After surviving ego death, psychiatric misdiagnosis, and corporate career burnout, former communications consultant Rilee Astraea Brennan walked away from a six-figure job and her perceived stability to write a new story.
Astraea, 29, now operates House of Astraea—a creative, holistic platform blending story, soul, and sustainability. Known as “Mystic in the Matrix,” Astraea’s multidimensional offerings help people transform the stories stored in their bodies through writing, rituals, and everyday magic. Her body of work includes poetic-prose books, narrative essays, handmade art, upcycled goods, and one-on-one mentorship sessions that support others through major life thresholds.
Her signature Storytelling Sessions blend deep listening, narrative reframing, and grounded clarity to help those in transition reclaim their voice and direction. Part strategic analyst, part somatic artist, Rilee combines a decade of experience in public relations and transformation consulting with intuitive insight and a holistic healing approach. Whether navigating career shifts, personal adversity, or a spiritual calling, Astraea holds a mirror to help others see themselves more clearly. These sessions are intentionally non-prescriptive and non-committal—positioning her as a quiet revolutionary in the integrated healing space, especially for neurodivergent and highly sensitive individuals.
At the core of Rilee’s work is a mission to help people break free from cultural conditioning and reconnect with their original essence—the parts of them that existed before shame, hustle, or fragmentation took hold.
In a world hyperfocused on diagnosis and labels, Astraea reminds us,
“You were never broken. You were just remembering.”
Her personal story is the foundation of her life’s work. After a mental health crisis led to ego death and spiritual unraveling, she began the long process of self-reclamation. What started as collapse became a clear path inward. As she rebuilt her identity, she was called to write—not to perform, but to express. Over time, her poetic prose and narrative tools became vehicles for transformation, both for herself and for those drawn to her work.
Traits that were once pathologized—deep sensitivity, associative thinking, nonlinear processing—are now central to how she supports others. Her work is both creative and strategic, designed for people who think deeply, feel intensely, and are ready to shift direction. Whether through books, sessions, or visual storytelling, Rilee helps others identify what’s true for them and live from that place—clearly, sustainably, and without apology.
