#28 - The Power of the Page: How Journaling Helps Students, Teachers and Parents with Dr Lucy Kelly
Have you ever felt there’s simply no time to stop and reflect, especially when you’re balancing the demands of teaching, parenting or supporting your child through the ups and downs of school?
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Lucy Kelly, Associate Professor at the University of Bristol and Principal Investigator of the Reimagining the Diary project. We explore how reflective writing, even just a few lines a day, can become a powerful and realistic tool for emotional wellbeing, especially for busy professionals, parents and students.
Together, we unpack how journaling can create breathing space in emotionally overloaded days, support self-awareness and even help children stay motivated and connected to their learning.
🎙️ In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ How reflective writing can boost emotional wellbeing and resilience - for teachers, students and parents alike
✅ How journaling can create space to pause, process emotions and feel more grounded at the end of a demanding day
✅ What a time-efficient, sustainable journaling habit looks like, even on the busiest schedules
✅ Why you don’t need the “perfect” diary, and how to make journaling feel natural, not forced
✅ How to help your child use reflection to manage school stress, build motivation and thrive long-term
Whether you are a parent guiding your child through challenging school seasons, a teacher carrying emotional weight, or simply someone looking to feel more grounded in daily life, this episode offers both insight and practical takeaways.
