Ep 17. Journaling pt. 2 (ft. Meg!)

or: wow me and my sister really ARE alike in some ways

This week I had my sister on to talk all about journaling! What it’s allowed us to know about ourselves, how we journal (and where and when and with what materials), why our posture matters, headspaces to get into, scribble journaling, putting our phones on do not disturb, and how we can comprehend the idea that time isn’t linear.

We laughed, we cried, we wrote a lot, and managed to find compassion and give ourselves the best opportunities to grow!

(We used to have to look for content & things to consume and now things want to consume us. Oh no!)
