Heart Talk: The Journal by Cleo Wade is supplement to the author's previously published book "Heart Talk". This journal was written to help the reader reflect to discover themselves and create space in their day for discovery. This is a year-long journal that is organized into 52 weeks with 52 chapters. Each week has a short introduction followed by a weekly mantra and a series of questions. The questions are very open-ended, such as "I am...", "I am saying yes to...", etc which can be very hard at first for people new to journaling but is also an opportunity for creativity. I found the questions helpful and the mantras and poems inspiring. However I wish the writing would have connected more to the actual book since this is a companion to it and I didn't necessarily see how it was relating to the heart talk. I think if the author had each week you go through certain sections relevant to the book would have been valuable. Overall, the writing is nice and would recommend this for individuals who love Cleo Wade.
Many thanks to the publisher Atria Books and Netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

I am a huge fan of Cleo Wade and loved both Heart Talk and Where to Begin and I love journaling, so when I saw this journal, I knew I had to read it.
And it did not disappoint. I've been working with this book for over a month, now and I've loved all of it.
This beautiful journal has a different topic area to explore each week. Each week starts with a short introduction from Cleo Wade on the topic to introduce, an encouragement to dig deep, push yourself, or remind yourself and then a handful of guiding prompts that are both on topic and open-ended.
There is a wide variety of topics but they all live at the intersection of challenging you, inspiring you and encouraging you which is exactly what Cleo Wade's work does for me. So very grateful for this beautiful book and the time I have (and will continue to) spent with it.

Heart Talk: The Journal is a 52-week self discovery journey meant to cause you to pause and reflect on your life. Each week contains an instruction for focusing your journaling and a mantra on which to reflect. Topics include fearing change, meeting your needs, practicing gratitude, getting to love yourself, and more. It is an excellent practice for those who would like to dig deeper into their psyche and for those who may be experiencing transitions or changes in their life. 3.5 star rating.
