Meet Isy B.

Hi, I'm Isy B., a creator, artist, writer, and the founder of Isy B., a storytelling design brand from the Cayman Islands. My passion for journaling is intertwined with my personal and professional lives, and journaling has served as a canvas and a roadmap in helping me create my life and navigate my path.

For two decades, my journaling practice has been an essential part of my life and a significant influence on my decisions and creative expression. It's been a huge part of how I got to where I am and I firmly believe in the transformative power of journaling to connect with and understand our most authentic self. I also host workshops to help people connect more deeply with themselves through the practice of journaling.

The Storyteller Journals

Inspired by my personal experiences, and grateful for the life-changing benefits of journaling, I created the Storyteller Journals as part of the Isy B. collections to share the power of reflective writing to help you create your ideal life. Read on to find out how!

What Is Journaling?

Simply put, journaling is the recording of your thoughts and feelings. It can take many forms, shaped by your energy levels, how you feel, what you need, and available time. It can be:

Diary style: A place to keep track of real-life events and reflect on your day.

A stream-of-consciousness hybrid: A mix of thoughts, lists, doodles, drawings, poetry, ideas, observations, letters to yourself, memories, brain dumps, and musings.

A depository: For your feelings, hopes, worries, dreams, frustrations, and secrets.

Writing to build your creative muscles: Poetry, stories—it all works!

The Life Changing Benefits of Journaling

Journaling is a powerful tool for self-awareness, allowing you to slow down and consciously examine your thoughts, manage stress, and navigate your life with more confidence. You can use your journal to explore and support your inner self, be inspired and embrace change, or re-imagine and work towards your goals.

At its core, journaling helps to develop the practice of becoming more aware of yourself, your needs, and your patterns. When you understand yourself better you can operate with greater clarity and intention.

The practice of self-inquiry can help us to get curious about what goes on inside our minds and move us from confusion and vagueness to clarity and understanding.
