Life is all about emotions.
How you feel determines what you do.
What you do determines your results or lack of results.
Here's the Problem.
You are taught that your circumstances determine your emotions and results which leaves you either:
Trying to control the world.
Isolating because trying to control everything is impossible & exhausting.
Numbing your emotions because you don't like how you feel.
Our Emotional Education has Failed - It’s Time for a New Approach
If traditional emotional education worked, we wouldn’t be facing a crisis of mental health, stress, and overwhelm.
The self-help industry is a multi-billion dollar machine, yet people are still overmedicated, overstressed, in debt, and unfulfilled.
More information isn’t the answer. Consuming books, podcasts, and courses can feel productive—but without action, nothing changes.
💡 What if, instead of studying someone else’s path, you studied yourself?
💡 What if this was the moment you finally questioned your unexamined thoughts and limiting beliefs?
💡 What if this was the time to process the emotions that have been holding you back?
You won’t find true, lasting transformation in another book or a podcast.
You’ll find it with a pen, paper, your brain, and your heart inside of...
A step-by-step SYSTEM for LIFE-LONG change.
You’ll rewrite your story and create empowering beliefs—starting with a blank page.
At HJU, you’ll become your own greatest teacher and grow into the person you’ve always wanted to be.
Heartwork Journaling University Curriculum
Orientation & HJU Tools Training
(Your first two months in HJU)
The Equation of Emotion:
- Discover what creates every emotion you feel and action you take so you begin creating your results on purpose.
Your Emotional Global Positioning System:
- Know exactly where you are and how to get to where you want to be.

Thought Ladders:
- Discover how to move forward one believable thought step to the results you want to create on purpose.
Monthly Growth Path Curriculum
Follow A New HJU Growth Path Each Month After Orientation & HJU Tools Training
Each HJU Monthly Growth Path is divided into four parts.
Week #1 - Instructional Lesson
Guided Self-Coaching
In the first lesson of each Growth Path, Maritza will show you how to apply the Heartwork Journaling Tools you learned in Orientation to move you further down your path to success.
Get your notebook and sharpen your pencils.
It's time for class!
Week 2 - Experiential Art Lesson
Powerful Play with a Purpose
In the second lesson of each monthly Growth Path, Maritza will guide you through a creative Heartwork Journaling Lesson that combines simple art anyone can do with self-compassion, kindness, and color to the deep inner work that moves you forward.
These Heartwork Journaling Lessons are designed to help you see your thoughts and emotions so you can coach yourself to create more of the results you want.
Break out your favorite art supplies or just grab a piece of paper and a pen or pencil.
It's time to use art and creativity to learn and grow!
Week 3 Lesson
Doodle Your Emotions Lesson
In the third lesson for each monthly Growth Path, you'll follow along with Maritza and create 2 Doodles about 2 Emotions related to your Growth Path.
One of the emotions feels good to neutral and the other feels bad.
You'll do a deep dive to gain more awareness and understanding of how each emotion shows up for you, how they can get in the way, how they can help you, and how to process them in a healthy manner that moves you forward.
Week 4 - Student's Choice/Study Hall
Your Choice: Catch Up, Explore, or Reflect
The final week of each Growth Path is designed for flexibility and growth. Use this time in the way that serves you best:

✅ Take a breather and practice self-coaching with the skills you’ve developed

What Students say about HJU...
"Changed My Life."
"I have tried therapy but always left sessions either feeling the same or worse. I wanted "tools" but never got them. People would say that you can "choose your thoughts" but I never understood how that worked.
With the EGPS and the Equation of Emotion, I now have a tool that works. This has truly been a lifeline for me and I am eternally grateful."
Avis Board
"Exceeded My Expectations"
"I was expecting something more like the crafty online classes I do, which would have been fine.
Instead, I am so pleased with the caliber of the site and the content, not to mention the quantity and variety of lessons available.
I truly feel like I am enrolled in an institution of higher learning!"
Suzan Flipping
"Confident, Not Doubting Myself."
"I'm confident for the first time in a long time. I'm not hoping, I'm not wishing, I'm not wondering, I'm not doubting myself.
I am confident that I can get there and it is all through doodling, journaling and heart work journaling. Thank You."
Elizabeth Allbright
"Such a MINDSHIFT."
"You used my weight loss Equation in an example. Since then I am loving and appreciating my body. I am making choices that are best for my body.
What is so crazy is that it hasn't been hard and I feel great in my skin now! I got on the scale Saturday and was amazed to realize that I've lost nearly 10 pounds in the last 2 months. I'm on my way."

Official Poem of Heartwork Journaling University
You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust.
You were born with ideals and dreams.
You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.
