About Me
Hi, I’m CJ — and this space is more than a platform. It’s a rising.
Resilient Journeys was born from the ashes of my own story — healing from trauma, untangling emotional wounds carried since childhood, learning to trust again, and discovering the radical power of self-compassion. Life has knocked me down more times than I can count. But each fall shaped me. Each rise reminded me: strength isn’t in the staying up. It’s in the getting back up.
Healing isn’t linear. It’s messy. Personal. Courageous. And no one should have to walk that road alone. That’s why I created this space — not as an expert on a pedestal, but as a woman in the firelight, making room for others at the table.
Here, you’ll find books, tools, rituals, and real talk — all designed to help you reconnect with your inner compass and rise in your own time, in your own way. I believe in the magic of growth, the necessity of kindness (especially toward ourselves), and the quiet, unstoppable truth that we can rewrite our stories.
🪽 If you’re here, you’re not broken — you’re becoming.
Welcome to your next chapter. You’re seen.
You’re valued. You’re home.

Embracing Resilience, Self-Empowerment, and More
Welcome to Resilient Journeys. My name is CJ, and I am a writer, survivor, and advocate for healing, resilience, and self-discovery. My journey has been shaped by both personal experiences and a deep desire to help others reclaim their power after trauma.
For much of my life, I struggled to understand why the past still held so much weight in my present. Like so many others, I carried wounds that weren’t always visible but were deeply felt—affecting my confidence, my relationships, and my sense of self-worth. Over time, I learned that healing isn’t about erasing the past; it’s about rewriting how we carry it.
I created Resilient Journeys as a space for those who have walked through the storm and are ready to step into their power. Through my writing and work, I explore the impact of trauma, the resilience of the human spirit, and the ways we can move forward with strength and self-compassion.
Why I Wanted to Do This
I know what it feels like to be lost in the aftermath of pain, to wonder if you will ever feel whole again. I also know that healing is possible. My book, I AM THE STORM: Embracing Resilience and Self-Compassion, was born from a desire to empower others to reclaim their stories—to remind you that you are not broken, and you are not alone.
Resilient Journeys is more than a brand—it’s a movement. Whether through books, shared experiences, or personal reflection, I want to offer a guiding light to those who are still finding their way. My mission is simple: to help others rise, heal, and embrace the storm within.
