.
Hi, I’m Lee Ellen. I guide people back to themselves through the power of play—deep, nourishing play.
The kind that helps you reconnect to your body, your joy, your intuition, and your own sense of aliveness.
The kind that makes self-growth feel like something you actually want to show up for.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start—you're in the right place.
Here’s what I know:
✨ Play keeps you curious ✨
✨ It makes problems feel less problematic ✨
✨ It opens the door to compassion, clarity, and sustainable change ✨
✨ It breaks you out of old patterns and opens up new possibilities✨
✨ It helps you feel more alive—connected to the fullness of who you are✨
✨ It even helps your brain learn and grow faster (science agrees)✨
And when you combine it with gentle self-reflection, community, and science-backed tools—that’s when the SHIFT really HAPPENS.
What if self growth didn’t have to feel like punishment?
What if your “stuck” feeling was just an invitation to try a different way?
What if you could have fun AND...
-
Shorten the cycles of sucky stuckness?
-
Feel more connected—to yourself, your purpose, your people?
-
Build belief in your ability to change (for real this time)?
-
Add more joy, meaning, and ease to your days?
-
Create sustainable habits that actually feel good?
-
Learn to cheer yourself on (instead of criticize every misstep)?
-
Feel like the main character in your own damn life?
That's what I'm here to help you do.
Shift Happens...
...is a playful, grounded, anti-shame approach to self-growth.
Through in-person transformational workshops and small group containers, I help people reconnect to what really matters...
so they can move forward with confidence, clarity, and a little more joy in the tank.
Let’s make it easier (and way more fun) to be a human.
Ready?
Life's a b*tch sometimes, ain't it?
But it's also...
✨ magical, powerful, weird, and f*ing amazing! ✨
If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like there’s gotta be more to life than this—you're right. There is.
But it’s not about fixing yourself or figuring it all out. It’s about loosening your grip, embracing the messiness, tapping into play, and remembering you already have what it takes to move forward.
Get real AND have fun!
Come reconnect with joy, build deep confidence, create meaningful habits,
and steer your life in the direction that feels true to you.

"Shift Happens was absolutely brilliant - as someone who used to critique herself as a serial procrastinator (and enthusiast) who struggles to maintain a new habit for longer than 4 days straight, I didn't hold out much hope of change. But my mindset has shifted so much and I am so much kinder to myself, feel able to make, meet and keep new habits, feel successful in small increments and have *a lot of fun* in the process! I highly recommend Lee Ellen and this course."
About Me
Oh hey, I’m Lee Ellen—playmaker, space-holder, and founder of Shift Happens.
I help people come home to themselves—through play, reflection, and small shifts that lead to big change.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, burnt out, or disconnected, I see you. I’ve been there too. But with curiosity, self-compassion, and some seriously transformative habits (and lots of play), I found my way back to joy, wholeness, and self-trust. Now I help others do the same.
