What is Untangled?
"Journaling doesn't remove the pain, but it helps you move through it."
Untangled is a guided journal for women navigating the complex terrain of heartbreak. It gives your emotions a safe place to rest. It turns confusion into clarity. It helps you understand what you feel — instead of fighting it. And with time, it brings you back to yourself.
A Letter from Bella
If you're reading this, you're probably somewhere between heartbroken and lost — and you're not sure which feeling is louder. Maybe it just happened. Maybe it's been months and it still doesn't feel real. Either way — I see you. Breakups don't just end a relationship; they end a version of your future. And that kind of loss deserves to be taken seriously.
I've been through my own heartbreak not that long ago. In that moment, I wished for a simple place to put my feelings. That's why I've created this journal. It's the journal I needed when everything felt heavy and unclear.
Journaling doesn't remove the pain, but it helps you move through it. It gives your emotions a safe place to rest. It turns confusion into clarity. It helps you understand what you feel instead of fighting it. And with time, it brings you back to yourself.
Wherever you are right now — hurting, healing, or somewhere in between — this journal is here to gently guide you forward.
With love, Bella
The Journey Inside
A gentle progression from pain to possibility
Part One
Facing the Pain
Slow down, look gently at what hurts, and begin to understand the story behind your pain. This is where healing begins — with honesty.
Part Two
Rediscovering Yourself
Gather the pieces of who you are — your values, your voice, your desires. Begin to see yourself not as someone broken, but as someone beautifully whole.
Part Three
You Design What's Next
Dream, design, and take small, steady steps toward a life that feels free, grounded, and truly yours. This is where your new story begins.
A Glimpse Inside
Gentle questions to help you find your way back to yourself
Part One · The Knots
"What emotions are you carrying today? Write them without judging them."
Part One · The Knots
"Write a letter to your pain. What does it want you to know?"
Part Two · The Threads
"What brings you joy when no one's watching?"
Part Three · New Life
"When you look back one year from now, what do you hope you'll thank yourself for?"
Words to return to
"I am not starting over — I am starting fresh."
"My worth is not defined by someone else's love."
"Every ending creates space for a new beginning."
"Healing is not a straight line."
"You are the one writing your story."
About the Author
Bella Shah created Untangled from her own experience of heartbreak — the kind that leaves you unsure of who you are without the other person.
This journal is the companion she wished she had during her healing process. Grounded in self-compassion and gentle curiosity, it's designed not as a rulebook, but as a quiet, steady presence walking beside you.
Bella believes that healing happens in layers — and that writing is one of the most powerful ways we can untangle who we are, and rediscover who we're becoming.
She is also the host of Mindwaves, a podcast where she explores relationships, identity, and the quiet work of becoming yourself — one honest conversation at a time.

From Women Like You
Healing is rarely silent. Here, women share fragments of their journey — in their own words, at their own pace. You are not alone in this.
I opened this journal expecting to cry. I did — but I also found things I hadn't said to anyone, things I didn't even know I was carrying. Three months later I still pick it up.
The Wheel of Feelings on the first page stopped me in my tracks. I circled twelve things and realised I hadn't let myself feel any of them. That page alone changed something.
I bought this for my best friend going through a breakup. Then I read a few pages and ordered one for myself. It holds space in a way that people sometimes can't.
A few words, a sentence, a whole paragraph — whatever feels right. Selected stories may be featured here with your permission.
Your words have arrived safely. Bella reads every submission and will be in touch if your story is featured here.
