Episode 23: Small Pages, Big Shifts: Finding Yourself Through Journaling with Ali McDowall
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this inspiring and down-to-earth episode, Ro chats with Ali McDowall - designer, life coach, creative mentor, and co-founder of The Positive Planner, about the power of journaling, honesty, and creative reflection.
Ali shares how her own experience of postnatal overwhelm led her to create The Positive Planner, now published with Penguin, and how journaling became a lifeline when therapy felt out of reach. Together, they explore what it means to be real in a world that demands perfection - from letting go of people-pleasing to finding gratitude that actually feels authentic.
This is a conversation about reconnecting with yourself, making space for honesty, and trusting the process, whether you’re navigating motherhood, business, or simply trying to find balance in the chaos.
✨ Real stories, gentle wisdom, and plenty of permission to do wellbeing your way.
