That’s why I created the My True Life journal method. It’s perfect for Intentional Bohemians: people like you and me, who are ready to stop living up to general expectations because we’re meant to be unique. 

All I ever wanted was to enjoy my life. But whenever I told family, friends, or teachers about my plans, I got discouraging responses: "That’s not realistic." "Why are you still trying that?" "What if it doesn’t work out?" "You want too much."

I started doubting myself, watered down my personality, and tried to do what everyone else does. I studied, got several jobs, started relationships, and all that jazz (minus the actual jazz hands though, because I’m a terrible dancer). I hated every second of it because it wasn’t what I really wanted. Eventually I didn’t even know what I wanted anymore. 

I was so focused on ‘doing the right thing’ that I completely forgot what’s right for me. At one point I realized I was doing things for people who didn’t even notice me when I actually met their expectations. I never got an award, a pat on the back, or a gold star sticker. And I love stickers…

That’s why I got into journaling, planning and stationery. I used these tools to create a journal system that helped me find my way back to who I really am, what I really want, and how to get it. 

I call my journal system designing My True Life. Hence the name and the goal of my company. Designing My True Life is an ongoing project. I change, improve, or learn something new every day. But now that I have a system in place that always guides me back to what matters most to me in the moment, I never feel lost for too long. I found my north star. 

Now I want to help you find yours. I want to help you design your True Life with my practical tools. From journal prompts to planners, and stationery goodies like stickers that make designing and planning your life fun. Whatever tool you decide to use, it will always put you back in charge and lead you back to what’s right for you.

So go ahead, give it a try. Start designing your True Life today.
