[Replay] Journaling for Tending to Self: A Live Chat with Kelly Laughlin
My friend Kelly Odette Laughlin and I recently went live to talk about her essay on journaling and how we each use writing as a tool for tending to self—through witnessing our feelings, weeding out unhelpful stories, creating the kind of pressure seedlings need to sprout, and more.

Kelly also walked us through two journaling exercises: one for grounding down through noticing, the other for narrowing focus. If you enjoy prompts, you’ll definitely want to watch to the end and save Kelly’s questions for future journaling sessions!
