Loving ourselves means freedom from the need of external approval.

It means understanding that we are ALWAYS evolving and changing, and we give ourselves room and permission to do so.

It means breaking old cycles that no longer serve us, creating boundaries that support our overall well-being, and cultivating healthy practices that build both.

It means not needing to compare or compete because we’re aware and confident enough to know that we are the only one of us and that is ENOUGH.

It means being able to give from an overflow of love and joy. That means healthier interactions and relationships.

Getting back to a place where we love ourselves can feel challenging because we have to shift the momentum and transform our mindsets.

We can do that through intentional and consistent practices. I believe in starting small. Small steps are the most realistic and sustainable.

On my own journey I began to realize the power in the minutia of our words. The words that we choose can support or sabotage the new and empowering stories we want to create.

Words. Small. One at a time. One a day.

From that personal practice and transformative experience, I give you- The Love Journey.

This guided journey journal has one word a day for 30 days.

Each day has stories, affirmations, a space for gratitude, and an exercise related to the word of the day. It also includes daily journal spaces and some additional resources. I hope that these practices and exercises can help you on your healing journey as much as they’ve helped me.

This journal is for you if you:

  • want to connect with yourself on a deeper level,

  • want to develop a deeper understanding of what it means to love yourself,

  • want to learn practices and techniques that strengthen that love, making you happier and healthier, and

  • want to take your power back to create a beautiful and healthy life on your own terms.

Love is a verb and when we take intentional action we amplify it. That benefits us, everyone we love and everything we love to do. We deserve to return to that love AND it is our birthright.

I'm so excited to share this with you all and hope it helps you rediscover your connection to yourself, honor and respect yourself, and operate from a place of love for yourself. This guided journal was created to support your self-love journey with words and exercises that encourage, empower and equip you to become so filled with love that you give from an overflow, instead of a depletion. Unlike other journals, this book is a journey filled with stories, data, affirmations, exercises to put love into practice, spaces to journal and capture thoughts and a-ha moments, and additional resources. The processes and practices in this book have helped me heal. And not just heal, but have helped me practically eliminate imposter syndrome, not take things personally, reduce anxiety and stress, and put my ego in check. These practices have also filled my life with deeper levels of peace, gratitude and joy.


Love is powerful and intentional action amplifies it. That benefits us as well as everyone we love and everything we love to do. This guided journey journal is for those beginning the journey, those in the thick of it, and those who are well practiced.
