I would, but MY DAMN MIND won't let me! A Guided Companion Journal

Great service and awesome book. It’s not only for teens because it can benefit every girl or woman. Awesome examples and easy read.

The activities and writing prompts in this journal are great. They really help me practice what I learned in the main book. And the coloring pages and borders are really pretty.

Awesome... helping me understand my inner teenager, heal and grow! Loved the explanations and insightful exercises.. The case studies helped me not feel alone in the struggle and see it was possible to overcome it
The journal is great to work through too.

I LOVE this book!!

So excited for young girls to read something that will help challenge them and see things in a positive way!

I bought these books as I struggled to understand what was going on in my oldest teen's head. This world is NOT the world I grew up in, and I had difficulty in communicating and relating to my teen. As I have 2 other girls waiting to reach this milestone, I felt this was the best investment I could find. I was right! Not only did it help my understand was they are - and will - go through, it made them feel like they aren't alone. The journal was an important addition as they were able to write down what they are experiencing and compare it to the companion book. Note that these are teens that didn't embrace journaling in the first place! This one gave them structure and direction, which was the missing piece. This has been life-altering, giving them the power of VOICE. Aside from that, the way that it is written feels like a conversation - this is what my girls loved the most about it. Not being talked TO, but WITH. As an added bonus, I felt like I could reconnect with my younger self, applying what I read to what I went through in my own teenaged years. That alone was invaluable. :)

This book is a God send. It helped us so much!! Both my daughter and myself benefited from reading it!! Thank you so much for writing this.

My daughter absolutely loves these! Such a brilliant author! Thank you so much for writing these!
