Hello!

I gather that you have landed here because someone you know personally has introduced you to this journal or you have found me while shopping around for a therapist/coach. Thank you for stopping by!

Start Here…Journal all began when I moved back to one of my childhood cities, Hong Kong, as an adult for the first time and worked there for three enriching years. Prior to working in HK, my go-to suggestion to clients was often free-form journaling between sessions. I noticed quickly that the same suggestion was often met with a look between dread and fear, then followed by, “How or where do I start? Or show me the steps.” After tuning into my new environment more mindfully, I sensed a familiar level of stress from my clients, only it was rooted in new heights of perfectionism. They were already drowning in endless to-do lists and spiraling in bottomless “what-if” worries all while navigating social comparisons on and offline on top of normal life pressures. Nobody wanted more homework!

I wholeheartedly empathized with them. No more homework! But what if journaling was more fun and empowering without commitment? So I decided to create the simplest guided journaling process I could imagine that offers people a flexible structure to process without spiraling, take manageable actions and find joy. Somewhere in between a blank canvas and self-help workbook. Since I returned to NYC, I have continued to share the process with my clients worldwide while refining it over the past 12 years with their honest and helpful feedback. As a result of following this global collective process, I made this yellow notebook into a reality and now I want to share it with you.

In case you are wondering, the eye-catching colors are inspired by Hong Kong’s hero, Bruce Lee!

Hope you enjoy it.

Wendy
