Heart Talk: The Journal: 52 Weeks of Self-Love, Self-Care, and Self-Discovery

by Cleo Wade

Inspired by her conversations with the thousands of readers she has met on her nationwide sold-out tours, Heart The Journal is a space to share your own trusts alongside hers. As Cleo writes, “The best thing about your life is that it is constantly in a state of design. This means you have, at all times, the power to redesign it. Make moves, allow shifts, smile more, do more, do less, say no, say yes - just remember, when it comes to your life, you are not only the artist but the masterpiece as well.” Inside, you will find the opportunity to let go, feel what you need to feel, discover your own poetic wisdom, and become the person you want to be.

Anyone looking for positivity, affirmation, and hope? I am super excited to be sharing the work of the inspiring and positive Cleo Wade with you. Her hugely popular book, Heart Talk, is now a journal with “52 weeks of self-love, self-care, and self-discovery.”

A couple weeks ago, I began reading through Heart Talk and taking notes, and in just a couple days I felt a bit lighter. I know this type of self-care works for me. I just need help with the consistency of it, and I’m hoping a year-long formatted journey can help me in this way. I highly recommend Cleo Wade’s work for its simplicity and approachable-ness. Definitely check her books out if you could use a lift and a positive spin, like I know so many of us can right now.

Thank you to the publisher for the gifted copy.

Ik vind dit echt best een mooi werkboekje om weer eens stil te staan bij de basics van zelfliefde. Het is wat cliché en er zijn zeker betere boeken over dit onderwerp. Maar het is wel een puur boek, duidelijk echt bedacht om mensen weer van zichzelf te laten houden.

3.5 stars! I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the book Heart Talk but I think it would be a good journal to work through with the added info from the book Heart Talk. I still did get a few good quotes from this journal and it is very inspirational.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing a free advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I am a huge fan of Cleo Wade and loved both Heart Talk and Where to Begin and I love journaling, so when I saw this journal, I knew I had to read it.

And it did not disappoint. I've been working with this book for over a month, now and I've loved all of it.

This beautiful journal has a different topic area to explore each week. Each week starts with a short introduction from Cleo Wade on the topic to introduce, an encouragement to dig deep, push yourself, or remind yourself and then a handful of guiding prompts that are both on topic and open-ended.

There is a wide variety of topics but they all live at the intersection of challenging you, inspiring you and encouraging you which is exactly what Cleo Wade's work does for me. So very grateful for this beautiful book and the time I have (and will continue to) spent with it.

Heart Talk: The Journal by Cleo Wade is supplement to the author's previously published book "Heart Talk". This journal was written to help the reader reflect to discover themselves and create space in their day for discovery. This is a year-long journal that is organized into 52 weeks with 52 chapters. Each week has a short introduction followed by a weekly mantra and a series of questions. The questions are very open-ended, such as "I am...", "I am saying yes to...", etc which can be very hard at first for people new to journaling but is also an opportunity for creativity. I found the questions helpful and the mantras and poems inspiring. However I wish the writing would have connected more to the actual book since this is a companion to it and I didn't necessarily see how it was relating to the heart talk. I think if the author had each week you go through certain sections relevant to the book would have been valuable. Overall, the writing is nice and would recommend this for individuals who love Cleo Wade.

Many thanks to the publisher Atria Books and Netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

"Heart Talk: The Journal" is a companion to Cleo Wade's "Heart Talk" a poetic self help book. I found myself drawn to this because of my interest in journalling and self help journey. The prompts were perfect for someone who needs a small amount of structure to get started but likes open-ended opportunities. I enjoy Cleo Wade for her feminism and her approach to betterment by first applying self-care before all others.

I've only done about 10 of the weeks but I've found it helpful so far, I will try to update in the future to how it fares for me.
