Hi, I’m Irene Ekdahl

As a best-selling author and adjunct professor at University of California San Diego, where I also teach journaling classes, I am committed to guiding individuals on a journey of self-care and mental wellness through the transformative power of journaling. Additionally, I lead journaling workshops for former foster youth like myself at MiraCosta College, enriching their educational experience with tools for self-discovery and empowerment.

My personal journey began as a former foster youth and Mexican immigrant, where I emerged from adversity with unwavering resolve. Drawing from my diverse background, including a Bachelor of Arts degree in Dance, I founded the Remove Your Shadow™ brand and its accompanying online course.

Through Remove Your Shadow™, I empower individuals to confront their shadows and unlock their full potential. Join me on a transformative journey toward self-discovery and empowerment through the written word.

She is also a UC San Diego Adjunct Professor and graduate.
Ms. Ekdahl's own early life journey led her to recognize Personal Journaling as the most effective self-directed means of personal discovery and a fulfilled life, and why she will soon launch a course of instruction labeled ”Journal, or Else."

"Or else" leave your full life's potential behind.
