In this episode of Lady(ish), Autumn explores the science and soul behind journaling — and why this one simple tool can literally change your brain. Drawing from Dr. James Pennebaker’s research on expressive writing and Allison Fallon’s The Power of Writing It Down, she breaks down how writing helps regulate your emotions, strengthen your immune system, and reveal the unconscious stories that shape your life. 

You’ll learn: 

• The science behind why writing heals
• How journaling strengthens both your mind and your body
• A simple 5-step reflective writing practice for awareness and change
• Why awareness — not time — is what truly heals

Whether you’re new to journaling or returning to the page after a long break, this episode will inspire you to pick up your pen and start writing your way toward clarity, freedom, and peace.
