Journaling has been referenced in many previous episodes, so Meg and Jill decided to slow down and unpack it.

This conversation moves from childhood diaries with tiny locks and keys to the deeper truth of what journaling can uncover.

Meg shares how she journaled in prayer form as a teenager and how looking back at those notebooks now feels like opening a time capsule. She reflects on manifestation, gratitude, and the Power Nine practice she uses with clients.

Jillian shares that she did not feel safe with her own thoughts growing up. She did not believe she was allowed to have individual opinions. Journaling became part of her growth journey and a way to discover who she actually is.

Together they explore:

1. Why perfectionism keeps people from starting
2. Morning Pages from The Artist’s Way
3. Clearing mental fog by “clearing the sludge”
4. The difference between writing and typing
5. Journaling as a somatic practice that connects mind, body, and spirit
6. Using prompts and shadow work to uncover subconscious beliefs
7. Attaching journaling to a deeper why

They emphasize that journaling is not about performance or productivity.

It is about expression.

It is about release.

It is about clarity.

For anyone who feels intimidated, they offer a simple starting point: try it messy. Try it imperfect. Try it for three days and notice what shifts.

1. Journaling is about release, not performance.
2. You do not have to keep what you write.
3. Writing physically engages the mind, body, and spirit.
4. Clear the sludge first, then clarity follows.
5. Perfectionism is the biggest barrier.
6. Your journaling practice can evolve over time.
7. Attach your practice to a meaningful why.
