Journaling your feelings is a powerful way to release emotions and build emotional resilience, but let’s be honest, it doesn’t always feel good in the moment. In this episode, I’m sharing why that emotional discomfort is actually a sign of progress, not failure.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, heavy, or emotionally worked up after journaling, you’re not alone, and you’re not doing it wrong. I’ll walk you through how to sit with those tough feelings, what to do after a hard journaling session, and how to create emotional safety so you can keep showing up for yourself.
This is a reminder that journaling isn’t about instant relief, it’s about learning how to process your emotions instead of avoiding them. If you’re ready to journal your feelings with more self-compassion and clarity, this episode is for you.
