What If I told you - You Can Have Your Fruit & Eat It Too?

What else is it for, if not for eating —ripe, messy, dripping with sweetness—and to enjoy it with your whole spirit, your whole wilde heart?

What if that sweetness, like joy wasn't a reward for good behavior, but your birthright?

This is your invitation to take the first bite.

What She’s Saying

★★★★★

“Vanessa Wilde is gifted in her ability to intuitively sense what the room needs for confidence and safety to express themselves and have fun. In our recent work together, I saw first hand excellent results from an annual planning retreat for our organization.”
- Danny Fitzgerald, Regional Director SBDC
★★★★★

“She has lent her brilliance to the development of several improv-based workshops, empowering our staff and families to be fully present with their loved ones and finding creative ways to connect and harness the power of story in people who are dealing with memory loss.”
- Amy Abrams, Director of Education Alzheimer's San Diego
★★★★★

“Vanesaa is a great speaker.There's something magical about the way she teaches. She gently brings you out of your shell, out of your head, and eliminates the intimidation factor that you might otherwise expect when being vulnerable in front of other people.”
- Nichole MacDonald, CEO The Sash Bag
★★★★★

“Taking creative playshops with Vanessa is one of the best investments I’ve made in my personal and professional life. It’s playtime, laughter, connection, community, collaboration, vulnerability, therapy, expansion, and in the beginning, waaaay out of my comfort zone.”
- Virginia Rodriguez, Writer
★★★★★

“Vanessa’s class was a smorgasbord of improv “exercises,” playfulness, lots of laughter goofiness, and mindfulness— reminding us to let go of our inhibitions, our inner critics, and those “you shouldn’t” and “you can’t” voices in our heads. Valuable lessons.”
- Valerie Sussman, M.D.

What's Your Spirit Fruit ? →

(unless you’re a kiwi or rambutan, then you are both sweet and a little hairy)

Author and cheerfully disobedient playologist reclaiming joy and pleasure — part medicine, part rebellion.

So you just met your Spirit Fruit. She's something, isn't she?

Here to tantalize you. Remind you of our playfulness. Of your wisdom. But her secret mission is this: to enchant you to Eat the Fruit. Because it's yours. Your joy, time, pleasure, peace, safety, choices, sovereignty, power. All yours.

I spent years being the good girl — responsible, people-pleasing, and totally exhausted. Then Lyme disease forced me to stop and pay attention to myself. That's when I discovered a medicine no doctor ever prescribed: play, pleasure, expression and joy.

Now it's your turn. To fully and defiantly own what makes you fully alive. Because you're slightly wilde, a little feral, and meant to thrive — not just slog along hoping one day you'll feel less tired, have more money, or be skinnier.

This is for you, who've traded orgasms for to-do lists. You've spent your whole life tending to other people's gardens. I'm here to walk alongside you as you tend to yours, and finally taste the fruit.

Want to know how? Let me show you — I promise it'll be more fun than your last self-help binge. ⤵
