A shadow work journal to uncover your ideal self and unlock your higher purpose, by self-help queen Flex Mami

This journal is a place for everything you’re too afraid to say out loud. Flex Mami provides the questions, you provide the answers.

Your shadow self hides from you, like a dream you can’t hold on to in the morning. Shadow work helps you face your deeper, darker or even repressed sides – so you can start listening to the voice that makes you feel honest and alive.

Begin on SIDE ONE and let your subconscious speak. What are you hiding from? Answer the hard questions, face the parts of you that feel contradictory, challenging, painful. The more you write, the more you reveal.

Then, once you have self-excavated, flip over to SIDE TWO. Use what you’ve discovered through automatic writing to create your preferred story. You have the knowledge to consciously script your future.

Containing 190 enlightening prompts, Ask Yourself This is a self-discovery journal like no other.

With Flex Mami’s guidance, you can find what you’ve always wanted for yourself but have never been allowed to claim.
