  Ep #60: The Role of the Journal Coach 17.02.2026 52min

  Welcome back.Today we’re starting at the very beginning, because before we can teach journal coaching, before we can use it responsibly with clients, we have to be clear about what it actually is… and what it is not.Journal coaching didn’t come into existence because journaling was broken. It emerged because journaling was being asked to carry more weight than it was designed to hold—without the structure, guidance, or relational support needed to make it truly effective.So in this episode, we’re laying the foundation.We’re going to clarify the difference between journaling and journal coaching, talk about where this practice fits alongside therapy and coaching, and explore the real role of a journal coach—not as an expert with answers, but as a guide, witness, and steward of the client’s learning process.Because when we define this work clearly, it stops being a vague wellness habit…and becomes a grounded, ethical, and deeply human practice for awareness, learning, and intentional living.Let’s begin.Questions or Thoughts?Instagram: @thejournalcoachingco

  Hi friend. If you want to start feeling more in control of your life instead of just reacting to everything, this episode is for you. Here’s the deal—your thoughts, emotions, and choices are all connected. But most of us don’t even realize how much one affects the other.

But what if I told you that most of what you feel and do actually starts with how you think? Yep. There’s a whole cycle happening under the surface: 🧠 Thoughts → 😟 Emotions → 🎭 Choices Sound intriguing? Tune in and let's continue the conversation.

  Ep #50: The Quiet Crisis: Why We're Disconnected From Our Lives 13.01.2025 23min

  I don't know if you've noticed, but there’s this phenomenon happening to so many of us, and it’s hard to even put into words. It’s not loud or obvious. It doesn’t feel like a meltdown or some huge dramatic event. It’s quieter than that. It’s this feeling that you’re not fully IN your life, like you’re on autopilot. You’re getting stuff done, going through the motions, but there’s this distance-between you and your own experiences, between you and the people around you, and maybe even between you and your own heart...

  Ep #48: How I Journal to Transform my Inner Critic 11.12.2024 23min

  Most of us have an inner critic—a voice that seems to show up at the worst times, pointing out mistakes and magnifying flaws. It can leave us feeling defeated, frustrated, and stuck.

  Ep #46: Why Writing is the Key to Shifting Your Thoughts and Stories 27.11.2024 31min

  Our thoughts are stories. And stories are flexible. They’re meant to be rewritten. But you can’t rewrite a story you’re not even aware of. That’s why writing is so powerful. It takes what’s invisible—what’s buried deep inside—and makes it visible. In this conversation we're talking about the power of the written word. We'll discuss why writing by hand fosters a deeper reflection practice and how we can begin to use writing as a tool to shift the thoughts and stories that no longer serve us.

  Ep #44: Grief & Writing P7-Choosing Gratitude 12.11.2024 25min

  How can we find gratitude when our hearts feel broken? When we’re grieving, it’s easy to feel as if the world has stopped. Things that once felt important fade into the background, and it may be difficult to see anything but the loss. Gratitude, shifts our perspective. It helps us remember that while something precious is gone, not EVERYTHING is gone. There are still things and people in our lives that bring comfort and connection, no matter how small. In this conversation, let’s explore how gratitude can be woven into your grieving process, not as a way to dismiss your pain, but as a way to hold it with a little more grace. At the end, I'll offer a ThoughtWork Practice and writing exercise that will support you in the journey. I hope this resonates with you in some way. Take what you need, and take good care.
