Christia DeShields

Hi, I’m Christia — writer, educator, entrepreneur, and mama navigating life with equal parts grit and grace.

Wild Honey Life is my corner of the internet where lifestyle, motherhood, and entrepreneurship blend together in the most beautifully imperfect way. It’s a space shaped by my journey as a mother to a neurodivergent child, my years as an educator and principal in St. Louis, and my deep belief that our stories can be both purposeful and sweet — like wild honey.

Here, I share the real-life moments that make up this season of life:
• the heartwork of conscious and holistic parenting
• sensory-friendly and neurodiversity-centered insights
• home + lifestyle inspiration that feels cozy, grounded, and lived-in
• the behind-the-scenes of building a business with heart
• and gentle encouragement for women carving their own paths

I’m passionate about creating a community where women feel seen, supported, and inspired to build lives they love — without losing themselves in the process. Whether I’m writing about motherhood, sharing a soulful perspective, or breaking down what it means to grow as a creator and entrepreneur, my hope is that you leave here feeling encouraged and a little more understood.

Welcome to Wild Honey Life. I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s grow, build, and soften — together.
