Ground + Gather
JOURNAL
More than a workbook, the journal is a living resource – designed for personalization, reflection, and real-life application. It was built from our own journeys and the wisdom of expert practitioners, offering grounded tools to help you discover what sustains you.
Structured around three foundational capacities – building Awareness, making Choices, and creating Connection and Community – this journal invites you to slow down, tune in, and build habits that align with your needs. Through guided practices and activities – from body scans to boundary-setting – the journal makes self-care both practical and possible.
"Your Journal...is flexible, the design is inviting, and the content is engaging. Thoughtful and intentional pacing guides you through self-awareness and self-discovery exercises while providing opportunities for community and connection.”

The Ground + Gather Journal supports…
The journal helps folks identify and understand their emotional states, making it easier to respond rather than react. Activities like “Name it to Tame It” (from Dr. Dan Siegel) and the “Feelings Wheel” (from Dr. Gloria Wilcox) offer accessible, evidence-based practices that build emotional literacy – critical for leadership, relationship-building, and personal insight.
Noticing + Navigation
We all carry internal stories – shaped by past experiences and the world around us. Some stories are empowering, some less so. Drawing from frameworks like Internal Family Systems (from Dr. Richard Schwartz), this journal helps folks surface those inner voices, notice patterns like negative self-talk, and re-author stories that allow for agency, growth, and grounded confidence. It’s a space to meet your inner critic with curiosity – and begin to author a new story.
Rewriting the Story
Well-being isn’t built in the big moments – it’s sustained in the small ones. With tools like “Awe Walks,” “Glimmers” and “4/6/8 Breaths,” the journal invites folks into simple and small practices that support regulation, presence, and self-trust. With time, these hacks become habits of sustainability.
Making Small Shifts for Big Impact
This work is a team sport, and this means that we’re not meant to do it alone. The journal offers tools for mapping support systems, practicing healthy communication, and naming needs, clearly and compassionately. Activities like “Let Me Start Over,” and “Who’s in Your Village?” help strengthen connection – with others and within ourselves.
Rooting in Relationship
The journal is used in our sessions and with people we support.
