Portal Prompts: 40+ Questions to Unlock Your Wisdom | A Guided Journal PDF

What happens when women stop performing and start sharing their real stories?

At my 40th birthday, I asked 40 women to "sign my yearbook" with their wisdom. What they wrote changed everything.

Now I'm creating The 40 Portal—a book, podcast, and movement of multigenerational women sharing hard-won truths about bodies, motherhood, work, aging, creativity, loss, and becoming who we're meant to be.

This guided journal PDF contains the very questions I asked myself as I was turning 40 and contains bonus questions from my 40 Portal Workshop recording (consider bundling both products for the complete experience!) and my 40 Portal Project.

Whether you're navigating midlife and your own milestone birthday or passing through any threshold moment of change and transformation, this journal will help give you insight into your own inner wisdom.

In this guided journal, you get instant download access, which means this is yours to keep forever. AND...

✓ A welcome note from me about using written reflection to navigate threshold moments — my own constant daily practice & one I've been teaching others for almost 15 years.

✓ Guided Reflection Prompts that invite you to put pen to paper and begin mining your own inner landscape for your own wisdom on topics such as BODY, AGING + APPEARANCE, WORK + CAREER, SEX, CREATIVITY, MOTHERHOOD (OR NOT!), MARRIAGE (or not!), FRIENDSHIP & MORE.

✓ A new daily ritual of self understanding: This journal gives you the framework for sitting quietly and paying attention to yourself, on a regular basis - to listen for and begin to trust your inner voice, your own knowing, your becoming and YOUR wisdom.

✓ An Invitation to join me and countless other women of all ages. Learn more and add your voice at: https://www.catherinezack.com/40portalproject

This is for you if:

• You're standing at a threshold (turning 40, career pivot, new mother, questioning everything)
• You've crossed a threshold and want to share what you learned
• You're craving real women's voices (not influencers, not "experts" — just truth)
• You want to be part of building something revolutionary from the ground up
• You believe your story matters and might help another woman remember who she is

The Details:

Investment: $12, yours for life!

You can instantly download the journal to your device and keep it "forever."

Consider bundling the workshop with The 40 Portal Workshop, which gives you instant & forever access to a video & audio recording of a deeper dive into the 40 Portal & unlocking your own inner wisdom at threshold moments.

Why now?

Because I'm done waiting to be "ready enough" or "wise enough" or "successful enough" to claim my voice.

And I'm betting you are too.

The Portal is open, babe. Your wisdom is needed.
