What she writes about

Four kinds of quiet work

  • Shadow work

    Carl Jung's idea that the parts of us we push away keep shaping our days, turned into questions you can answer on paper.

  • Self-love

    Five-minute exercises on self-worth, self-care and self-compassion, one small page at a time.

  • Stoic calm

    Marcus Aurelius, Seneca and Epictetus, quoted in full and put to work in a busy December.

  • Keepsakes

    Evening rituals and letters to the baby for a first pregnancy, kept in one book.

The journals

Two of them have their own page with a look inside. The others link straight to the book.

About Olivia

Olivia K. Renner writes guided journals for people who think a lot and say little. Her books lean on the ideas of Carl Jung, on the Stoic philosophers and on plain methods from cognitive behavioural therapy, turned into prompts you can actually finish.

She likes quiet places that slow a person down: an early lake, an old garden, one candle on a weeknight. No magic and no quick fixes, just structure, honesty and room to write.

Olivia K. Renner is a pen name published by Kalderno.
