• The Shift Workbook is a guided self-reflection workbook designed to help you slow down, check in with yourself, and explore the experiences, patterns, relationships, beliefs, and goals shaping your life. Through intentional prompts and exercises, it gives you structure for thinking more deeply about where you’ve been, where you are, and where you want to go.

  • The Shift was created for women who are navigating change, questioning what comes next, or simply wanting to understand themselves more deeply. It is especially rooted in the experiences of Black women moving through adulthood, identity, relationships, career, healing, and personal growth, but the reflections can resonate with anyone who connects with the questions inside.

  • Not at all. The Shift was created with women navigating their mid-20s through early 30s in mind, but there is no age limit on self-reflection. Many of the questions explore experiences, relationships, identity, patterns, and personal growth that can be relevant at different stages of adulthood.

  • The Shift is a 224-page hardcover guided workbook designed to feel like more than just a book of journal prompts. Inside, you’ll find:

    • 9 guided life sections exploring different areas of your life, identity, relationships, experiences, patterns, and future

    • Thought-provoking reflection prompts designed to help you slow down, get honest with yourself, and look more closely at what has shaped you

    • 20+ short-form videos featuring licensed therapists, along with personal reflections from me, woven throughout the workbook. The videos are intentionally conversational and TikTok-style, so instead of only reading a prompt on the page, it can feel like someone is right there talking you through it

    • 3 curated playlists created to accompany different parts of your reflection experience and help set the tone as you move through the workbook

    • Opportunities to revisit your answers and perspectives, so you can notice what has changed as you continue growing

    • A guided progression from past to present to future, helping you better understand where you’ve been, where you are now, and what you want to carry forward

  • No. The Shift Workbook is a self-reflection resource, not therapy or mental health treatment. It is designed to help you explore your experiences and better understand yourself, and it can be used alongside therapy or other forms of professional support.

  • No. There is no required daily schedule or expectation that you complete a certain number of pages at a time. The Shift is designed to be worked through at your own pace. You can spend more time with sections that resonate with you, take breaks, and return to previous reflections as your perspective changes.

  • There is no set timeline. The Shift is meant to be revisited over time rather than rushed from beginning to end. You may move through some sections quickly and spend days or weeks sitting with others. The goal is meaningful reflection, not finishing as fast as possible.

  • Yes. You can use the workbook independently or bring certain prompts, responses, or realizations into conversations with a therapist, coach, mentor, trusted community, or reflection group. You decide what you want to keep private and what you feel comfortable sharing.

  • Yes. You do not need previous experience with journaling, shadow work, or guided self-reflection. The prompts provide structure, while still giving you room to decide how deeply you want to explore each topic.
