She was never broken. She was just becoming.
To the Girl Who Was Trying is a guided self-compassion journal thoughtfully created to help women let go of guilt, soften self-judgment, and gently reconnect with the parts of themselves they've quieted or set aside along the way.
Through 24 heartfelt letters - honest, emotional, and healing - this book invites you to pause, look inward, and come home to yourself.
Whether you're moving through grief, midlife transitions, burnout, or spiritual rediscovery, To the Girl Who Was Trying meets you where you are - with tenderness, not pressure.
Perfect as a gift to yourself, a dear friend, or a mother navigating change, To the Girl Who Was Trying offers not advice - but a hand to hold.
Inside, you'll find:
Letters to Self: Honest reflections to help you forgive who you were, honor where you are, and imagine who you are still becoming Gentle Prompts: Guided journaling spaces after each chapter, offering you time to breathe, soften, and listen inward Timeless Wisdom: Meditative quotes from Stoic thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, grounding you in strength, resilience, and quiet hope Simple, Flexible Format: Read one letter at a time or move intuitively - there's no rush, no right or wrong way
This journey unfolds across three parts:
Part I: Looking Back - Memory, Regret, and Letting Go Part II: Being Here - Stillness, Worth, and Self-Compassion Part III: Moving Forward - Rediscovery, Confidence, and Peace
Each section gently mirrors the emotional arc of healing:
first honoring the past, then rooting yourself in the present, and finally opening space for a softer, braver future.
