The story behind the journals.
These journals were born from my own journey through severe anxiety. When fear and toxic thought patterns consumed my life, I turned to writing — and discovered a practice that brought real, lasting transformation.
What began as a personal experiment — writing out anxious thoughts and consciously reframing them — became a daily practice that helped me reclaim peace, creativity, and joy. The results were so impactful that I felt called to share them.
Each journal in this collection is designed to meet you where you are and gently guide you toward a more intentional, authentic, and fulfilling life. My hope is that they bring you the same freedom and healing they have brought me.
My personal journey with anxiety culminated in a crisis. The fear became so crippling that my life and sense of wellbeing came to an abrupt standstill. I lost all confidence, imagined terrifying situations everywhere, developed phobias, couldn't function in relationships, gained weight, and suffered from joint pain.
To pull myself out of this dark place, I turned to writing and created my first guided journal: The Conscious Creator's Notebook.
After immersing myself in this journal practice, I began to emerge from the confusion and despair. I developed a genuine understanding of how my thought patterns and self-talk had become highly toxic. It was the lens through which I was viewing the world. This realization was the turning point.
As my mental health improved, I realized that if I was the source of the misery and fear I was experiencing, then I also had the power to become a source of joy, gratitude, confidence, and love. I began to focus on uncovering the self-love and self-compassion that had been buried under years of toxic thought patterns. I started to seek evidence of beauty, peace, and freedom in my life — and so the Evidence of Joy Journal was created.
I invite you to join me on the journey.
