reconnecting with yourself — one page at a

time.

Reclaiming Joy Workbook

Joy isn’t a luxury—it’s fuel. When you’re burnt out, it doesn’t have to be big or time-consuming; even small, quiet moments count.

This workbook helps you notice and reconnect with the tiny sparks that bring you back to yourself.

Anchors, Anchoring and Positive Emotional Tags

Anchors, anchoring practices, and positive emotional tags are simple, everyday tools that help you feel safe, calm, and connected.

The Intention Setting Workbook

A gentle guide to beginning your day with clarity, direction, and kindness is an invitation to slow down and start with intention rather than urgency. Instead of rushing into tasks or reacting to notifications, it encourages you to create a small, meaningful space to connect with yourself.

The Wheel of Life

The Wheel of Life is a coaching and self-assessment tool developed by Paul J. Meyer in the 1960s, popularised by the Success Motivation Institute and Leadership Management International.

It features a circle divided into eight to ten segments that represent key life areas such as Family & Parenting, Health, Career, and Personal Growth. Users rate their satisfaction in each area on a scale from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 10 (fully satisfied).

By plotting these ratings, individuals can visually identify imbalances in their lives. A balanced shape suggests harmony, while uneven segments indicate areas needing improvement. This tool helps users reflect, set goals, and achieve a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Journalling Workbook

Journaling is a powerful tool for self-reflection and emotional growth. It helps parents:


  • Process feelings and make sense of daily experiences

  • Reduce stress by releasing thoughts onto paper

  • Cultivate self-compassion through mindful writing


By writing regularly, you create space for clarity and kindness toward yourself. Each prompt in this book is an invitation to slow

down, breathe, and reconnect with your inner strength.

ProQOL for measuring Compassion Fatigue

The Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) is a widely used self-assessment tool designed to measure the positive and negative effects of working in helping professions, particularly those exposed to trauma and stress. It is highly relevant to compassion fatigue because it helps individuals understand how their caring responsibilities may impact their well-being.
