Writers. Thinkers. Doers.
You’ve done everything you were supposed to do.
So why does it feel like you’re just going through the motions?
You don’t have time to think. You’re just moving from one thing to the next. Sienna & Slate helps you pause, create with intention, and build a life that actually feels like yours.
You're building something meaningful. But it's hard to feel grounded while doing it.
Ambition without intention leads to burnout. Busyness without reflection leads to drift. A ritual changes that. It starts by lighting a candle. Choose today's prompt and let it lead you in. Three words or three pages, whatever the day calls for. It's how you start. It's how you stay the author of your own story.
Meet the FOUnder
This work was born out of Dr. McClish-Boyd's need to slow down, get honest, and find a way to think and create without losing herself.
What started as survival became a practice that she now shares.
As a scholar, researcher, and university professor whose life's work is about one thing: how people story their lives and do meaningful work without losing themselves in the process, Dr. McClish-Boyd developed Endarkened Narrative Inquiry (ENI) - a research methodology built on the belief that who you are and the work you do cannot be separated. Her upcoming book (Routledge) brings that framework to a wider audience.
Sienna & Slate is where that scholarship becomes something you can hold, use, and live. Start with a journal. Go as far as you're ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Ritual Kit is for writers, thinkers, and doers who are building something that matters, but feel scattered or disconnected while doing it. If you’re moving from one thing to the next and don’t have space to think, this gives you a simple daily ritual to slow down, reflect, and stay grounded in what you’re creating.
Yes. The prompt booklet does the hard part of getting started. You don't need to know what to write -- just light the candle, open to today's prompt, and let it lead you in. Some days you'll write three words. Some days three pages. Both count.
The products -- like The Ritual Kit-- are the physical tools for your daily practice. The Practices are offerings that go deeper into specific patterns and themes, like perfectionism, comparison, or burnout. The two work well together, but you don't need one to use the other.
