Hey beautiful souls,
Happy Friday. 🌿
I wanted to take a moment to gently check in, reconnect, and share a little love before we head into the weekend.
If you’ve noticed it’s been a bit quiet on my end lately, you’re not wrong—and I appreciate you sticking with me. The past week and a half has been a whirlwind. I recently started a new job (a blessing I’m truly grateful for), and while I’m loving the work I get to do, adjusting to a new environment and routine has been a big shift. On top of that, I’ve been in the thick of apartment hunting, with a move deadline that’s creeping closer by the day. It’s been stressful, overwhelming at times, and very real.
I share this because I believe in transparency. Just like you, I’m navigating life one step at a time. And even though I haven’t been as present here lately, you—this community—have been on my heart the entire time. I’ve been reminding myself (often) that it’s okay to step back when you need to, and I want to pass that reminder on to you, too.
We don’t always have to be in motion. We don’t have to show up perfectly. And it’s okay to take a breath, reset, and come back when we’re ready.
With that said, it’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and I truly believe this is the perfect time to slow down and check in with yourself. Whether you’re feeling grounded or all over the place (like me lately), you’re allowed to take up space and care for your mental and emotional well-being.
One way I’ve been doing that is through journaling—making space, even just for 10 minutes, to write down what I’m feeling without judgment. That’s why I created The Grounded Self Journal, and for the entire month of May, it’s available for just $4.99.
This journal isn’t about having the perfect answers or being super productive. It’s about slowing down, connecting with your inner self, and finding peace—even if everything else feels loud.

So as we ease into the weekend, I invite you to pause. Put your phone down for a while. Take a deep breath. Light a candle. Journal. Walk. Nap. Do whatever brings you back to yourself. You’ve made it through another week, and that deserves to be honored.
Thank you for holding space for me as I navigate this chapter. Thank you for being a part of this journey. And most importantly, thank you for continuing to show up for yourself.
Wishing you a peaceful, grounded, joy-filled weekend.
With love always,
Jamiah
