Chapter Three: Why I Journal (Even When Life Feels OK)
In this episode of A Life in Chapters, I’m talking about journaling — not the aesthetic kind or the hyper-productive kind, but the kind that creates space. Space to think, to feel, and to figure things out without pressure.
I share how journaling supported me through grief after losing both of my parents just six months apart… and how it continues to help me when I’m stressed, uncertain, or even just in need of a little clarity.
Reflective journaling doesn’t have to take 30 minutes or be beautifully written. Sometimes two minutes of honesty on the page is more than enough.
📌 In this episode:
- What journaling means to me (and what it doesn’t)
- How it helped me navigate grief and confusion
- Why it’s still a daily anchor — even in better times
