You hold so much.
The lists, the tears, the tiny hands.
You hold so much.
The worries, the pain, the sleepless nights.
But who holds you?
Who holds your inner girl?
The one who feels shame and rejection
The one who feels failure and unworthiness
The one who feels unseen and unlovable
The one who wants to be valued, and cherished.
The one who is still longing to be cared for.
She still lives inside.
Do you know her?

She learned to be quiet. To give. To put others first.
Most of the time she might hide away, protected.
But sometimes, when she feels vulnerable, she may cry out.
Do you know her?
Maybe when your child’s tantrums, it awakens the part of you that feels you are never enough.
Maybe when your child refuses to listen to you, it awakens the part that feels powerless and small.
Maybe when your child pulls away, it awakens the part of you that felt rejected.
Maybe when your child cries endlessly it awakens the part of you that feels like a failure.
Maybe the moments that make motherhood so hard, are really moments that echo your own story.
Maybe the awakening of your inner wounds is an invitation to heal them.
And maybe, just maybe, you can begin to heal the girl inside.
From One Mother
to Another
Hello, fellow mother.
I see you.
I see how hard you work. How much you try. How much you already are.
And I commend your bravery to come here.
To open yourself up to your inner self.
To open yourself up to healing.
Who am I, you want to know?
I’m Yocheved Rottenberg, CJF.
A woman and a mother just like you. 🙂
I’m also certified in Journal to the Self, Journal Facilitation, Internal Family System, and Nurtured Heart, using therapeutic writing, trauma modalities and expressive arts.
This journal is what I wish I’d had.
A safe place to explore my patterns and meet my inner girl with gentleness and care.
A way to honor the girl I once was and integrate her into the mother I was becoming.
A path to heal my younger self, so I could mother my children from a place of wholeness.
This isn’t another parenting strategy.
It’s a space to see, hear, and soothe the inner girl still living within you —
so you can show up for your children with steadiness, love, and grace.
I’m so honored to walk beside you.
With appreciation and compassion,
Yocheved
You may be wondering:
Is this for me?
If you’ve ever felt:
Overwhelmed by your child’s big feelings
Confused about why your child’s struggles feel so personal
Unsure why you're repeating patterns you promised you’d break
Held back from being the calm, focused mother you long to be
Guilty about moments you wish you could handle differently
And if you desire:
A more authentic relationship with yourself and your child
More self-understanding, so you can respond instead of react
The confidence to break generational cycles and parent differently
A more peaceful, connected home environment
Healing for the little girl you were, for the woman you are today
…then this journal is for you.
Because you deserve to feel grounded and capable.
Your child deserves a mother who feels safe within herself.
And your inner girl deserves a place to heal, too.

Some questions you may be wondering about:
A: No. This is a space for you. A place to meet yourself with kindness and compassion. It will help you parent from a place of healing, but it is not a “how-to.”
A: Inside, you’ll find clear guidance and direction for how to use the workbook. Each theme and prompt is a suggestion. Take your time. Let each entry sit with you. It’s your personal reflective journaling journey inward.
A: This workbook is not a replacement for therapy with an experienced professional. The intention of the workbook is to allow you to explore your inner world in a gentle and healing way. This is to be used at your discretion in a way that feels supportive of your progress.
If you feel that the writing is too overwhelming for you, or is pushing you to a place you are unsure you will be able to get out of, please stop writing immediately. If you feel that you need additional guidance, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional.
A: No, you do not need to be a writer to use any WYWH products. All you need is a pen, paper, and an open and honest heart.
A: Therapeutic writing is more than journaling. It’s a structured, intentional practice that helps you access your inner world with clarity and compassion.
Unlike open-ended diary entries, therapeutic writing gives shape to your experience through structured practices like goal-oriented exercises. It’s not just about venting. It’s about discovering insight and finding a way forward through the act of writing.
Another core element of therapeutic writing is reflection. Reflection allows you to step back from what you wrote and ask: How do I feel now?
A: Pause. Breathe. You can always come back. These pages will wait for you.
Give yourself the chance to:
Notice the patterns you carry into motherhood
Meet yourself with compassion instead of self-blame
Break free from generational baggage
Choose the legacy you wish to carry on
And be the mother you always dreamed of being.
Through:
Touching images that gently awaken your inner little girl
Thoughtfully crafted writing prompts designed for searching mothers
Evidence-based self-help techniques rooted in therapeutic writing, IFS, and Expressive Art
Mommy,
you give everything to your children.
This is your invitation to give something to yourself.
Your inner girl is waiting.
You are worth this.
