Use this journaling activity to reflect on how you’re growing, what you’re outgrowing, and the kind of woman you’re becoming. Give yourself full permission to evolve, without guilt and without apology.

Part 1: Where I Am Right Now

• What’s one part of my life that feels like it no longer fits?

• What part of myself have I been quieting to keep others comfortable?

• If I’m honest, what is tugging at me to change?

Part 2: What I’m Learning

• What have I learned about myself in the last year?

• What values or dreams feel more important to me now than they used to?

• What am I learning to let go of, without shame?

Part 3: Permission Slips

Complete these sentences. You can write as many as you need.

• I give myself permission to stop…

• I give myself permission to start…

• I give myself permission to no longer pretend…

• I give myself permission to want…

Part 4: The Woman I’m Becoming

• How do I want to show up in this next chapter of life, for myself, and for those I love?

• What does a “successful” or “fulfilled” life look like to me now?

• If I could speak to the younger version of me, what would I tell her about purpose, change, and freedom?

Affirmation:

“I am allowed to change. I am allowed to grow. I am allowed to become someone new.”
