Build stronger relationships with yourself & others through guided journaling tools
If you’ve landed here, you’ve probably already done some work on yourself.
You’ve read self-help books, maybe tried therapy, talked things through with friends. You’re self-aware enough to know that growth doesn’t stop when you hit adulthood. Life becomes way more complicated, messy, and frustrating, and we need strategies to deal with it.
I’m a journaler. I used to believe that being self-aware was enough to build a happier, more fulfilling existence. But it’s not.
Neither is endless reflection. Or getting lost in navel-gazing introspection.
Hi, I’m Mena.
I create digital journaling tools to help you move beyond self-awareness into self-management—so you can take what you’re learning about yourself and apply it to how you operate daily.
Because knowing yourself is one thing.
Knowing how to manage your thoughts, emotions, and feelings in a way that actively improves your relationships… well, that’s something else.
Where lived experience meets evidence.
My workbooks blend evidence-based research with real-world understanding. They’re built from both lived experience and behavioral science.
I’m not going to insert some “relatable” personal story here. This page is for you to figure out if my journals and workbooks are right for you.
What I will say is I’ve been self-parenting from the age of 10.
Navigating my emotions, soothing my wounds, figuring things out for myself. This early start in managing my inner world sparked my interest in understanding how people think and behave.
I didn’t realize it back then, but I was practicing self-management—long before I had a name for it.
Two psychology degrees later (one at the master’s level), here I am combining theory with real life.
Creating tools that are accessible to anyone who wants to understand themselves better and make meaningful changes in their life.
Self-management isn’t a one-and-done thing that I can format into a quick-fix course and slap a fancy title on it.
It’s something I still don’t fully know how to teach, because it relies on one’s capacity for personal responsibility, self-discipline, and emotional regulation.
No one can magically transform you into a better, shinier 2.0 version.
That has to come from you.
I’m not a therapist. I’m not a life coach. I’m not the expert of your life. You are. I’m just here sharing tools & resources you might find useful.
Stuff I believe.
I believe self-management is a skill. One that takes practice, structure, and personal accountability.
Everything I create is designed with these principles in mind:
Self-Responsibility
When we take ownership of our actions, emotions, and decisions, real change happens, because it all starts with us.
Straightforward Content
No fluff. No stuffy language. No preachy self-help talk. We keep things clear, relevant and grounded in real life.
Active Growth
Self-awareness is great, but it’s just the first step. What matters is what we do with it. That’s when insight turns into action.
Small Shifts, Big Impact
Real growth isn’t just about massive transformations. It comes from small, intentional changes we make every day.
