Summer Story Time-Embodying Joy: A Heart Journal, Author's Notes 1 & 2

Send us Fan MailEver found yourself wrestling with the pressures of life? I've been there, and it's through this tough journey that I've found solace in the transformative power of journaling. In this episode, I bare my heart about my personal journey from a stressful 2021 school year to a winter of self-discovery, 2022, guided by the wisdom of the inspiring life coaches Cathy Heller and Colleen Arneil in a program I took part in, Abundant Ever After. Along with counselors outside of the program, healers and friends, deep shadow work,  and  prayer time with God, they showed me how to unburden myself and rediscover the joy of being me. I invite you to journey with me as we explore the insightful depths of journaling together.Have you ever considered what it means to let go of the labels and identities given to us by others? It's a powerful release that can lead us right back to our true essence. We dive into this topic in the second half of the episode, providing a mindful moment of journaling to the soothing sounds of Masood Taj's "Unconditional Love" track.  Interact with today's chapters, Authors Notes 1 &2, Embodying Joy: A Heart Journal-A Memoir for Body, Mind, & Spirit Health (Amazon 2023). https://tinyurl.com/embodyingjoyaheartjournal (Updated, new format, third edition, available 8.3.23!) or venture on a standalone journey of self-expression by responding to today's journal prompt at timestamp 10:15: "What labels/versions others have created of me can I release in Joy today, returning to my Essence?"
