Hey guys! and welcome back to This is Your Life podcast. This week's episode is how to begin journaling. Where do I start? What do I write? Heck, how do I even find the right journal?? This episode will answer all of those questions and more. Journaling in your adult life is such a key tool to better understanding yourself as in individual as well as tracking your progress and growth throughout the years. If you have ever wanted to start journaling but don't know what exactly you're "supposed" to be doing, this is a great place to start.

Take a moment and go follow/like my new Facebook page! I will be posting daily updates, previews to episodes, as well as more resources to help you grow as an individual.
