Let me tell you something: if someone had told me years ago that writing in a journal would change my life, I would’ve laughed and said, “Yeah, okay… next suggestion, please.” Because I didn’t like journaling. At all.
Growing up, I thought journaling was something only dramatic teenage girls did in movies, writing about their crushes and secrets in little pink diaries with a lock and key. And let me tell you, I had three brothers—locks meant nothing in that house. If I wrote anything remotely private, someone was going to find it, read it and tease me for weeks. So, I skipped journaling altogether. Too risky. Too exposed. Too vulnerable.
Fast forward years later—I’m a certified life coach, an author and the host of a podcast about manifesting. And guess what I do every single day? Yep, I journal. Religiously. Passionately. Obsessively, even. Because journaling has become the key to my clarity, confidence, and yes—my success.
The Gift I Wasn’t Ready For
The first journal I ever received wasn’t even something I bought myself. A friend gave it to me as a gift. On the cover, it said:
“May you be proud of the work you do, the person you are, and the difference you make.”
