Beta Release Journal 
Reflections Reflections from the Journey

When the Values-Based Living Journal was piloted at the New Life Program in New Hampshire, the women who engaged with it spoke with raw honesty, courage, and spiritual insight. 

Their words are unfiltered reflections of transformation—testimonies of healing, revelation, and growth. Though their names remain private, their experiences speak volumes. Here is just a glimpse into what surfaced when they were given space to pause, reflect, and rediscover who they are through the lens of their values and faith: 

“It was like looking into a mirror. I saw parts of me I didn’t even know were there.” 

“I never realized I had been living without boundaries—and now I can’t go back.” 

“The tree and gate story, that’s still living in me.” 

“I used to think values were just the good stuff. I didn’t know you could value something negative.” 

“Doing this felt like tending a wound. It stung, but healing was finally happening.” 

“The Holy Spirit used this to bring things up that I’d buried. I’m walking different now.”
