The Power of the Pen: Intimate Journaling Workshop Series
November - Finding Gratitude When Gratitude is Hard to Find
The Power of the Pen Workshops
Every life has a story. Every story deserves a voice.
The Power of the Pen is a series of journaling workshops, an intimate monthly gathering for those ready to reflect, manifest, and uncover the wisdom within.
There is something powerful about putting pen to paper. It creates a space to explore our thoughts, revisit our memories, express our feelings, and discover parts of ourselves that may have been waiting to be heard.
This is a space for becoming. A space to meet yourself more fully, listen to the quiet wisdom within, and allow the magic that lives inside you to unfold.
Through soulful prompts, honest sharing, and spacious reflection, you will have the opportunity to find your truth, clarify your desires, and reconnect with what matters most. Allow the quiet to open a doorway to the whispers of your soul and the possibilities waiting.
You do not have to be a writer to join us. You do not need experience, polished words, or even the belief that you have a story to tell. All you need is a willingness to show up, pick up a pen, and see what unfolds.
This is where we learn, discover, and grow through the simple yet powerful practice of putting pen to paper. We give ourselves permission to explore our thoughts, honor our feelings, give voice to our desires, and bring our dreams into clearer focus.
Our small-group gatherings create an intimate and welcoming setting where we can hold space for one another. Sharing is always an invitation, never an expectation. We listen without judgment, learn from one another's experiences, and discover how much we have in common through our thoughts, our stories, and our writing.
There is something beautiful about finding community in the words we share and the truths we uncover. We begin to realize that while each of us has a unique story, we are often connected by the same hopes, questions, dreams, and desires.
And this is only the beginning.
Throughout the year, we'll explore a variety of journaling workshops, prompts, and themes designed to encourage reflection, spark creativity, and invite new possibilities. Each gathering will offer another opportunity to stretch beyond what we know, look at ourselves and our lives through a new lens, and give ourselves permission to imagine what might be possible.
As the year unfolds, so will we. Through the words we write, the insights we discover, and the dreams we dare to acknowledge, we'll have the opportunity to look back and recognize just how much we've grown, how far we have stretched, and who we've allowed ourselves to become.
You may arrive with questions and leave with a new perspective. You may come with a dream you have barely dared to name and find the courage to give it words. Or you may simply discover the quiet pleasure of making time for yourself.
Whatever brings you to the page, there is room for you here.
Bring your curiosity. Bring your dreams. Bring your willingness to explore.
Bring your pen.
Your words have power. Your story matters.
Journaling Theme for This Month
NOVEMBER: Finding Gratitude When Gratitude is Hard to Find
Gratitude often comes easily when life is going well. But what happens when we're struggling, feeling overwhelmed, or moving through a season of uncertainty?
In this journaling workshop, we'll gently explore the practice of mindfulness and discover how to find moments of gratitude even when life feels difficult. Through thoughtful prompts and quiet reflection, we will learn to slow down, become more present, and notice the small moments of beauty, comfort, connection, and hope that can so easily go unseen.
This isn't about forcing positivity or pretending that everything is okay. It is about making room for what is real while remaining open to the moments that nourish us. Sometimes gratitude begins with something as simple as a deep breath, a kind word, or a small reminder that even in difficult seasons, there is still goodness to be found.

A SPECIAL REQUEST: BRING A JOURNAL THAT SPEAKS TO YOUR SOUL
For this workshop, I invite you to choose a new journal-one that has never been written in before. Not just any notebook, but something that speaks to you.
Perhaps it's the texture of the cover, the color, the beautiful blank pages, or simply the way it feels when you hold it in your hands.
Choose something that feels personal, meaningful, and inviting. A journal that makes you want to open it, return to it, and fill its pages with your thoughts, reflections, questions, and dreams.
There is something symbolic about beginning with a fresh journal. Its pages are unwritten, its possibilities are endless, and its story has yet to unfold.
Consider this journal a gift to yourself—a place where your thoughts can find a voice and your story can continue to unfold.
Bring your journal, your favorite pen, and perhaps a warm cup of coffee or tea.
Most importantly, bring yourself, exactly as you are.

I’m Cory, a Transformational Coach & Peri/Menopause Specialist. I help women navigate peri/menopause, career changes, and mid-life transitions. I believe we are always evolving, that we have the power to rediscover ourselves, define what matters, and create a life that reflects who we want to be. An entrepreneur since age 29, I bring decades of diverse professional experience spanning healthcare operations, consulting, human resources leadership, education, and business ownership. I am a juggler of life, family, and big dreams. Having navigated the messy transitions of divorce, remarriage, and reinventing herself at the kitchen table, time and again, I know exactly what it feels like to balance the world on your shoulders and have dinner on the table by 6 (ok, 7). My personal experience navigating peri/menopause unprepared, dismissed, and scared - inspired my passion for helping women feel informed, supported, and empowered through this powerful life transition. A lifelong learner, I pursued formal coaching training toward International Coaching Federation (ICF) certification and I bring an intuitive, empathetic, and down-to-earth approach to my work. I am passionate about meeting women where they are, creating meaningful connections, and reminding them that no two stories are alike. Every woman has a story to tell, and I am ready to listen.
