How to heal after divorce
By using your Journaling Through Divorce and Separation, you have taken control over your finances and the divorce proceedings.

The Power to Love Yourself
For the past few months we focused on love and the relationship that we all have with ourselves. I pose the following question: How can we give what we don’t have? Think about this for a moment.

Do Men Journal?
“Journaling is probably only for women.” I found this take on journaling fascinating and had to investigate further. From experience I know that men aren’t always up for talking about their feelings, so how do we support them in their time of need? Josh started a new business with his wife and two daughters a few years ago. Shortly after, just as everything was falling into place for their family Grace was diagnosed with breast cancer. She ordered a copy of Journaling Through

The world is facing a pandemic and with emotions and uncertainty running high, we bring you a playlist from people all over the world from all walks of life. As we navigate this time in history together, we return to the basics - human connection, authenticity and reintroduction to ourselves. Change is happening really fast and the ebbs and flow of the loss we feel about our previous normal can become overwhelming. Through journaling and other inward practices, we empower ourselves. We've been given a second chance to create the world we want after self-isolation. Join us as we continue to learn, grow and love together - separately in our homes.
