Story
Soul & Story Creative was born out of an unexpected professional transition and a season of intentional listening—seeking God’s guidance for what might come next in my story.
In the quiet space that followed, a vision began to form of a art-focused shoppe and studio, right in the heart of the White lake community, where people could find connection, artful inspiration, and skilled, compassionate coaching support.
From Passion to Plan.
What if people could step into a place that felt thoughtful and welcoming without being clinical, where growth was practical, accessible, and deeply human? Stepping away from the language of diagnosis and pathology, Soul & Story Creative emerged as a life-coaching and art-centered space focused on lived experience, meaning-making, and forward movement.
Today, we focus on three three key components: First, we are a retail shoppe offering unique gifts and home decor, well-curated books, high-quality toys, puzzles and games, soulful accessories and color in all forms.
Second, we are a working art studio housing daily creative work and holistic living workshops on topics such as expressive art and mental health, nature-based wellness, navigating life's seasons, and journaling. We also offer quality art supplies to empower you in your creative journey.
Third, our life coaching serves individuals of all ages and stages, honoring the unique developmental needs of each person while offering tools, reflection, goal-directed support, and creative practices that support wholeness, purpose, and becoming.

A Grand Opening
After an early summer of hard work by many hands, Soul & Story Creative opened our doors softly in July 2025 with a grand opening and ribbon cutting following in August, 2025.
We are grateful for the White Lake Chamber of Commerce and Stephanie Ware, who hosted the ribbon cutting and provided such a warm welcome to our business.
The grand opening radiated positive energy and excitement—people shopping, laughing, lingering, and leaning in to share stories as the studio came to life. Family and friends old and new drifted from aisle to aisle and table to table, arms full of beautiful finds, hearts full of excitement, and voices offering words of joyful encouragement and congratulations.
The day felt bold and alive, a swirl of creativity and connection that commemorated the start of something truly special. The start of the Soul & Story work.
