I expected all my dreams to come true in motherhood: slip into feeling like a great mom, balance a fulfilling career, and effortlessly juggle all-the-things. (Spoiler alert: NOPE.)
I've worked for 15+ years as a professional writer, but when I experienced postpartum anxiety and depression, even I forgot about the power of writing to support your mental health and make sense of your story.
Once I finally ditched the (bad) advice to write every single day in a perfectly tranquil space...
And instead focused on journaling with my easy methods, that's when everything changed.
That’s why I can't wait to introduce you to Journaling 101!
When you implement my proven methods, you can...
STOP FEELING COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED in life.
Start feeling confident in your identity and what you need to feel supported.
STOP FEELING LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
Start investing in a powerful self-care tool that will dramatically improve your mental health and well-being.
STOP FEELING DISCONNECTED AND ALONE IN THIS JOURNEY.
Stay encouraged to keep writing and find new inspiration.
How does that sound?

Throughout the course lessons, you might hear a few references to “Postpartum Journaling 101” which is the original name of this course. After hearing from so many people who were eager to journal but who didn’t consider themselves in the postpartum period, we’ve worked hard to make this course accessible to anyone who wants to start writing today. The journaling principles I’m sharing in this course really do apply to anyone! Motherhood is definitely not required. We hope to update the lessons in the future, but for now, please pardon the “Postpartum Journaling 101” dust and trust me that you’ll benefit from these lessons, no matter where you are in your life.
