What our clients are saying.

From our first Zoom conversation, Joanna made me feel seen, heard, and safe. Even if I hadn’t finished a single story, I would never regret investing in this program. Joanna has walked beside me every step of the way. What an honor it’s been to share this journey with openhearted, wise, vulnerable people from around the world. What we’ve shared in this sacred circle will stay with me for the rest of my life.

“Every story I’ve written started as one thing and became something else — revealing something about myself, bringing peace and resolution. There’s beauty in the unexpected twists, memories long forgotten, all coming together to create not just a mother, wife, or grandmother, but a whole human story. Writing and sharing with like-minded, strong, intelligent people is a journey I wish had no end.”

“I was drawn to this program as a vehicle for self-discovery — to answer the question, ‘How did I become the person I am today?’ As I’ve delved into the stories of my past, I’ve gained insights that have often taken me by surprise. Sometimes Joanna teaches, at other times she asks just the right questions. She invites and supports, always with the goal of helping us explore. I wholeheartedly recommend this program.”

“I thought it would just be fun to write down a few stories for my grandkids. Then Joanna’s prompts carried me on an amazing journey through decades, friendships, romances, historical events, foreign countries, disappointments and successes. Suddenly my memories became fascinating road maps of how to live a beautiful life — for those I love, and perhaps for children of my children not yet born.”

“I’m 82 and healthy, but I feel the sense of an ending. I had old journals and stories I’d procrastinated on for years. Joanna is so able to convey how to value all experiences that lead to where and who we are. Her prompts jogged new memories and insights. For me it’s a lot of work and struggle — and so worth the commitment.”

At 83, I felt time was of the essence. Journey to Legacy helped me create a beautiful book with photos for my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. It was the tough stories that eventually — with Joanna’s guidance — became easier, then enjoyable. The puzzle pieces of what were once missing became clearly understood. No amount of words can express my gratitude. Yes indeed, it has been a journey, not a destination.”

“This course helped me dive back into some really painful decisions and writing about them has been healing and self-affirming. Joanna is a fearless leader with incredible insight for when I got stuck. I learned to just do me with my writing and not conform to a certain format. That freedom helped me stop judging myself. This course could not have come at a better time in my life.”
