I Made a Planner While Trying to Find Myself (And Maybe It'll Help You Too)

I’ve spent the last eight months trying to figure myself out.
Not in some aesthetic, Instagrammable way — I mean really figuring things out. Sitting with my thoughts. Unpacking old beliefs. Wondering who I’ve been and who I’m even trying to become.
To be honest, a quit my job with no real back up plan or plan at all. I just knew I couldn’t do this anymore and I have to take the risk and just go for it. There’s been a lot of untangling and a lot of trusting myself and growing in the process.
And yeah… a breakup was the spark. I think that’s how it starts for a lot of us. Something cracks open and suddenly you’re looking at your life and asking: “What the hell am I even doing?”
The truth is, I’m still in it.
Still rebuilding. Still learning. Still choosing to show up.
That’s kind of what led me to create this planner.
During this process, I’ve turned to a lot of things — books, posts, podcasts, meditating, manifesting, journaling, soul-searching… all of it. I was trying to find something that would help me make sense of everything I was feeling.
But at some point, I realized so much of my life was just thinking… followed by more thinking… and then overthinking.
So, I decided to do something different. I needed to start doing. I thought maybe creating could help me move through it.
And if I was going to create something that was helping me — something that reflected what I was learning, discovering, and unlearning — why not share it?
Why not give it to someone who might be in the same place I am?
I wanted something made from the middle. So that’s what I made.
Meet: The Sacred Middle Planner
It’s for people like me — big-hearted, big-thinking, multi-layered folks who don’t always fit into neat boxes. People who are questioning everything:
Who they are,
What they believe,
What kind of life they want now that the old one doesn’t feel right anymore,
It’s not about being more productive. It’s about being more yourself — whatever that looks like right now.
It’s less of a planner and more of a pause.
I made it using the same questions I’ve been asking myself.
Some parts are about energy — not time. Some are for dumping messy ideas or tracking creative moods. Others are just there to remind you that small wins count and that you’re still becoming, even if it doesn’t look like progress.
It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a starting point. A space to check in, reflect, and maybe ask yourself,
“What do I actually want right now?” Not what you should want. Just… what you want.
If you’re in the in-between — this is for you.
If you’re in the part of the story where things feel unclear, where you’re shedding old versions of yourself and not totally sure who’s emerging yet — I get it. I’m there too.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t need to be ready. You just need to start right where you are.
I made a free 3-page preview if you want to try it. And if it resonates, the full 22-page version is available on Gumroad. No pressure. No timeline. Just support. I hope it is helpful. Let me know if it is or it isn’t. Feedback and such is great.
The middle is sacred. And so are you.
