Gratitude doesn’t always look like joy.
Sometimes it looks like getting through the day.
Like showing up tired.
Like choosing rest instead of pushing.
Like surviving something that asked more of you than you expected.

If today feels heavy, that doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful.
It means you’re human.

And in this community, we believe that counts, too. 🤍
If all you did today was breathe, soften, or keep going — you’re welcome here.

You don’t have to perform gratitude.
You’re allowed to live it honestly.

What did “surviving” look like for you today?

If the world has felt louder than usual… you’re not imagining it.
December has a way of stirring things up — old patterns, old pressure, old versions of us we’re trying really hard to outgrow.

But loud doesn’t mean you’re failing.
Loud doesn’t mean you’re behind.
Loud usually just means your nervous system is tired of carrying everything quietly.

Here are five tiny grounding moments that help me come back to myself when my brain starts buzzing:

• Both feet on the floor — remind your body you’re here.
• A longer exhale — remind your mind you’re safe.
• Three things you can touch — remind your senses you’re okay.
• A warm sip — remind your heart to slow down.
• “I’m safe enough right now” — remind your inner voice to soften.

Your healing doesn’t need big rituals.
It just needs honesty, breath, and a moment of gentleness — especially in months like this one.

You’re doing the best you can in a season that asks for a lot.
And that is enough. 🌿🤍

Let’s do something fun today…
Ask me anything. đź’›
Big things, small things, life things, plant things, business things — or absolutely random things.

If you’re curious, wondering, nosy, confused, cheering me on, or just want to say hi… this is your moment.

Drop your questions below, Babe.
I’m all yours.

Most gratitude journals expect you to arrive already grounded, calm, and inspired.
But what about the days when life feels… a lot?

That’s where Gratitude Grove changes the story.

This Petite Ritual Journal was designed to help you begin — even when your brain is busy, your plate is full, and your energy is low.
Because gratitude isn’t just for the pretty moments.
It’s for the real ones.
The tangled ones.
The “I showed up today and that counts” ones.
The gratitude of self that so many of us forget to nurture.

Here’s a soft, peek inside — a whisper of what’s to come.
A ritual that feels safe.
A space that feels yours.
A daily practice you can actually sustain.

Sometimes a gentle beginning is all you need.
And this journal was made for beginnings. 🌿🤍

This one is tender.
Because softness wasn’t where my healing began — awareness was.

Awareness that I didn’t trust myself.
Awareness that my first instinct was to isolate when I needed connection most.
Awareness that my fear of being abandoned kept me from being seen.
Awareness that my needs mattered, even when I felt inconvenient.
Awareness that my healing wasn’t linear — and still isn’t.

Postpartum cracked everything open, but it also gave me a choice:
Let the trauma shape the rest of my life… or start doing the uncomfortable work of meeting myself honestly.

I survived then by ritual stacking:
Warm mug → one breath → one sentence → one truth.
Tiny steps that didn’t overwhelm me.

I survived by learning to speak up even when my voice shook.
By not abandoning myself first.
By giving myself permission to change.

Now?
Softness is a choice I make — not something I’m afraid of.
Awareness is the tool that keeps me rooted.
And healing is the ongoing journey I’m committed to… even on the messy days.

🌿 Tiny, doable tip:
Do ONE thing today that supports future-you:
Say the honest thing.
Ask for help.
Pause before reacting.
Choose the softer option.

Save this to remember: healing doesn’t demand perfection — just awareness.

Mid-month check-ins don’t have to feel like report cards.
They don’t need color-coded charts, a productivity audit, or a list of things you “should be doing better.”

This one is different — softer, slower, and built for tired humans with real lives, real emotions, and real nervous systems.

Here’s how to get the most out of this ritual:

1. Go somewhere your body feels safe.
Your bed, the couch, the passenger seat while you wait for pickup — yes, that counts.
2. Pick one journal prompt that stands out.
Not the “most important.” Not the “right one.”
Just the one your chest quietly buzzes at. That’s the one that wants your attention.
3. Answer it gently.
A sentence is enough. A scribble is enough.
This isn’t about digging for breakthroughs — it’s about noticing what your body has been whispering.
4. Let your answer be unfinished.
Soft reflections aren’t solutions… they’re invitations.
You can return tomorrow, next week, or not at all.
There’s no wrong way to check in with yourself.
5. End with a tiny kindness.
A sip of something warm.
A deep breath.
A hand to your heart.
A reminder that tending to yourself counts — even if it’s tiny.

You don’t have to reinvent your life mid-month.
You don’t have to be “on track.”
You just get to be a human who pauses long enough to ask:
“How am I really doing?”

That’s the real work.
And it’s enough.✨

Sometimes the most beautiful things we create come from the quiet moments…the ones where life finally slows down enough for you to hear your own heartbeat again.

That’s where Gratutide Grove began for me — in the pause between chaos and calm, in the soft space where healing doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.

When Steph and I first started dreaming up this collaboration, it felt like two different roots intertwining under the same soil. Her softness, my structure, our shared belief in intentional living — it all just clicked. What started as a tiny idea bloomed into something so much bigger:

A place for honest reflection
A ritual you can actually start and sustain
A gentle reminder that neither growth nor gratitude have to be perfect to matter
Because here’s the truth most gratitude journals skip over:

Gratitude isn’t just for the highlight reel.
It’s for the unglamorous days, the messy middles, the quiet wins you never celebrate, the moments you show up for yourself when no one is clapping.

And building self-gratitude — learning to honor your own resilience, softness, boundaries, and becoming — is just as important as being grateful for the world around you. Most of us weren’t taught how to do that… so this journal helps you begin.

This Petite Ritual Journal holds both of our hearts in it — the tender, messy, magical parts.
And we made it for you.
For your quiet mornings, your mid-day resets, your emotional untanglings, your tiny moments of “hey… I’m actually proud of myself today.”

Gratitude Grove isn’t about forcing joy.
It’s about noticing it.
In the beautiful moments, the ordinary ones, and the ones that stretched you thin but still grew you anyway.
One small moment at a time.

And today, you get to meet one of the hearts behind it. 🤍
I’m honored to be part of this creation, and even more honored to finally share its story with you.

Stay tuned, leaf lover — the grove opens soon.

For a long time, mornings felt like survival mode.
Kids up early, a house already buzzing, my nervous system sprinting before I even left the bed.

But somewhere along the way — between healing work, motherhood, and the “I cannot keep living like this” moments — I started building tiny rituals that helped me come back to myself.
Not to be productive.
Not to be “better.”
Just to feel present in my own life.

These are the morning rituals I use to honor myself & my peace:

A quiet start — before the rest of the house wakes up, just long enough to hear myself think & tend to my needs before I am needed by others.
A 30-minute full body stretch — letting my body release the things I never say out loud & maybe a small snooze.
A candlelit journal entry — sometimes one sentence, sometimes just a breath, and sometimes a rage scribble.
Brushing my hair — a tiny act of care my nervous system surprisingly responds to, this is my non-negotiable even when I am going through depression.
A real breakfast — because comfort is something I deserve, not something I earn. What your favorite low effort, easy breakfast go to?

None of these make me “better.”
They make me here.

And if you’re in a season where life is loud and healing is messy, I hope you see this as permission to build rituals that meet you where you are — not where you’re “supposed” to be.

Tiny rituals = tiny returns to yourself.
And those add up. 🌿💛

Some conversations deserve space.
Not soundbites.
Not hustle talk.
Just honesty, shared experiences, and the kind of connection that reminds you you’re not doing this alone.

I’m so excited to share that Leaf & Latch is going LIVE on Instagram for A Conversation That Matters — alongside two incredible fellow mompreneurs — to talk about the real stuff behind business, creativity, life, and showing up as a human first. 🤍

This isn’t a sales pitch.
It’s not about having it all figured out.
It’s about navigating growth, boundaries, balance, and building something meaningful while life is still very much happening.

- Tuesday, December 16th
- 10am PST / 1pm EST
- Live on Instagram

Come listen.
Come participate.
Come be part of the conversation.

Set your reminder, grab your coffee, and join us live — we’d love to have you there. 🌿

I used to think healing meant adding things:
More routines.
More habits.
More discipline.
More productivity.
More doing.

But the truth?
Healing started when I began subtracting.

Postpartum made everything loud.
My trauma made everything heavy.
My life felt impossible to keep up with.

And somewhere in the middle of that chaos, I realized:
My system wasn’t asking for structure — it was begging for space.

I survived then by letting things go:
The dishes.
The guilt.
The expectations.
The pressure to be everything to everyone.

Now, I build my days around energy, not obligation.
I honor my capacity instead of fighting it.
I make room for myself — even in the smallest ways.

🌿 Tiny, doable tip:
Remove ONE thing from your plate today — emotionally, physically, mentally.

You are allowed to make your life smaller so it can eventually grow in the right places.

Save this if you’re trying to lighten your load without guilt.

Truth Time...
When I first tried adding gratitude into my journaling routine, it felt so strange.
Not cute-strange.
More like: “Is this even what gratitude is supposed to feel like??” strange.

Big gratitude felt too far away.
Self-gratitude felt impossible.
And honestly? It almost scared me how unfamiliar it all felt.

Growing up inside trauma and then becoming a mom in the middle of postpartum anxiety, depression, and rage…
my brain was wired for survival, not softness.
So when people said “just be grateful,” it felt like another thing I was failing at.

But here’s the moment it finally shifted for me:

I stopped trying to force the big stuff…
and let myself notice the tiny stuff.

- My coffee staying warm for more than two sips
- The smell of sawdust on my husband’s hoodie
- A quiet moment before the house woke up

It wasn’t pretty.
It wasn’t profound.
But it was mine.

That’s when gratitude stopped feeling like pressure and started feeling like… a possibility.
A tiny doorway back to myself.

And being grateful for myself?
Yeah, I’m still learning that part. (Though Affirmations spoken to myself in a mirror are helping - you got to feel it to believe it).
Some days it feels natural, some days it feels like trying to hug a porcupine.
But it’s getting easier — one tiny, honest moment at a time.

If gratitude feels weird for you too, you’re not broken.
You’re just healing.
Start small.
Really small.
Let it feel awkward until it doesn’t. 💛
