Lee Ann Hilbrich

Lee Ann is a Daring Way Trained Facilitator of Brené Brown's work, a SoulCollage® Facilitator, a Qi Gong and Yoga Teacher, and is certified in Equine-Facilitated Learning. Along with her herd and flock, she now leads retreats and events at Braving Star Farms, which is located about an hour northeast of Houston, TX. Lee Ann was a psychotherapist for 10 years before she changed arenas and founded Daring Discoveries in 2016.

Lee Ann has authored five books: The Writing Chrysalis, My Self-Compassion Art Journal, Self-Compassion Stories (previously published as Rooted in Love), Practice Pilgrimage, and The School of Mysteries. She loves gathering and connecting with writers of all kinds at her annual Writing Chrysalis Retreat.

When Lee Ann isn't leading retreats or writing, you will most likely find her neurodivergent, Enneagram Type 5, recovering perfectionistic self taking walks around the pond with her dog, creating in the art barn, drinking tea, practicing Qi Gong, or looking for magic and noticing serendipity (all while still wearing her pajamas if possible).
