Heal from Family + Exes — Live Free with Love, Peace, and Success.
My name is Gillian Shields. I write and speak to teach transformation from difficult relationships using psychology and soul-centred perspectives. I am the author of several personal growth books including Happy Boundaries and The Dating Pattern Cure, and the creator and host of the thought-provoking podcast, So This Is Love
My work helps you live your truth: that you are powerful, valuable, capable, and destined to lead an authentically rewarding life after difficult experiences with family, exes, and toxic criticism.
I live just outside Toronto, originally a city-girl. You’re likely to find me writing in my cozy home office or neighborhood café or daydreaming about when I can visit my favorite place again – Scotland - for the magical moody vibes my soul loves.
After finishing my Bachelor of Science in Psychology (B.Sc.) and Master of Science in Health Psychology (M.Sc.), I began a corporate career helping people navigate and address ethical challenges. I dove into personal development, manifestation, and soul work after hitting burn out from decades of difficult close relationships.
Today, I write books and speak on my podcast to help people live free and happy.
