The Spark Starter Kit from Following Sparks provides simple, non-intimidating exercises and printables to help women move from burnout and numbness toward renewed creativity, self-trust, and tiny sparks of joy.

-- For many women, the hardest part of healing isn’t knowing what to do — it’s knowing where to start.
After years of running on empty, even small decisions can feel overwhelming. Following Sparks, a creative wellness brand founded by writer and creator Mary Brey, understands this deeply. That’s why the brand created the Spark Starter Kit, a free digital bundle of simple, creative tools to help women begin reconnecting with themselves — gently, at their own pace.
The Spark Starter Kit is designed for women who feel stuck in what Mary calls a “soul drought” — the hollow stage that often follows burnout or survival mode. It’s a space where energy, creativity, and motivation seem to disappear, even after rest. Rather than pushing women to set big goals or overhaul their lives, the Spark Starter Kit focuses on the opposite: slowing down, listening inward, and rediscovering tiny sparks of curiosity and joy.
“When you’ve spent years surviving, it’s easy to forget how to just be,” says Mary. “The Spark Starter Kit gives you permission to start small — no pressure, no perfection, just space to feel alive again.”
Inside the kit are printable and digital exercises drawn from Mary’s collection of guided journals. These include creative reflection pages, spark-tracking sheets, and mini-practices that encourage awareness and micro-moments of self-connection. Each tool can be used in a few quiet minutes between responsibilities — in a notebook, on a tablet, or even mentally while taking a walk.
The kit is also designed to be playful. Its illustrations echo Following Sparks’ retro-inspired aesthetic, with soft 1970s hues and whimsical spark motifs. It’s a reminder that healing doesn’t have to feel clinical or heavy — it can feel curious, even magical.
Beyond the free tools, visitors who download the Spark Starter Kit gain access to the Following Sparks digital hub, a growing library of creative wellness resources. Inside, they can explore additional printables, guided journal previews, and small experiments in self-expression. The hub is structured as a “permission field” — a place where women stop apologizing for inconsistency and start seeing their curiosity as a strength.
This approach reflects the heart of Following Sparks: healing as rediscovery, not repair. Mary created the brand after two decades in an emotionally and financially abusive relationship, an experience that left her depleted and unsure of who she was. Through small creative practices, she began noticing glimmers of herself again — what she calls “sparks.”
“The Spark Starter Kit is what I wish I’d had at the beginning,” Mary shares. “Something simple, soft, and real. A place to begin without having to prove anything.”
The kit has since become one of Following Sparks’ most shared offerings, resonating with women across different stages of burnout and recovery. Many describe it as the first thing that felt doable after months of feeling numb — a low-pressure entry point that slowly opens the door to journaling, creativity, and authentic rest.
Following Sparks continues to expand its ecosystem with guided journals, spark-tracking tools, and community-driven projects — all rooted in the belief that even the smallest spark can become a light strong enough to follow.
