Journaling for Core Value Clarity 18:28

7 weeks ago18:28

18:28

In this episode, we’re diving deep into a powerful but often overlooked question: What truly matters to you? We live in a world filled with distractions, expectations, and noise, and without clarity, it’s easy to drift. However, journaling offers a way to return to center. In this session, we’ll explore how you can use reflective writing or audio journaling to identify and reconnect with your core values — the principles that guide your decisions, your goals, and your sense of purpose. We’ll draw from timeless wisdom and practical frameworks provided by thought leaders such as John Demartini , Stephen Covey , Tony Robbins , and Viktor Frankl — each offering unique perspectives on how values shape our lives. You’ll be guided through prompts designed to help you not just name your values, but feel them. Discover where your energy naturally flows, what drives you, and what might need realignment. Whether you're navigating a life transition, seeking more meaningful work, or simply feeling off course, this episode is your space to pause, reflect, and rediscover what truly matters.

Fear shows up for all of us in big moments and small. But what if, instead of avoiding it, we could learn from it? In this episode, we explore how journaling can help us understand our fears, process them with clarity, and move forward with confidence. Drawing inspiration from authors like Tim Ferriss, Susan Jeffers, Brené Brown, and Elizabeth Gilbert, we’ll unpack how fear is not our enemy, but often a signpost for growth. You’ll be guided through thoughtful journaling prompts designed to name your fear, examine its roots, and build emotional strength in the face of uncertainty. This is your space to be honest, to reflect, and to discover the quiet bravery already within you.

S3E3: Gratitude Rewired – Journaling to Heal, Ground, and Grow 16:56

7 weeks ago16:56

In this episode, we explore gratitude journaling as a powerful mental health practice — not just a list of things you’re thankful for, but a way to rewire your brain, ground yourself emotionally, and reconnect with what truly matters. Drawing from the work of leading researchers like Dr. Robert Emmons, Brené Brown, and Rick Hanson, you’ll learn how practicing gratitude can shift your perspective, increase resilience, and help you heal, especially when life feels overwhelming. Through guided audio prompts, we’ll go beyond surface-level gratitude and uncover the quiet, meaningful moments that often go unnoticed. This is gratitude for real life — messy, beautiful, and deeply human.
