And I want to start this episode with a voice memo that I received from a mom in this community

Who's been using the journal for the past year and has seen it make a big difference in her mothering?

Let's hear from her

Hi Rachel, my name is Ali. I live in the Bay Area in California and I have two little boys

And I have loved writing in my flex of gold journal because when I got it

I kind of bought it for myself

Because I was going through this very discouraging time of parenthood where I felt like

It was always like one step forward two steps back and I just needed a reminder of why I was doing this and

And I think having the flex of gold journal has helped me to notice the little things that are going well in the day

Since one of my children brings a lot of challenges and has helped me to be a more present parent

So I'm just very grateful for it. It has definitely changed my mindset about the little tiny

positive moments and helping me to sit in them and be present

And enjoy them and I know the phrase says that the people who are happiest are the ones who realize that they are

And this book has helped me to realize when I am happy or when things are going good. So thank you so much. I'm very grateful for it

Thank you so much for sharing that Ali. I love that quote that the happiest people are the ones who realize they are

And I know from personal experience that sometimes it's easy for our busy lives to pass by us

Without us even realizing that we're happy

The journal definitely helps me to pause and notice the joy I feel being a mother
