Welcome back dear Substack friends to this relaxed chat with my friend Jenna.
If you’ve not listened to Part One of this conversation then I encourage you to listen to it before you go any further.
Jenna talks candidly about how journalling has supported her through some really tough times. Perhaps you can empathise with what she’s been through and appreciate how journalling has provided a ballast during adversity.
It needs to be said that while journalling isn’t therapy, it can be therapeutic. Journalling isn’t a magic pill that can make all our problems disappear. Nonetheless, it’s worth giving it a go, even if you start with stream of consciousness writing.
If you’d like to know more about this form of writing, please find the links in the resources section below.
We hope this conversation inspires you to give journalling a go or to resume journalling if you’ve had a break from it. We’d love to hear how journalling is supporting you in your life. And as always, your feedback is most welcome.
So let’s get Part Two of the conversation started…
