Are you ready to prioritize YOU this year?
It’s the start of a new year! How are those New Year’s resolutions going?
Maybe you promised yourself you would take better care of your mind and body. But between all the busyness, finding a habit that actually sticks feels overwhelming. Yoga? Journaling? Running? Exercise?
If only there was a simple way to explore self-care without it feeling like another task on your never-ending to-do list.
Is this familiar to you?

- You could connect with others who feel the same about life flying by and find inspiration together?
- You had full-on support from 2 female self-care experts who will cheer you on and guide you every step of the way of this discover journey?

Frequently asked questions
Q: Do I need any experience in drawing or journaling?
A: Nope! This challenge is for beginners. We’re all about having fun and exploring. There is no need to be perfect or brilliant. Just be who you are.
Q: What supplies do I need?
A: All you need is pen and paper! Grab a notebook and something to draw or write with (like a pencil or pen). When it comes to the sketching, you can also use colored pencils, markers, crayons, etc. But this is absolutely not necessary.

Q: What if I can’t make it to one of the live sessions?
A: Both of the live sessions will be recorded. We’ll share them afterwards so you can watch them anytime. It’s still the most fun if you can join live of course 🙂
Q: How long does a live session take?
A: Our live sessions take about 30 minutes. We start with an introduction with a few tips and get going with sketching and journaling.
