Editor's Note
Writing is my way to get clarity of my life and seek deeper and more intimate conversation with God. Over the course of years Flock came into play and in hindsight God was ordering each and every step. Flock became an extension of the petitionand prayer I practice but is now digital!
In 2022, I found out I was pregnant. My husband and I were so excited, but most of our pregnancy was terrifying. I couldn’t keep food down for months, I lost a lot of blood, and I spent more than half the term running back and forth to the ER. In the middle of all of that fear, I found solace in journaling. I journaled every single day. I wrote my prayers, the plans I wanted for the future and every, plea to God. And slowly, I began to process and heal from my past and that life altering experience. I meditated on Philipians 4:6-7 and through that scripture Journaling became my way of healing. I went on to write a book of prayers for expecting mothers, created a digital community of more than 100 women, wrote two journals, and now I am starting Flock the digital journaling platform and community. God calls us to walk with others, and carry one anothers burdens. Today, my daughter Nyla is two going on 3 years old. The beauty in the pain that I faced was not just the birth of my wonderful daughter but of an idea.

2023 - The beginning

"Something bigger than just writing "
Mission
From childhood through our day-to-day lives, we all carry so much, but we rarely slow down to sift through it. Journaling gave me a way to draw closer to God, but even if that’s not your story, writing opens pathways to healing and habit-building. Research shows journaling helps people process trauma, and regulates dopamine.
Flock is a digital space designed for your whole self and that includes your spirit!
I have faith that Flock will be much more than an app. God has blessed me with so many ideas on wellness and outreach. Our goal is to reach people in all situations from the youth to the incarcerated.

ANDREA / FOUNDER
Ibirthed Flock out of one of the hardest seasons of my life. I am a creative technologist turned founder and former stay-at-home mom. I built Flock for people who are carrying something, no matter what it looks like or where they come from. Whether it’s foster care, prison, or just the weight of everyday life, this is a space to process it. (The Everyday Space for Everything on Your Mind) To write it out, to understand it, to grow from it and maybe make a connection with someone else experiencing something similar. It’s not just about planning, it’s about real transformation through journaling you can realize who you are, and using writing as a tool to think clearer, speak better, and move differently.
