Hello and welcome to our latest podcast!

Nikki and I keep finding ourselves chatting about daily journaling, and so we thought we would have a proper chat about it! In this episode we discuss the various types of journaling we have tried, and why we never keep up with them consistently. We try to think of ways we can keep trying to incorporating it into our daily routine.

Do you keep a daily journal?

If so, how do you approach it - is it just written, or just illustrated, or a combination? We would love to hear how you journal, and if this is something you would like us to explore and share more of in future newsletters and podcasts!
