A year-long invitation to take care of yourself
Abundantly You
Companion Guide
A 52-Week Journal for Authentic Self-Care
Fifty-two weeks of teachings, journal prompts, and gentle structure that move you from reading to practice — one week at a time. Undated, flexible, and built to meet you wherever you are.
“You're holding a year-long invitation to take care of yourself — not the version of yourself that others expect, but the version that's been waiting underneath all of that.”
A practice, not a program
The Companion Guide gives you a place to practice authentic self-care every single day. There are no rigid rules and no wrong pace — just weekly teachings and prompts that carry you from awareness, to reflection, to action.
It's designed for anyone who wants a guided, sustainable way to care for their whole self — and who'd rather have a steady companion than a checklist.
- You want a structured, gentle way to practice self-care all year
- You love to journal but want prompts with real direction
- You're navigating stress, burnout, chronic illness, or spiritual growth
- You want to protect rest — and need permission to take it
- You've read Abundantly You and want to live what you read
- Or you're starting fresh — no book required
Seven sections, one unfolding journey
Each section builds on the one before it. Caring for your body prepares you to examine your beliefs; claiming your truth prepares you to face your healing — and so on, across all seven sections.
Your Vehicle
Care for the body and mind that carry you.
Your Beliefs
Examine where your beliefs come from — and which are truly yours.
Your Truth
Claim what's real for you and learn to trust your inner knowing.
Your Trauma
Face old wounds gently, at your own pace.
Your Tribe
Strengthen the relationships that nourish your Authentic Self.
Your Purpose
Live and work with intention, aligned to what matters.
Your Life
Find meaning and celebrate how far you've come.
Trust the sequence, even when you're tempted to skip ahead.
See the guide in your hands
Real spreads from the printed guide — the actual layout, teachings, and prompts, exactly as they appear on the page.
Pages that hold your practice
A teaching to set the theme
Each new section opens with a two-page spread: a condensed teaching that distills the core ideas for the weeks ahead, plus a note pointing you to the matching part of the book if you're reading both.
See how far you've come
Each section closes with a review page — an honest look back at your progress, the wins worth celebrating, the obstacles and what they taught you, and a check-in on your Authentic Self versus Created Self awareness. Not grading; just seeing clearly.
From reading to reflection
Every week opens with a one-page teaching, followed by journal prompts that move you from awareness to reflection to action — enough to work with the concept whether or not you've read the book.
Turn insight into a step
Write your own weekly affirmation and set a weekly action goal that stays visible at the top of your calendar as a daily reminder — plus space for open reflection on whatever surfaces.
Fifty tools to draw from
A curated menu of self-care tools across body, mind, spirit, relationships, and play — starting points you can customize and combine to build a practice that's genuinely yours.
Track how far you've come
A cross-reference table links each week to the matching articles in the book, and a year-end inventory lets you compare where you are in Month 12 with where you began.
Built to fit a real life
Undated, always
No pre-printed dates anywhere. Start in January or a random Tuesday in October — and if life interrupts, pick up right where you left off. No gaps, no guilt about blank pages.
Stands on its own
The guide works completely independently. Every weekly teaching gives you enough to understand and practice the concept, no prior reading required.
Or pairs with the book
Reading Abundantly You too? The two share the same seven-section structure, and a full cross-reference table keeps you in sync.
Room to breathe
Five flex weeks — one at the close of every two-month section — give you space to pause, rest, absorb what you've learned, or revisit a topic that needs more time. Growth isn't linear, and this guide honors that.
Your words, your pace
You write the affirmations, set the goals, choose the tools. This is a practice authored by your Authentic Self — not a script to follow.
Grounded in safety
Clear scope-and-safety guidance throughout, with reminders to move at your own pace and reach for professional support when you need it.
