Hello!

I'm Melissa. Stationary Lover. Partner. Mom. Entrepreneur. (not necessarily in that order). Yes, I was that little girl who opted to go to Staples instead of Claire's when out shopping with family. I have always loved any product that helps me stay organized and on top of that never ending to-do list.

​

But, I also spent the last three years on a deep grief journey after losing my younger brother unexpectedly in early 2021. Working with an amazing counselor I started incorporating more self compassion and gratitude into my daily routine to help with my anxiety and depression following this loss.

​

I am a firm believer in the "stack the deck" (pun intended) approach to emotional wellness. Stacking the deck means finding numerous activities that are beneficial to your mental health and incorporating these into your life simultaneously. I have personally found success incorporating therapy, exercise, self compassion reminders, and journaling (plus much more) into my life. 

​

Both this journal and mindfulness card set came from me simply trying to find ways to support my own growth and healing. I looked at the market and found there was no journal that combined staying on top of the most important things in my life while also providing space for structured reflection. I also realized there was no self-compassion focused card deck out there either. Knowing in my heart these tools would support my own journey and others - I got to work.

​

I hope these tools help you in your emotional wellness journey too.
