About Us

From our founder, Stephanie - The classroom taught me more than I ever expected. Not just about education, but about people. With 13 years of public school teaching and another 13 as a homeschool educator, I've watched students, co-workers, and parents carry the weight of stress, burnout, and emotional overload with nowhere to put it down. 

I've carried it myself. Then I discovered journaling — it brought me joy and helped me process my thoughts. I realized it was not a trendy self-help habit, but  something deeply rooted in how the brain actually works.

I dove into researching the science: what happens neurologically when you write down your thoughts, when you vent your frustrations on paper, when you pick up scissors and glue and create something on a page just because you like to. 

The research is remarkable, and the results I saw in my own life and in the lives of those I care about and my colleagues.

Persuaded To Journal was born from all of it. 

We believe that everyone — teens, parents, late night workers, exhausted professionals, and everyone in between — deserves access to simple, science-backed tools that bring a little more sanity and a lot more joy into their daily lives. 

We're here to persuade you that journaling isn't just for writers. 

It's for you.
