Ep 29 - Starting Journaling

In this episode, I talk about how journalling went from "Dear Diary" embarrassment to a genuine life-changing practice for me.

I share how I rediscovered journalling after moving to Australia, getting back into reading, and stepping into personal development, and why writing things down was the moment dreams started turning into actual goals.

You'll hear real examples of how journalling helped me:

• Catch my own limiting beliefs that were stopping me applying for senior roles.

• Realise when anger was actually masking hurt or fear.

• Spot patterns in my relationships and my leadership style that I'd never consciously noticed.

• Change how I managed upwards at work and completely shift outcomes without changing a single project or budget.

I also break down why journalling does not have to look a certain way. It can be one line a day, five minutes, lists, sketches, rambling thoughts, or messy honesty. The only rule is that it works for you.

We cover the practical benefits too, from stress reduction and clarity to goal-setting, creativity, emotional processing, and accountability, along with some quick stats for context, taken with a healthy pinch of salt.

If you've ever thought journalling sounded boring, awkward, or like another thing on your to-do list, this episode might change your mind. Start small, make it enjoyable, and let the insights surprise you.
