Hi everyone! 👋 My name is Tina. And I'm from Iowa and also the Founder of Prompts and Purpose. I created Prompts & Purpose because I'm on a life time journey of healing, personal growth, and becoming the best version of myself after losing my husband in July 2025 suddenly of a heart attack. I'm excited to connect and share with you my framework that I created and it helped me with my grief and life changes. My goal is to help others who are using journaling to gain clarity, work through life's challenges, and create a life with more intention. I can't wait to get to know all of you and be part of this community!

There’s a reason so many people turn to journaling when life feels overwhelming, unclear, or completely off track. Not because writing magically fixes everything.Not because putting words on paper makes problems disappear. But because journaling is one of the few places where you can tell the truth—without interruption, without judgment, and without needing to have it all figured out. And in a world where most people are constantly reacting, performing, or pushing through, that kind of honesty is rare. That’s where Prompts & Purpose comes in. This isn’t journaling for the sake of journaling.This is journaling with direction—built to help you live intentionally, gain clarity, and move through life (even the hardest parts) with more awareness and control. Why Most People Feel Stuck (Even When They’re Trying) If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right things” but still feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about your life, you’re not alone. Most people don’t struggle because they’re lazy or unmotivated. They struggle because they’re not clear. - Clear on what they actually want - Clear on what’s no longer working - Clear on what they’re avoiding - Clear on what needs to change Without clarity, everything feels harder than it should. Decisions become overwhelming. Emotions feel heavier. Even small steps feel like too much. So people default to what feels easier in the moment: - Staying busy instead of being intentional - Avoiding hard thoughts instead of facing them - Waiting for motivation instead of creating direction The result? A life that slowly starts to feel misaligned. Not necessarily broken—but off. What Makes Journaling Actually Work? Journaling only works when it goes beyond surface-level thoughts. Writing “today was stressful” doesn’t change anything.Writing what’s actually behind that stress does. That’s why prompts matter. Prompts give structure to your thinking.They push you past avoidance.They help you see patterns you wouldn’t notice otherwise.
