What is shadow work and why is it important for Black women?

Shadow work is the psychological practice of exploring the hidden, repressed, or denied parts of ourselves. For Black women, shadow work is especially powerful because it helps us heal from ancestral trauma, unpack internalized narratives, and reclaim parts of ourselves we've hidden to survive. Our journals provide safe, guided shadow work prompts designed specifically for Black women's unique healing journey.

Are these journals only for Black women?

While anyone can use our journals, they are intentionally designed BY and FOR Black women. The prompts, exercises, and language reflect our specific experiences, cultural context, ancestral wounds, and healing needs. We center Black women because our stories and healing journeys deserve dedicated, culturally-informed tools.

Do I need experience with journaling or shadow work to start?

Not at all! The Soul Alchemy Series is designed for beginners and experienced journalers alike. Each journal includes guided prompts and instructions to support you wherever you are in your healing journey. Start with our free download to get a feel for the practice.

The Soul Alchemy Series: Self-care journals designed by and for Black women ready to heal, reclaim, and rise.

Coach explaining something to an athlete

Created by Ria Giraud (Natural Self Goddess founder), these journals were born from a simple truth: our healing journey is unique. The weight we carry, the stories we hold, the ancestral wounds we're transforming—they deserve tools designed specifically for us.

The Soul Alchemy Series is more than journaling. It's shadow work psychology meets self-care ritual. It's turning inward to rise upward. It's Black women's magic on every page.
