Got questions? I've got you.
What's the difference between the journals and the reckonings?
The journals are the ongoing practice. 52 weeks of going deeper with yourself, one prompt at a time. Built for a year of honest self-examination. Broad, cumulative, the kind of work that changes how you see yourself over time.
The reckonings are for right now. The specific decision, situation, or crossroads you're currently standing in. Each one is built for a single moment. Not a year, not a practice. You work through it once, before you do something that matters. Some are free. Start wherever you are.
Not sure which fits? If you have a specific thing on your mind, a decision, a transition, something you keep circling, start with a reckoning. If you want the broader, slower work, start with a journal.
What's a reckoning?
A reckoning is a set of questions built for one specific situation. Not a journal. Not a course. You work through it once, before you do something that matters.
The name is intentional. Dead reckoning is a navigation technique. Before GPS, sailors figured out where they were using only what they already knew. Their starting point, their speed, their direction. No external signal. Just their own data, honestly applied. That's what these are for. You already have the information. These questions are how you use it.
The compass in the brand is there for the same reason. It points in all directions at once. It doesn't tell you which way to go. That part is yours.
How do I know which journal is right for me?
Real Growth: when you want the full foundational work. Identity, clarity, what you're actually building.
Love & the Real You: when your heart or relationship patterns need honesty.
The Real Life List: when you're reorienting your life or imagining what's next.
Still not sure? Start with Real Growth. It tends to open everything else.
How do I find the right reckoning?
Browse by category: Career & Work, Starting a Business, Running a Business, Know Yourself, Relationships, or At a Crossroads. Pick the one that names what you're in right now. If nothing fits exactly, At a Crossroads is the catch-all.
Several reckonings are free. There's no reason not to start today.
I'm not really a journaler. Will this work for me?
Good. The people who get the most out of this are usually the ones who've tried journaling, written "today was fine" three times, and given up.
These don't ask you to document your day. They ask you something you've been avoiding. That's a different experience entirely. If 52 weeks feels like too much, start with a reckoning. One sitting. See what happens.
What if I don't know where to start?
Start with what hits. If a reckoning title stops you, that's the one. If a journal prompt makes you want to close the tab, that's also the one.
None of it is linear. There's no wrong place to begin.
Can I gift these?
Yes. Especially if they're ready for real answers. These aren't "just breathe" products. They're for someone willing to actually look at their life.
Journals make a strong gift for someone in a season of change. Reckonings are good when you know exactly what they're going through right now.
Are these a replacement for therapy?
No. But they sit beside it well. If you're in therapy, the prompts give you language and clarity between sessions. If you've been thinking about starting, this might help you figure out what you'd actually want to talk about.
How long does each reckoning take?
The reckonings are designed to be done in one sitting, though nothing stops you from sitting with them longer. As long as you need, or as little as an hour. The journals are built for weekly reflection. Neither is about speed. Both are about going somewhere honest.
What makes No More Bullsh*t different?
Most journals give you a question and a blank page. These give you four.
The Prompt. The Truth Trigger, a paragraph that names exactly what's hard about this question. The Through Line, structured space to actually think it through. The Deeper Cut and a Mantra. Every prompt is built so your first answer isn't your last one.
That structure is in every journal and every reckoning. It's the whole thing.
Are these gendered?
Nope. Written for situations, not demographics. Anyone craving clarity, depth, or a no-BS way back to themselves is the right reader. The prompts don't assume a particular kind of relationship, family, or identity. They leave room for who you are and who you're becoming.
Can I book you for a session, event, or book club?
Yes to all three.
Private sessions: One-on-one or small group journaling sessions, remote or in person. Good for people who want to go deeper with guidance rather than solo. Reach out to talk through what you're looking for.
Book clubs: If your group is reading through a journal together or wants a guided session around a specific theme, I'm in. These work remotely or in person.
Bookstore and community events: Honest, slow-paced, reflection-first gatherings. Not a lecture. More like a room full of people actually doing the work together.

Where can I read more of your writing?
Substack. Longer pieces, behind-the-scenes thoughts, and the prompts that didn't make it into the journals but needed to go somewhere. Follow along at nomorebsjournal.substack.com.
Are more editions coming?
Yes. These three journals are the foundation. Next up on the reckoning side: money and avoidance, starting over in a new city, grief, and reckonings designed to do with someone else.
