In this podcast episode, Sonja interviews Whitney King, creator of “Wave Of Mind”, a six month set of clinically informed monthly guided Journals aimed to improve your mental health. Created with a team of therapists, incorporating tools like cognitive behavioral therapy these journals help to foster self-discovery, trust, and acceptance.

Whitney also offers advice on starting a self-discovery journey by practicing to sit non-judgmentally with one's feelings, highlighting the journals' role in reinforcing this practice.

Listeners are directed to where they can purchase the journals and learn more about Whitney's work.
