Shift Happens
Change Your Habits, Change Your Life.
Hi, I’m Lee Ellen. Through group workshops and 1:1 coaching, I help people build healthy habits so they can confidently and sustainably step into their full potential. Clear steps, real tools, and a process that actually works.
Spoiler alert: There is no magic bullet of enlightenment. Improving our experience of life takes time, effort and commitment. BUT self growth doesn't have to stink -- in fact, it's much easier to learn new things when we are having fun!
So, what if you could have fun AND...
-
Make the cycles of life's sucky stuckness shorter?
-
Speed up the process of progress towards becoming even more of the f*cking amazing self that you feel deep in your bones?
-
Develop more confidence and belief in yourself to achieve what you never even dreamed was possible?
-
Build the tools to establish and maintain healthy habits and routines that support you on your journey?
-
Make all of that progress sustainable?
Welcome to Shift Happens!
a different kind of approach to self growth and accountability...
... one where we harness the power of small shifts,
habit science,
deep self reflection,
community, and
play
to sustainably move you towards your best life.
OR
Life's a b*tch, ain't it?
But it's also...
magical, powerful, inspiring, and amazing!
Most of us have experienced the gambit! Sometimes we feel profoundly stuck, and sometimes we feel just a little stuck...
but either way, that stuckness usually sucks.
If you've found yourself on this website, maybe you're feeling a little or a lot of that "stuck" and looking for a little more of that "amazing" stuff. Am I right?
Get real AND have fun!
Don’t miss your chance to build confidence, create lasting habits,
and steer your life in the direction you want.
Join Shift Happens!
Shift Happens no matter what.
Make this the year you jump into the driver's seat.

"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, hi! I’m Lee Ellen, the founder of Shift Happens. I’ve been a personal growth nerd since my teens, but in the last few years, I’ve turned my self-coaching into an actual science—and now I’m here to share it with you!
The Shift Happens method is my unique blend of science, feelings, and fun, and it’s the system I’ve used to completely transform my life.
With this approach, I’ve overcome... chronic health issues, disordered eating, and chronic nihilism, as well as made huge strides in easing social anxiety, self-doubt, scarcity mindset, self-trust issues, career roadblocks... and so much more!
I’m now living a life—and experiencing a self—I never thought possible. It’s friggen amazing, and I can’t wait to help you create your own transformation, one small step at a time.

Testimonials

"As someone with ADHD, I’ve done a lot of academic and behavior-based tutoring and it hasn't worked. Lee Ellen's class is broken down to the level where I can actually take steps forward instead of just giving me ideas I don’t take action around. It's scaffolded really well -- it's very digestible, bite sized, fun and practical. This has been a great opportunity to face really entrenched habits that I thought I couldn’t change — because the facilitation and environment is so approachable and non-judgmental. It’s fun! It’s not clinical, sterile or boring. It’s casual and personable in a good way. It’s community building -- so that there can be actual support instead of just being skill focused. Lee Ellen also has an openness to customize strategies for people. It's so great to have someone really try to work together with me to come up with a creative solution. I can tell she really, truly believes in me."
