Our Story

Alicia Gabrielle Thanos is a nurse turned mindfulness journal creator who released her first journal, The Mindful Daily Journal in April 2024. She started off her career as a cancer nurse in 2018. Through her experience caring for her patients, she saw first-hand what it takes for the human spirit to survive through such hardship and turbulence. She found inspiration from seeing how strong her patients were. Through her interactions and relationships she built with her patients, and their families, she saw how essential having a growth-mindset, and strong support system were to her patients’ outcomes in their cancer battle. Those that encompassed a growth-mindset were more likely to effectively participate in activities to enhance their survival and see challenges not as a barrier but as a bump in the road. At the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Alicia Gabrielle Thanos began to explore the philosophy of Stoicism as a source of strength through the uncertain times. She looked to creatively express what she learned through graphic design, and later founded The Mindful Daily brand to bring mindfulness, joy, & intention into everyday life.
