Who Have You Been This Summer?

It's the first Monday of August, and Jessica invites listeners to pause and take stock — not of who they want to be, but of who they've actually been this summer. In this week's Healing Moment, she offers a gentle, guided journal prompt designed to help you see yourself clearly, honestly, and without judgment.What You'll Reflect OnThis episode is a journaling exercise built around one core question: "Who have I been this summer?" Jessica walks through a series of follow-up prompts to help you go deeper:What has she needed most — rest, connection, space, to be seen, to be left alone?What has she been carrying that she didn't ask for?Where has she shown up beautifully, even if no one noticed?Where has she been hard on herself when she deserved more grace?What has brought her joy this season, even in small amounts?What has felt heavy, stuck, or unresolved?What does she need from you in the next four weeks before fall arrives?Jessica reminds listeners that this reflection isn't about critique — it's about witnessing yourself the way a good therapist or a loving friend would: with curiosity, not judgment.A Note From JessicaJessica also teases something bigger she's been working on behind the scenes, with more details coming soon.Connect With Jessica📩 Sign up for the newsletter: healingismyhobby.com 📸 Instagram: @healingismyhobby ▶️ YouTube: Healing Is My Hobby 🩺 Clinical practice: jessicacolarcolcsw.com 📸 Practice Instagram: @jessicacolarcojournal prompt, self-reflection, summer reflection, who have I been, self-witnessing, self-compassion, self-inquiry, journaling for mental health, nervous system regulation, self-compassion practice, curiosity not judgment, seeing yourself clearly, self-grace, summer self-care, end of summer reflection, therapeutic journaling, guided journal prompt, healing moments, healing is my hobby, Jessica Colarco LCSW, mental health podcast, therapy podcast, self-care practice, mindfulness journaling, radical self-acceptance
