From Inspiration to Action

There are so many moments and lessons learned that led to the ideation and creation of this business. It’s one of those things that as I look back, I see the bread crumb trail that paved the path to this new venture. 

I see the collection of personal development books piled up in our home library. I see the favorite part of my teaching week being the first 5-10 minutes of every Monday when my Spanish class watches a motivational video to get the week off to a good start. I see myself listening to podcasts and watching documentaries on how to create the life you want so I could be better for myself and my family. I see something that I knew I needed to do, but couldn’t bring myself to do until it was forced upon me, which ultimately created time in my life to start this. 

Mostly I see the faces of encouragement along the way. I see my husband telling me not to worry about anything and just go for it. I see my family supporting me and helping me with anything I need - which includes quite a bit of babysitting and copy editing. I see my friends sending encouraging “glimmer” text messages and other friends encouraging me with the gift of laughter and a great game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey. I see my cousins listening to my ideas on a six hour road trip and giving me advice and their ideas. And finally, what brought the whole thing together, was an amazing woman saying yes to helping make this idea come to life. Thank you, Ashley, for saying yes and believing in this mission!  

This mission behind Mindset in the Making is simple: It is to empower women to develop a positive mindset, cultivate resilience, and achieve their goals through intention, self-discipline, mindfulness, curiosity, introspection, and gratitude.

The idea started with wanting to create a gratitude journal, but when we began talking about the brand we wanted to create, we quickly realized that there’s more to it than just gratitude. There are other pillars that help create a consistent, quality mindset. So we decided on these six and went for it. Each of these 28-day guided journals was intentionally made with action pages, quotes, and daily reflections to help create a focused time for someone to put pen to paper and get a little inspired.  

By providing these beautifully designed journals (and more items coming soon), we aim to create a supportive community where women can thrive mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This mission is important because a strong, positive mindset is the foundation for personal growth and well-being, enabling women to live an inspiring life. 

So welcome to this journey with us. Follow along as we continue to learn and grow in this new endeavor and hopefully you will find something inspiring along the way!
