Journal Inspirations

We know how hard it is to start journaling. To help you get started, we reach out to inspirational ladies in our community and ask them how they plan their day. Next, we create free day planners printable just for you. Whether you are a teen or a mom, I promise that you will be inspired to create your better life.

Be Inspired by:

Inspirational Teens

This is where you feel that you can make an impact. We find inspirational stories of young ladies who believe in themselves and did not let their age or gender get in the way. As a mother, this is my gift to my daughter (and yours!) that she can make a difference. That she doesn’t have to lose or hide a part of herself to blend in. Being brave, having a voice and making change can be normal for women of any age.

Encouragements and inspirations for teen girls - When everybody says NO, you can still do Yes. It is OK to be clueless, but be confident that you can figure it out.
Inspiration for Teen Girls - If you feel small, don't think you're too young to do something. Don't think you're too insignificant to make a difference, you can
Inspiration for Teen Girls - if you feel pressured, don't conform. Don't follow everybody. You will never find you if you keep being everybody.

We then start with a simple question – How do you start your day? How do you plan your day such that you incorporate selfcare (and time with God)? What is the one mindset or thing that you do so that you go to bed satisfied?

Free Day Planner Printable

Next, we create printable planner inserts inspired by these ladies and we make it FREE for download, forever. It doesn’t quite make business sense given the time it takes for the whole process – from finding the role models for teen girls to creating the planner. But I want to do this for you, for your daughters and for my kiddo. To let the next generation of women know that they can create their better life.

And TBH, I’m the one who is blown away by how much teenagers achieve these days – the drive, the creativity and the authenticity to doing something while staying true to who they are.

I hope that these little gifts of free planner printables can inspire you – to journal, to believe in yourself that you hold the key to the clues for your better life. #FollowtheFun, #FeeltheJoy, Find the Clues, Forge your Path. You can do it 💪
