Getting me back on track
I love(d) journalling and was so uber consistent for years and then I had kids... My youngest and last is now a whopping 10 months and I still haven't been consistent. However it has been more consistent than it was all thanks to Tamara's group and the prompts. The daily prompts (for premium members) have been fun, low pressure but still deep and eye opening. So fun in fact that I actually traveled to go meet Tamara in person with my youngest so she could meet the trouble maker keeping me tired. She was super lovely in person and we have plans to do that again. Especially if she ends up in my neck of the woods. And I can share when I want as much or as little without pressure. Plus using gifs in the community is fun too.

Noob Journal-er?
I am a total noob to journaling. InkConnections provides a space that creates space for all levels of experience. With daily prompts, a warm energy, tips, & tricks, I'm finding that journaling is not just a hobby... but an excellent practice that helps me to understand myself, my relationships, and even my business on a much deeper level.

Journaling community with high potential
I have been part of different journaling communities for several years now. But Tamara is different. It is obvious how much passion and effort she puts into creating this community. She is very active and engages with the community members daily. You can feel how much she cheers and cherish the people of her community. It is a safe, comfy online space which I can´t wait to see how it grows.

Very welcoming
I just joined the lab I like what the lab is about and the purpose behind the Escaper’s Lab. It’s very welcoming and I already feel bonded with communicating with just the Founder

I give The Escaper’s Lab 5 stars.
I give The Escaper’s Lab 5 stars. What first made me join was Kesha herself. Her personality, her heart, and the way she genuinely cares for her people stood out right away. Her community feels like home. It is that safe space where I can show up as myself, without feeling judged or like I have to have everything figured out. Kesha is not only an educator, she is a motivator and an inspiration. She has created a space for women over 40 to unlearn old patterns, stop living on autopilot, and begin making small, meaningful changes one step at a time. Thank you, Kesha, for being who you are and for creating a community that feels so needed.

Love this community!
I joined The Escaper's Lab based on someone's recommendation of the community. I wasn't sure what to expect at first. What I discovered was a fun group with great engagement and simple, effective tools. I love Kesha's energy, humor (makes me smile and laugh every day I'm in there) and practical insights. One thing I focused on improving in the group was workout frequency. I've increased that and I've shifted out of hating, resisting and dreading my workouts and into working out because I want to. I'm also enjoying the tools to get out of overthinking. What I've experienced with those so far is deeper awareness and quick action from easy-to-use tools and fun resources.
