Nine to Noa was born from a quiet need—for calm in the chaos, for clarity in the noise, and for gratitude when life felt heavy. As a working mom navigating leadership, family dynamics, and the emotional weight of everyday life, i found myself craving gentle reminders to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what matters.

These desk cards are the prompts I wish I had during those moments—the ones that helped me shift from overwhelm to intention, from reactivity to reflection. They’re not solutions, but invitations. Not advice, but gentle nudges towards presence.

I’m not a therapist or psychologist. I’m simply someone who’s walked through hard seasons and found that small, mindful practices can make a big different. Nine to Noa is my way of sharing what’s helped me stay grounded, grateful, and gently positive—even when things felt messy.

I hope these cards meet you where you are, and help you return to your life—one breath, one reflection, one moment at a time.

With gratitude,
Ashley
