In this episode of Journal to Growth, Sabrina shares a conversation originally recorded in March 2025 and published to the Future Focused podcast in May 2025. During this powerful chat, Sabrina and the hosts offer a no-fluff explanation as to why traditional goals fail, the benefits of aligning goals to values, not KPIs, and being accountable to yourself. 🎯 In this chat, you’ll hear about: - How to align goals with your values, not just your KPIs - My two-notebook system for tracking progress without burnout - The role of rest, reflection, and real-life accountability. Whether you’re deep into your career or building something new, anyone who wants to design systems that support sustainable success should give this a listen.

In this journal entry, Sabrina sends a message to her cousin as she (Rhonda) prepares to speak publicly about lessons to be learned from 2nd Corinthians chapters 1 - 5.

Inadvertently, I recorded a reply to 1st Corinthians while sitting on my patio, so you can hear birds chirping in the background. The sound of birds brings me so much joy that I uploaded the clip raw. Despite being a different passage, we wanted to share it anyway.

We want you to consider Orchids Octopi's Journal to Growth framework as a system and library of resources to support you in online spaces and to make having a website as rewarding as possible.

"Journal to Growth" is the name of Sabrina Whittaker's planning and quality review system for iterative development and a related suite of products/services/resources from Orchids Octopi. In its most basic form, the framework is a collection of brain dumps undergoing the process of refinement. When applied to web design, business analytics, or society & culture, it's a means for writing thoughtful and impactful commentary.

The framework is centered around the idea of maintaining two distinct yet interrelated “notebooks” or workspaces, which is why we've nicknamed it the "Two-Notebook" system. Those two spaces are:

- The “Everything” Space: this is where your creative mind is free to roam

- The “Focused” Space: this is your organized, actionable area where creativity meets strategy
