Qn 7: What inspired you to create these journals and how do you use them yourself?

My life journey was my first inspiration. There was a moment in my life when I lost myself. As a mother of two and a wife, I was so overwhelmed with helping everyone that I forgot about taking care of myself. One day, I realized that while I would always be there for my kids and husband, I also needed to prioritize my own well-being. I became aware of my distractions and stress levels and worked on overcoming them. Additionally, I noticed that there were many individuals who were in a similar situation to mine. I love helping people in a positive way, so I asked myself, “How can I help others?” I realized that writing down my thoughts had immensely helped me, which led to the idea of creating my Journal books. These journal books will help many individuals overcome distractions and obstacles to achieve their goals by taking steps out of their comfort zones.

Qn 8: Your journals are focused on embracing your inner self, what has been the most challenging thing you have had to overcome or learn?

I am learning to love myself inside and out. The biggest challenge was my perception of my own beauty. At a young age, I was told something that affected how I see myself in the mirror. No matter how much people would say how beautiful I am, I couldn’t see it. As I got older, I had to learn to switch my mindset and embrace myself, and that is when I started to see what others were seeing.

Qn 9: What guidance would you give to someone as they start using your journals?

Keep an open mind and believe that you can overcome negative situations, even when you feel like giving up. If you can visualize and feel it, then you can achieve it. Stay focused, keep learning, surround yourself with positive people, and continue to use journaling as a tool for personal growth.

Qn 10: What will you be working on next?

I want to start a women’s group to empower and support each other. I already have a group name and a presentation.
