Writers. Thinkers. Doers.

You’ve done everything you were supposed to do.

So why does it feel like you’re just going through the motions?

You don’t have time to think. You’re just moving from one thing to the next. Sienna & Slate helps you pause, create with intention, and build a life that actually feels like yours.

You're building something meaningful. But it's hard to feel grounded while doing it.

Ambition without intention leads to burnout. Busyness without reflection leads to drift. A ritual changes that. It starts by lighting a candle. Choose today's prompt and let it lead you in. Three words or three pages, whatever the day calls for. It's how you start. It's how you stay the author of your own story.

WHAT WRITERS ARE EXPERIENCING ...

The candle set I purchased smells amazing! I will keep coming back to Sienna & Slate to get my candles.

Kyley C.
Leadership Director

I feel like this journal is something with soul, and people that create from a soul-led space will genuinely feel drawn to it.

Melany
Writer

This is like a self-love journey for the writer, thinker, and doer, not just the academic, but anyone who is creating.

Katie S.
Associate Professor

The Ritual Kit is simply amazing! I am so interested to see the next guidebooks.

Meet the Founder

This work was born out of Dr. McClish-Boyd's need to slow down, get honest, and find a way to think and create without losing herself. What started as survival became a practice that she now shares.

As a scholar, researcher, and university professor whose life's work is about one thing: how people story their lives and do meaningful work without losing themselves in the process, Dr. McClish-Boyd developed Endarkened Narrative Inquiry (ENI) - a research methodology built on the belief that who you are and the work you do cannot be separated. Her upcoming book (Routledge) brings that framework to a wider audience.

Sienna & Slate is where that scholarship becomes something you can hold, use, and live. Start with a journal. Go as far as you're ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHO IS THE RITUAL KIT FOR?

The Ritual Kit is for writers, thinkers, and doers who are building something that matters, but feel scattered or disconnected while doing it. If you’re moving from one thing to the next and don’t have space to think, this gives you a simple daily ritual to slow down, reflect, and stay grounded in what you’re creating.

I'VE NEVER JOURNALED BEFORE. IS THIS FOR ME?

Yes. The prompt booklet does the hard part of getting started. You don't need to know what to write -- just light the candle, open to today's prompt, and let it lead you in. Some days you'll write three words. Some days three pages. Both count.
