Crutches into Catapults Leather Journal

Hand-Embossed Leather Journal

Crutches Into Catapults is about transformation — not the polished kind, the earned kind.

This journal is for the woman who understands that what once helped her survive also shaped her strength. The phrase is hand-embossed directly into stained leather as a reminder that support systems, coping mechanisms, and hard seasons don’t disappear — they evolve. What once held you up can become what launches you forward.

The leather cover is hand-stained and naturally imperfect, designed to soften and develop character over time. Each journal will carry subtle variations in color and grain, reflecting the material and the hand-crafted process rather than uniform production.

Sized to integrate easily into daily life, this journal offers space for reflection, processing, planning, and ideas that come from lived experience. It’s meant to be opened often, written in honestly, and kept close.
