Thursday, Oct 8, 2026
Virtual Meetup
12 PM ET / 9 AM PT
This is for you if…
→ You've got a lot on your mind but don’t want or are not yet ready to tell anyone about it.
→ You're carrying more than you can handle and want to get it off your chest.
→ You've never written a day in your life but you’ve always wanted to try it.
→ You've heard journaling is supposed to help and want to actually know how to do it.
→ You want an hour to yourself, and you're willing to try something new to get it.
→ You've tried journaling before, gave up, and figured you were doing it wrong.
Why I’m Doing This
Two months ago, a close friend called. We caught up on life—kids, work, dogs—but toward the end of our conversation, her voice dropped, hesitant, like she wasn’t sure she should ask.
"I remember you told me you journaled a lot when you were going through shit at home," she said. "I think I'm going through that now. I tried writing on my own, but it just feels jumbled like a mishmash. How do you do it?"
I gave her a few simple steps to try, and I’ve been checking in on her ever since. As I watched those small steps help her, I realized she may not be the only one carrying something heavy or looking for an outlet.
That’s this session.
About Me
Hi, I’m Helen!
I've been writing in journals since the 3rd grade. That’s thirty-plus years of getting whatever is stuck in my head out onto paper. It’s not about talent; it’s just practice.
Over the years, writing has remained my go-to outlet to decompress, organize my thoughts, and let it all out instead of burying it inside.

FAQs & Common Hesitations
“What if someone reads what I write?”
A: Tear it up when you're done. Shred it, burn it, or delete the document. Nobody is ever seeing this but you. This is for you, not an audience.
“What if I'm not good at writing?”
A: There is no such thing as being 'bad' at getting your own thoughts on paper. This isn't English class. Nobody is grading your grammar, spelling, or creativity.
“What if my mind goes blank?”
A: That's why this session is guided. I’ll hand you specific prompts to jumpstart your writing so you won't be left staring at a blank page.
“I don't own a journal.”
A: A loose sheet of paper, the Notes app on your phone, or a blank Google/Word Doc works just as well. Use whatever medium feels easiest for you.
“I don't have time.”
A: You have time. You just don’t dedicate enough to yourself. Give yourself just 5 minutes within the hour of this writing session. You’ll be amazed at what can clear out of your head in just 5 minutes. You’ll prove to yourself you can incorporate this practice into your life.
