🔥 Ashes to Embers: A Guided Journal for Burnout Recovery
By Matt & Angelica Hays | Creators of The Healing Project

You are not burned out.
You are burning through — into something new.

Ashes to Embers is more than a journal. It’s a soft place to land for the soul who’s been carrying too much, for too long.

Whether you’re feeling exhausted, numb, overcommitted, or disconnected from your own spark, this guided companion was created to walk beside you—through the smoldering places of burnout and into the slow, sacred work of rebuilding.

Written by two healing professionals who have personally walked through spiritual, emotional, and physical burnout, this journal invites you to pause and tend to what remains. Inside, you’ll find:

✅ Gentle journaling prompts to help you name your burnout, release guilt, and reclaim joy

✅ Personal stories from Matt & Angelica offering encouragement and solidarity

✅ Faith-based comfort without pressure, rooted in grace and compassion

✅ Creative space to reflect, sketch, or dream again

✅ Check-in tools for body, mind, and spirit

✅ Tear-out recovery cards with breath cues, affirmations, and daily reminders

You don’t need to fix yourself. You don’t need to start from strength.
You just need to begin—with what’s true for you right now.

This journal doesn’t grade your progress.
It honors your truth.
There is no timeline.
No shame.
No performance.

Only permission.

To rest.
To reflect.
To rebuild.

Whether you're a caregiver, parent, leader, nurse, teacher, counselor, or simply a tender soul trying to keep going—Ashes to Embers is your invitation to begin again. Because beneath the ashes, embers still burn.

Let this be your return.
