Rach, what is “WRITE TO HEAL”?

Write to Heal is a 30-Day guided workbook with specific, daily therapeutic prompts designed to heal the past, meet your present self, & set intentions for the future.

This workbook is a culmination of my 18 years in therapy, three years in service of healing storytelling, & desire to support folks in finding their voice (whether that’s to create an impact or simply feel confident and safe in their existence).

You will move through a four-week process of shedding old beliefs & parts of self, meeting & integrating the beautifully full and authentic you, and finding purpose and meaning in your life story.

The Write to Heal Process

Write to Heal takes you on a four-week process of:

🌱WEEK ONE: sowing seeds and setting intentions

Clarify your why, reset your vision, and meet yourself where you are at

🌱WEEK TWO: shedding and unlearning what no longer serves

Let go of mental blocks, integrate shadow parts, investigate and process old trauma, connect with your inner child, and cleanse beliefs that are not yours

🌱WEEK THREE: meeting yourself and finding safety in the present

Align with your value system, define your role as a leader, cultivate healthy entrepreneurial boundaries, and set up systems and plans for maintaining stability as you engage with healing work

🌱WEEK FOUR: growing into your purpose as part of the collective

Draft stories and outlines of potential creative work, familiarize yourself with the communities you’d like to impact, and finalize a solid mission for book, art, or presence you plan to create.

In this workbook, you will…

….Awaken purpose and clarity
(who am I, what do I want/like, & what is my meaning?)

…Discover the innate tools within for wellness and vitality
(how do I stay well, balanced, & connected to living?)

…Cultivate skills and systems for confidence and leadership
(how can I be a leader, healer, or mentor while managing my own realness & humanity?)

…Integrate all that you’ve learned into a focused mission
(who needs my wisdom & how can I feel confident to tell my story?)

Rachel, is this workbook for me?

This workbook is for anyone with a longing to know themselves better, release old beliefs, & re-discover themselves. Write to Heal is also a beautiful way to unlock purpose, remove mental blocks, & get out of creative ruts.

Why I Made Write to Heal

What started as a free writing challenge quickly transformed into a system for cracking wide open in order to witness fully who I was, and what stories were buried inside me and waiting to be told.

In the summer of 2021, I had just published my memoir Where the River Flows. After spending a year re-living my eating disorder and divorce, I fell into a depression that almost ended my life. 

Writing is one of the main vehicles for finding myself again when I'm in the darkness. It's how I alchemize the pain, make sense of the nonsensical, and transmute the trudging-through-the-trenches into wisdom that hopefully helps someone who comes after me.

To hold myself accountable, and perhaps help someone else along the way, I made a free writing challenge called Write to Heal, which contained 30 days of prompts that followed the path through those trenches:

·      Get clear on why I show up to the trenches in the first place

·      Honor any injuries or scrapes that need healing before taking the journey

·      Cultivate the necessary tools and collect the required equipment to make the trek

·      Embark on the journey forward

This is the path Write to Heal takes you on. 

A 30-day process of sowing seeds, leaving what's heavy behind, and proceeding onward with courage and wisdom to show others the way.

This workbook is an extension of that writing challenge, with updated prompts, a clearer structure, and more defined goals and growing points along the way.

My hope is that you find healing, purpose, and growth—and perhaps the wisdom and courage to share what you learn in the end.
