Calm Catalyst

Lawrence B — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 22:22:11 +0000

Calm Catalyst was born from a deep-seated passion. Our founder, Erin Young, has always found solace and strength in the world of planners and journals. For her, these meticulously crafted tools weren’t just about organization; they were a sanctuary amidst life’s chaos. They became her outlets for stress, her guiding lights for staying on track. With a heart full of gratitude for the comfort these products provided, Erin was inspired to share this gift with others facing similar stresses.

The name “Calm Catalyst” was a deliberate choice, reflecting the essence of Erin’s vision. “Calm” signifies stillness, tranquility, and a sense of quiet amidst the storm. “Catalyst” represents a force of positive change without undergoing a permanent transformation itself. This duality resonates deeply with Erin’s philosophy: to be a catalyst in people’s lives, offering selfless help, guidance, and inspiration both professionally and personally.

At Calm Catalyst, our mission is to empower individuals to find that sense of calm within, to inspire positive changes, and to make life’s journey more fulfilling and better. We invite you to be a part of this transformative journey with us. Every page in our products are an opportunity for growth.
