our story
From Rock Bottom to Blooming Again — One Page at a Time
Hi, I’m Angela, the heart behind Believe and Bloom.
I’m a proud mum of three amazing children — two are now grown, and my youngest is still in his teens. My daughter is engaged, so I’ve gained a wonderful son-in-law and a beautiful granddaughter, my angel girl. They are my pride and joy.
I’m also engaged to an incredible man who brings three beautiful daughters of his own into our lives. The love and joy I feel today are a world away from where I was just a few years ago. And that’s exactly why I created Believe and Bloom — to show others that no matter how deep the struggle, you can come out stronger on the other side.
You just have to believe in yourself.
How Believe and Bloom Was Born
I’ve always loved planners, stationery, and flowers.
They make me feel happy, calm, organised, and somewhat in control.
One day, I realised that when I brought all those things together, I had something truly healing — my own kind of therapy. I began creating tools for self-reflection, growth, and daily self-love, not from a place of perfection, but from lived experience.
Every Sunday night I would sit down and plan my week, decorate my planner, and make it look pretty — and it became unexpectedly therapeutic. So here I am, designing printable planner pages in the hope that they do the same for you.
My Healing Journey — and Yours
I know what it’s like to feel lost in life, to no longer recognise yourself… to watch yourself disappear under the weight of stress, sadness, or struggle.
But I also know what it’s like to start over — to take small steps, day by day, back to finding your own light.
Journaling, planning, and writing affirmations helped me rebuild my self-worth, along with counselling and deep inner work. They reminded me that I am enough, that I’m allowed to love myself, and that it’s up to me to create my own happiness.
It took time.
It took tears.
But it brought me here — and it was worth every step.
I’m not a mental health professional or therapist. I’m simply someone who has walked the path and found tools that helped.
My hope is that Believe and Bloom helps you, too.
Support for Every Season of Life
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, menopause, motherhood, or just everyday overwhelm, Believe and Bloom offers gentle, downloadable and printable tools to help you pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
From journals and planners to quotes and art, and so much more to come, every page is designed to inspire healing, clarity, and self-love.
Why I Do This
If I can help one person reconnect with their worth…
If one page brings someone peace…

Then I’ll know this little shop has made a difference.
Thank you so much for visiting Believe and Bloom.
Your presence here means more than you know.
