*28-day Trauma-Informed Journal

Welcome to Your Journal

Welcome to Daily Ground, a 28-day companion for reconnecting with your body, regulating your nervous system, and creating space for healing and growth. This journal is built for those who want to move out of survival mode and into a life of intention, presence, and groundedness.

Whether you’re navigating trauma recovery, stress, or simply want to deepen your relationship with your nervous system, this journal offers simple, daily practices rooted in somatic psychology, polyvagal theory, and trauma-informed care.

There’s no “right” way to do this — just a commitment to show up, gently and honestly.
