What happens when you commit to journaling every single day for a month — in the middle of work, stress, and real life?
In this Friday Coffee Chat, we dive into Tina's 30-day journaling experiment to see if putting pen to paper could actually improve your mental health. We talk about what inspired her to start, the different journaling styles she tried (from free-writing to gratitude lists), and how to realistically fit journaling into your routines — even on the busiest days.
If you’re curious about journaling but don’t know where to start — or you’re craving a habit that feels grounding, not like just another thing on your to-do list — this episode is for you.
You'll walk away with:
✨How to make journaling feel like a mental reset, not a chore
✨The biggest mindset shift we experienced (without even realizing it at first)=
✨A super simple journaling approach anyone can stick to — even on your busiest days
If your work is taking over your life and you struggle to unplug in the evening or even the weekend, we'd love to help you create a work-life balance that works for you!
Love,
Tina & Eleni
