Why I Made This

I didn’t always love journaling.

But after a series of heartbreaks, career pivots, starting over, the pandemic, and time spent living in different parts of the world, journaling became how I stayed grounded.

It helped me find clarity when everything felt uncertain.
It reminded me of my boundaries when I was tempted to lose them.
It gave me space to come back to myself, one honest page at a time.

It started with big, bold questions shared over texts with my closest friends.
We’d reflect together. Mostly voice notes, plenty of laughs, and sometimes tears.

And I realized:
Some truths are easier to face when someone’s sitting with you.

I scribbled down anything that made me pause—book quotes, song lyrics, bold truths, 
things that felt too honest to ignore.
Eventually, those notes became this journal.

No More Bullsh*t isn’t here to fix you.
It’s here to sit with you—in your growth, your grief, your beginning again.
With structure, soul, and a little gold foil for the days you forget your worth.

If it helps you feel more honest, more anchored, more you, then it’s done its job.
