31 Journal Therapy Prompts for a More Intentional Month

Some months begin with clear plans. Others begin with exhaustion, uncertainty, or the quiet feeling that something needs to change, even when we cannot name what it is. These 31 Journal Therapy prompts were created to offer one small moment of reflection each day. They are not about forcing an answer, fixing your entire life, or filling several pages. Each prompt is simply an invitation to…

Week 31 of 52: What Has Your Body Been Trying to Tell You?

I am very good at telling myself to keep going. Tired? Keep going.Overwhelmed? Handle what needs to be handled first.Something feels off? Deal with it later. Except “later” has a way of becoming never. Sometimes the body notices what we are carrying before we are willing or able to put it into words. The jaw tightens. The shoulders become heavy. The stomach feels unsettled. Breathing becomes…

Week 30 of 52: Writing our way back to Ourselves

Please forgive me I thought I had posted this earlier in the week. It’s been an interesting one, but I’m back on the groove. I hope you enjoy. Thanks again for stopping by. Back with another reflection for you. Some weeks ask us to dig deep.Others simply ask us to notice. Growth doesn’t always arrive with dramatic breakthroughs. Sometimes it appears in the quiet moments: the conversation you…

What Breaks You also Shows You

There is a strange thing about heartbreak, disappointment, failure, and loss. We spend so much time wishing we could erase those moments that we rarely stop to ask what they uncovered. When life breaks us open, it exposes what was already there. It reveals the fears we have carried quietly. The stories we have believed about ourselves. The places where we still need healing. It also reveals…

Week 29 of 52: Writing Our Way Back to Ourselves

We are officially in week 29 of 52. And I don’t know about you, but that number made me stop for a second. We are more than halfway through the year. Remember those goals we wrote down in January? The promises we made to ourselves? The things we swore this year would be different about? Where are we with them? I’m asking myself the same question. This isn’t about beating ourselves up for…

Wanderlust Was Never About the Destination

For the longest time, I thought my favorite part of traveling was arriving. Standing in a new city.Feeling a different breeze.Watching strangers live lives completely separate from mine. But somewhere along the way, I realized my favorite part actually begins months before I ever leave. It starts with opening a dozen tabs on my computer, wondering what the weather will be like. It starts with…

On the radar for the Summer

I skipped posting yesterday. Not because I didn’t have anything to say. Honestly, it was the opposite. Between work, life, writing, therapy, family, and trying to remember what day it is half the time, my brain felt like it had twenty tabs open and all of them were playing music. So naturally, instead of doing what I was supposed to be doing, I ended up scrolling Instagram. And that’s when I…

What I’m Carrying vs. What I’m Choosing

There is a misconception that before we choose joy, creativity, adventure, or growth, we must first set down everything heavy.As if life hands us a clean slate and says, “Now you may begin.”That has never been my experience.What I am carrying right now is not light.There are bills that do not care how tired I am.A deadline that sits in the corner of my mind no matter what else I am doing.Early…

Summer Solstice: A Season of Light

Today is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. While we are gifted more daylight, summer always feels fleeting. We wait for it through the cold, welcome it with open arms, and before we know it, the leaves begin to change and the winds of autumn remind us that another season is turning. Perhaps that is why I love summer so much. It reminds me not to wait. My heart wants to…

June: Stay Focused, Follow Through

Here we are half the year already gone. Six months behind me, six ahead. That stopped me for a second. I’m not making a list of twenty things this month. I’m making one promise: stay focused, follow through. This year has been full of beginnings. June is where I get steadier with them. Three things I’m holding onto: Focus. Less scattering, more finishing. Doing the one thing in front of me…

I hit publish, and then I just sat there

It’s been like this for over a year. I said 2026 would be different, that I’d hit publish, that I’d push out each thing I created. All I see is the same as always. No comments. No sign that anyone needs me to keep going. And still, I try some more. Maybe I’m not putting in enough effort. But it doesn’t feel like that, it feels like I’m creating, and creating and then once in a while someone will…

I Made This for the Version of Me That Was Drowning

There was a season where I kept showing up to my own life like a stranger. Going through every motion. Doing every task. And still feeling like I was disappearing. Are ready to reset? I want to be honest with you about that season, because I think you might know it too. The alarm goes off before sunrise. You make everybody else’s morning happen. You hold the house, hold the family, hold the…

What Happens When You Sit Down to Want 100 Things

Words are your power I haven’t written here in almost a month. I could give you a list of reasons life, work, the weight of everything I’ve been carrying but honestly? Sometimes the people who write about healing need a minute to just be in it without documenting it. This past month has been that for me. But I’m back. And I’m coming back with something that’s been living in my Moleskine…

Lessons learned

April tried to humble me. It worked. But here’s what else happened. April came in with punches I wasn’t ready for. The PDF I’ve been pouring into for two months is still sitting quiet with no sales. Writing slowed down in a way that scared me a little. Friendships I thought were solid started showing cracks. Unexpected situations landed one after another and I had to just absorb them.But April…

A Whole New World

I woke up early and I was excited. Doors opened at 10 but I knew better than to show up at 10. This was a convention people had been talking about for months. So I got there early, and sure enough, when I turned the corner to find the entrance, the line was already wrapped around the block. I waited at least 45 minutes before they let us in.And when they did, it was a massive amount of people…

A new Never ending Wave

Today marks 20 years since my oldest daughter’s passing to SIDS and I thought I’d share 20 things I wish people understood about grief: “They’re in a better place” doesn’t make the missing stop. Both things can be true and still hurt. “Don’t be sad” is not comfort. It’s a request for your silence. “They wouldn’t want you to cry” maybe. But grief isn’t about what they want anymore. It’s about…
