Journeys With My Body vs Writing Identity

My Experience

JWMB is such a wonderfully safe and fun environment for women of all ages to share the journeys and obstacles we encounter through our lives and with your bodies. It’s a wonderful place to find other women experiencing similar or new experiences that then bring the topic to life with engagement, stories and advice. So happy I joined and am learning more and more about womanhood and myself through this community!

Accepting

I really connect with this group and feel I can be myself and share my experiences.

Heidi's community is a rare gem

I joined the Journeys with My Body community a few months after the loss of my father, and I'm so grateful I did. During one of the most difficult times in my life, Heidi was incredibly warm and welcoming. Her community provided a safe space for me to explore how grief was impacting my body. Heidi offered wonderful, accessible ways to help me check in with my body and honor its needs during a time when I was struggling to take care of myself. Her approaches are practical, actionable, and they truly work—not just theory, but real tools I could use immediately. Beyond her excellent facilitation, Heidi is remarkably generous. She invited me to share my work around helping people reduce sugar with her community, and the experience was wonderful. The workshop participants were engaged and receptive, which speaks volumes about the kind of community she has cultivated. In a sea of different approaches to self-love and wellness, Heidi's community is a rare gem. She was pivotal in helping me move through my grief and heal. I can't recommend this community highly enough.

Amazing Community and Mentorship

Alli has created something really special in The Village. Between the daily prompts, classroom, weekly zoom calls, and her 1:1 mentorship; it is a space where I feel free to be myself, write ugly without judgment, and feel genuinely supported and encouraged to hear my own voice again. I have been working 1:1 with Alli and have learned so much about myself. She has helped me put words to things I had been feeling for a long time but wasn’t able to explain. She has created and shared tools to help me work through my emotions and finding myself again. Alli has been so thoughtful, supportive, and intuitive from the very beginning, and I feel truly seen and understood. I highly recommend Alli and her community!

Alli Gatlin knows what she's talking about

Alli Gatlin knows what she's talking about. Her journaling advice and written prompts are excellent, but what proved even more valuable to me was talking with her one-on-one. The combination of encouragement and plain-spoken truths she delivered allowed me to overcome the worst of my self-doubt and really embrace a sense of confidence. Highly recommend.

Alli is a professional writer and a great person!
