Tap to send me your reflections ♡ This episode began with me reaching for a journal from the shelf - and by chance, I picked up the very first one I ever wrote in when Flow Journaling was becoming a daily practice for me. I opened it at random… and landed on Day 21. What I found was a tender glimpse into who I was back then - and some insight into the foundations of how I live and work now. In this episode, I share that early entry, and reflect on what it means to revisit our past selves with gentleness. I talk about meditation, the deep longing for safety (for ourselves and others), and the quiet power of seeing how far we’ve come. This is an episode about the value of reflection - not to get things right, but to be with whatever’s true in the moment. Key reflections in this episode:How journaling and meditation support each other as practices of presence and self-compassionWhy inner work isn’t linear - and how spirals of change are part of the journeyThe deep desire so many of us share for safety - and the ache that can come with witnessing sufferingThe quiet strength of giving ourselves space between stimulus and responseHow powerful it can be to revisit our past selves with love, curiosity and care Viktor Frankl: "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom." Support the show *** Let’s stay connected. Sign up to hear more - and only receive what speaks to you.
