This journal has been designed for the mother who is determined to improve her self-awareness, become the healthiest version of herself, and show up for her kid(s) in a way that will benefit them throughout their lifetime. She is a mom who wants to break patterns of unhealthy behaviors that have been passed down for generations within her family line. She is a mom who is willing to do the work to become mentally and emotionally healthy in order to raise her child(ren) to be resilient, emotionally literate, authentic, and secure. “Intentional” can be defined as: conscious, deliberate, purposeful, and thoughtful. An intentional mother is one who has spent time thinking about why she is the way she is, how she desires to show up as a mom, the ways her thoughts and behaviors impact her child(ren), and areas of her life she may need to heal in order to protect her child(ren) from the influence of her own wounding. She has clarity on the legacy she hopes to leave, and recognizes the steps that will lead her there. So that is what you will find within the pages of this journal: prompts related to your childhood, prompts that address fears and triggers, that challenge your beliefs about motherhood, that bring clarity to what drives current behaviors, that define the legacy you hope to leave, and more. My hope is that after the thirty days, you will know yourself more intimately (yes, as a mother, but also as a human), you will have more compassion for yourself, and you will be able to approach each day as a mom who knows who she is, how she wants to engage and connect, and what she values in her mothering. Raising a child deliberately and intentionally is arguably the most sacred and important job; the fact that you are embarking on this journey demonstrates that you are already an incredible mother. May you find greater depth, clarity, compassion, and joy throughout this experience.
