About Shannon, the author
I used to be the queen of overthinking, constantly worrying about the past and stressing over the future. I struggled with anxiety and felt like I was constantly in a state of mental chaos.
It wasn’t until I started journaling that I discovered the power of intentional living. At first, I was hesitant to pick up a pen and write down my thoughts, but I soon realized that journaling was a safe space where I could freely explore my innermost feelings and emotions.
Through journaling, I was able to clarify my values and set meaningful goals for myself. I discovered that I had a passion for writing and a desire to help others, which led me to create wellella.com in 2017.
Now, I make it a priority to set aside time each day to reflect and write in my journal. It’s become a meditative practice that helps me stay centered, focused, and true to myself. Journaling has helped me live with more intention and purpose, and I am forever grateful for the clarity and insight it has brought into my life.
I always enjoyed drawing as a child and later went on to study at MassArt in Boston, Massachusetts. There, I created my first handmade journals, and started using a Moleskine planner (the pocket size one in red). Later, I discovered bullet journaling and immediately saw its potential as an organizational tool and as a creative outlet.
As an “adult scholar” pursuing a degree in education while also working full time and being a mom, staying organized and managing my time effectively is crucial. While it can be challenging, with a few key strategies, I can successfully juggle all of my responsibilities and, hopefully, achieve my goals.
My wish is that I can pass along whatever knowledge or help I can to anyone who needs it, so that you can also be successful at whatever you want out of life as well.
