MY BRAVE SAD DAYS

Journaling for Children & Young People

A journal-led approach to supporting emotional awareness, confidence, and self-understanding.

Life is full of ups and downs — bright days, brave days, and sometimes sad days. This space is here for all of them.

Welcome to My Brave Sad Days

Here, you’ll discover gentle guidance to help you navigate life’s ups and downs with courage and kindness.

You’ll find:

  • Journaling guidance — prompts, exercises, and reflections to help you explore your thoughts and feelings, make sense of your story, and grow.

  • Ayurveda insights — simple, practical ways to understand yourself, find balance, and support your wellbeing.

  • Storytelling inspiration — imaginative tales, personal reflections, and creative insights that help you see your life as a story you’re actively shaping, so you can feel more grounded, confident, and connected to who you’re becoming.

Through these resources, My Brave Sad Days helps you build resilience, trust your intuition, and discover the magic within your own everyday story.
