The Zebra Health Journey

A health journal created for the complicated, beautiful, frustrating, and completely individual journey of living with chronic illness.

Track. Reflect. Heal.
Every step matters.


Something I’ve Been Keeping Under Wraps…

If you’ve been following my health journey, downloading my guides, reading my posts, sharing your own experiences, or simply cheering me on along the way, thank you.

I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

When I first started sharing my health journey, I never imagined it would grow into a community of people who understood what it means to live with chronic illness, rare conditions, confusing symptoms, endless appointments, medications, tests, flares, setbacks, and all of the little things that come with navigating a complicated medical life.

But it did.

And along the way, so many of you started sending me messages.

You told me what was helpful.

You told me what you needed.

You told me what was missing.

And I listened.

So I’ve been working on something behind the scenes…

Meet The Zebra Health Journey

Coming soon to Amazon

The Zebra Health Journey is a master health journal and tracking system created to help you organize your health information, recognize patterns, document symptoms, and keep your health journey in one place.

Because when you’re living with chronic illness, managing your health can sometimes feel like having a full-time job you never applied for.

There are appointments to remember.

Medications to track.

Symptoms that change from one day to the next.

Lab results.

Questions for your doctors.

Good days.

Bad days.

Flare days.

And those days when someone asks, “When did this start?” and you think…

“Honestly? I have absolutely no idea.” 😂

I’ve been there.

That’s exactly why I wanted to create something different.


Your Health Story, All in One Place

The Zebra Health Journey is designed to give you a place to document the pieces of your health journey that are often scattered across notebooks, phone apps, patient portals, sticky notes, screenshots, and approximately 47 different places you’ve sworn you’ll remember later.

Inside, you’ll find tools for tracking and reflecting on your health over time, including:

  • Daily Wellness Tracking

Keep track of your symptoms, wellness, body metrics, nourishment, electrolytes, sleep, medications, emotional state, and more.

  • Weekly Reflection

Step back from the individual days and look for patterns, changes, wins, struggles, and things that helped.

  • Quarterly Tracking

Look at your health from a bigger-picture perspective and identify trends that may be difficult to notice day-to-day.

  • Six-Month Reflection

Create a broader snapshot of your journey and see how far you’ve come.

  • Long-term Symptom Tracking

Because our bodies don’t always follow a convenient daytime schedule. The journal also provides a way to document symptoms and changes over a long period of time.

  • Medical Information

A dedicated place to organize important health information so that you can have the details you need when you need them.


Why I Created It

There is something incredibly frustrating about knowing that something is happening in your body but struggling to explain it.

You know you’ve been feeling worse.

You know something changed.

You know there might be a pattern.

But by the time you’re sitting in the doctor’s office, you may not remember what happened three weeks ago.

And sometimes, when you live with chronic illness long enough, individual symptoms begin to blur together.

That’s why I believe documentation can be powerful.

Not because a journal can diagnose you.

Not because every symptom has a neat explanation.

But because your experience deserves to be documented.

Your story deserves to be heard.

And having your own information organized can help you walk into your healthcare appointments feeling more prepared and confident.


And This Is Only the Beginning…

One of the most exciting parts of this project is that The Zebra Health Journey isn’t staying on paper.

I’m currently working on turning this concept into an app.

My goal is to eventually offer:

The physical book

A virtual/app version

A digital version of the journal

I want people to be able to use the format that works best for their lives.

And I don’t want to build the app in a vacuum.

I want this community to help shape it.


I Need 10 Zebras.

Before officially launching, I have 10 copies of the first version that I want to give to members of this community.

These won’t simply be giveaways.

I want my first readers to become part of the testing process.

I want your honest feedback.

Tell me what you love.

Tell me what you don’t.

Tell me what’s missing.

Tell me what would make tracking your health easier.

Tell me what you’d want to see in the future app.

Because I don’t want to create something that looks helpful.

I want to create something that actually IS helpful.

And who better to tell me what that looks like than the people living these journeys themselves?


This Belongs to All of Us.

If you’ve ever downloaded one of my guides…

If you’ve ever sent me a message saying, “I experience this too.”

If you’ve ever shared one of my posts…

If you’ve ever told me about your own health journey…

If you’ve ever sat in a doctor’s office struggling to explain what has been happening to your body…

you’ve already been part of this.

Every conversation has taught me something.

Every piece of feedback has helped shape this.

Every person who reminded me that I wasn’t alone helped me realize that maybe I could create something that reminds someone else of the same thing.


Your Health Story Matters.

The Zebra Health Journey isn’t about being perfect.

It’s not about tracking every single thing every single day.

It’s not about turning your life into a spreadsheet.

It’s about giving yourself a place to listen to your body, document your experience, recognize patterns, and reflect on your journey.

Because sometimes healing doesn’t look like getting better overnight.

Sometimes it looks like finally understanding a pattern.

Sometimes it looks like advocating for yourself.

Sometimes it looks like walking into an appointment with the information you need.

Sometimes it looks like realizing how far you’ve actually come.

And sometimes…

it’s simply taking another step.


We May Be Zebras, But We Don’t Have to Navigate the Wilderness Alone.

I cannot wait to share The Zebra Health Journey with you.

The book will be launching on Amazon soon, and I’ll be sharing more information about the first 10 copies and how you can participate in the feedback group.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you for trusting me with your stories.

Thank you for downloading my guides.

Thank you for encouraging me.

Thank you for helping me turn something born out of my own complicated health journey into something that might make someone else’s journey just a little easier.

This little book has been a labor of love.

And I truly hope it’s only the beginning! Contact me here, on my socials, or via text, and let me know if you want a copy of my book!
