Chasing Freedom, Finding Myself

I’m Eve – a writer, wanderer, and freedom seeker who left everything behind three years ago. My journey has been anything but predictable – from selling everything I owned to running out of funds when my online business failed. Yet every twist in the road has taught me something valuable about living freely and authentically. Now at 34, I write about personal growth, slow living, and embracing the messy, beautiful process of figuring it all out. Care to join the adventure?

Self-Reflection Journal

This journal was born from my own messy journey of figuring things out. When I felt lost and searching for clarity, writing became my anchor.
Created for women in their 30s and beyond who are navigating life transitions or simply craving more meaning, these pages offer the prompts that helped me find my own path to freedom.
No grand promises here – just thoughtful questions to help you reconnect with yourself, clarify what matters most, and map out your next steps with confidence.
Because sometimes, the best way forward is to pause and look within.
