Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Joanna Klein.
You’re here because you’re likely seeking meaning in your life journey, whether you feel ready to write your story to share with loved ones or simply understand it better for yourself.
With four decades of experience as a counselor, educator and guide, I offer a gentle, structured process that helps you transform your lived experiences into something that brings clarity, pride, and purpose.
My mission is to help you see your past with compassion, recognize your special gifts, and trust the wisdom you have earned.
You want to feel good about the life you’ve lived and excited for the years ahead. Your stories hold the key.
What Makes Journey to Legacy Different?
Our courses offer a compassionate, guided space to reflect on your life, understand what’s shaped you, and share what matters—whether through quiet insight or meaningful story writing.
At Journey to Legacy, we blend storytelling structure with soulful reflection to help you reconnect with what has mattered most.
Whether you’re writing about or reflecting on your life, this work invites insight, healing, gratitude, and confidence. You’ll be gently guided to:
-
Make sense of your past
-
Honor what you’ve lived through
-
Shape your future with intention
You don’t need to be a writer. You don’t need to have all the answers.
You just need a starting point—and a desire to explore.
