Ever feel like you've lost a piece of yourself along life's winding journey? It’s time to find it.

Lean into your true potential, redefine success on your terms, and reignite your passion for life… no matter your age or circumstances. What if rediscovering a whole new vibrant and purpose-filled life was just a journal entry away?

Hi! We’re Allen & Lisa, Co-founders of Bound to Journal.

Isn’t it interesting that you can give guidance to others, but when it comes to your issues, without the right tools, even simple decisions can feel difficult? Our careers were based on helping others and teaching them decision-making skills, but when it came to our own lives, we were too close to issues to see the numerous options out there for us. 

We met after working through some pretty difficult work situations and failed marriages. Individually, we were on a good path, but together we navigated an even more ambitious goal toward healing and growing.
