About Me
My Mama Journey
Hi, I’m Malena Förnes.
Founder of Journey of Emotion, mama of three, a passionate TEAM-CBT therapist and coach.
I started my career in IT, working in a world of logic and systems. But nothing could have prepared me for the emotional chaos that followed the birth of my first child. I was high on love in the beginning, but slowly found myself spiralling into exhaustion, frustration, numbness and carried a deep feeling of guilt.
I loved my son deeply, but I couldn’t find myself in the experience of motherhood. And that broke me in ways I couldn’t explain.
Everything began to shift the day I stumbled upon Dr. Gordon Neufeld’s work on attachment. For the first time, I understood my child—and myself—through the lens of emotional development and connection.
It was the beginning of a long, slow, but life-changing journey that I did mostly on my own. Over the years, I immersed myself in emotional theory, attachment, developmental psychology and the work by Dr David Burns (TEAM-CBT Therapy).The more I practiced, and especially found my emotional expression, the more I felt myself coming back to life. Not only did I rebuild my bond with my child—I rebuilt the bond with myself.
.
And now, this is my work.
To offer what I needed most back then:
Not just knowledge, but support.
Not just theory, but safe spaces.
Not just healing for our children—but healing for the mother within
.
At Journey of Emotion - I bring together my favourite tools, insights, and science-backed practices to help mamas move through emotional overwhelm, reconnect with your truth, start enjoying motherhood, and start feeling like themselves again.
I believe emotional fitness is the new self-care. And I believe we can truly enjoy motherhood - not just survive. Welcome to the journey.
I’m still on it too. Let’s walk it together.

What Others Say
Don’t just take our word for it here’s what women who have done the Emotional Fitness Journey have to say.
"Being heard and held by other mothers with similar experiences has been a transformative experience. Taking this journey, together, has felt both safe and more rewarding than I could have imagined!"
Mother of one - self employed
I notice how more and more often I unconsciously analyze and reflect on why I reacted the way I did. Finding the other side is difficult but so rewarding and gives me both understanding and a new type of acceptance that is liberating. For me, it was also great to give my feelings on the spot and what they want to tell me, that all feelings are there for a reason. It's fantastic to have the group with the other mothers. The Mama tribe. Even though it's my journey, in a way I'm not going through it alone.
