MY BRAVE SAD DAYS

Journaling for Those
Finding Their Way

Welcome, young hearts, growing hearts, and the young at heart.

Here you will find journaling guidance with stories and illustrations that follow the paths we walk inside.

Through journaling, you can grow in emotional awareness, build confidence, and deepen your self understanding.

You are invited to explore what you are feeling, think more clearly, and navigate life’s ups and downs with courage and kindness.

Journal, Your Way

If you are new to journaling, My Brave Sad Days can help you get started. There is no right way to journal. But just as physical exercise strengthens the body, journaling strengthens the mind. With regular practice, the benefits become clear.

Who is My Brave Sad Days for?

For those who feel deeply or carry more inside than they show.
For anyone navigating change, strong feelings, identity, loss, pressure, and growth.
For those standing at a new beginning, learning who they are and who they are not.
For anyone who wants to understand themselves more clearly and meet life with courage and kindness.
For those walking beside another heart as they find their way.

Hi, I’m Hannah

Author, illustrator, and journaling guide.

For as long as I can remember, notebooks have been how I make sense of the world.

My work blends storytelling, illustration, journaling, and Ayurvedic psychology to support holistic wellbeing across body, senses, mind, and spirit.

Alongside the resources here, I offer a few local journaling workshops, and a very limited number of 1:1 sessions for those who would like deeper support. If you would like to know more, please get in touch.

Where to begin

Start with a notebook and a pen.

Any notebook will do. It doesn’t matter what it looks like on the outside.

Choose a pen that feels comfortable in your hand, with ink that flows easily across the page.

From there, you can explore the different paths found here.

Over time, journaling can help you

Trust your inner voice — learn to recognise what feels true for you.
Find balance — understand your thoughts, energy, and emotions.
Build confidence — recognise your strengths and move through the world in your own way.
Reconnect — pay attention to your feelings and the hidden depth in ordinary days.

This work is informed by Ayurveda. Through journaling, you begin to process what you are thinking and feeling clearly. Over time, this lightens the load, creating more clarity, balance, and joy.

Get Started

Your inner landscape is important and shapes how you are living each day. There is real reward in understanding yourself, your choices, and your life.

Bring your questions, your uncertainty, your hope. But most of all, bring a notebook and a pen. Together with My Brave Sad Days, you can begin from wherever you are today.
