Hi everyone 💛 A while back I shared that I was launching a Kickstarter for The Mom Brain Journal™. Well… that didn’t exactly go as planned. Life did what life does — rocky rollercoaster and all. So I embraced the pivot. Instead of waiting for perfect conditions, I went straight to Amazon. The actual thing? The book. It's officially published and available. What makes this moment even wilder… on one of Sierra’s early webinars, we were prompted to write a note to ourselves. I found mine recently. I had signed it: “I will write my journal this year.” And now I’m holding it in my hands. Here’s the beautiful twist — I actually started this year writing a completely different book. A memoir about my life. But something inside me said: create this first. Create the tool you need. Create it for moms like you. So I did. The Mom Brain Journal™ is a neuroscience-meets-real-life reflection guide for caregivers, moms, and women navigating shifts in identity, roles, power, ambition, overstimulation — all of it. It’s structured but not rigid. Supportive, not preachy. Not therapy. Not a fluffy gratitude notebook. It’s a grounded process to help you regulate, reflect, and think clearly again. I use it myself with genuine awe that this is where my life has led — and this feels like the true beginning of my writing journey. I have so many ideas moving through me now, and I honestly don’t think I would’ve tapped into them without bringing this one to light first. I truly don’t think this book would exist without this group. That first webinar — especially the four phases of creativity — helped me move from circling the idea to finishing it. So thank you, Sierra. And thank you to everyone here who beta read, encouraged, and quietly supported. The project is now a real, living book in the world. Deep gratitude for this space and the push to pivot when it mattered most. 💛 https://a.co/d/07vOq7lR

Hey everyone! I wanted to share something exciting — I’m officially launching the Kickstarter for The Mom Brain Journal™. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mombrainjournal/rewiring-motherhood-one-page-at-a-time If you’ve seen my little breadcrumbs in here about what I’ve been writing or why this project matters… this is what it’s all been leading to. It’s a neuroscience-meets-soul-care journal for moms who are carrying a lot and deserve tools that actually support their minds, not drain them. I also want to give a huge thank you to @Sierra Melcher . Your webinars, honesty in editing, suggestions, and outline of the 4 phases of creativity (in the classroom) helped me move through doubt and finally trust my voice. Even when I’m quiet in the group, I feel the support — and it’s genuinely helped my writing blossom. And a massive gratitude to my beta readers from the group: @Brandee Melcher @Dee Mehta @Leslie Barber (Thank you for being open minded to listen to me and then for trying out this tool and giving honest, heartfelt and very intuitive feedback.) Finding this group was such a Godsend. If this project resonates with you or someone you know, I’d love for you to check out the Kickstarter. Thank you all for being part of the creative energy that got me here. 💛✨ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mombrainjournal/rewiring-motherhood-one-page-at-a-time
