This episode dives deep into the transformative power of establishing a dedicated area for your journaling practice. Whether it's a cozy nook at home or a serene spot in nature, having a space that resonates with your soul can elevate your writing experience and connect you with your true self. In this episode, I share my personal journey of crafting a tea room adorned with ancestral dishes, which has become a source of strength and creativity for me. Inspired by Angie Taylor's concept of a career 'command center' from her book "Your Next Job Strategies for Re-Entering the Workforce," we explore how you can create a sacred meeting place for your thoughts and reflections. As you listen, I invite you to grab your favorite notebook and pen, and ponder how the universe might be speaking through you. I'll be playing calming music to help you settle in and open your mind to the possibilities your journaling space can offer. This is your moment to connect with your true self—one powerful question at a time. I'm eager to see the creative spaces you'll build. Share your photos or tag us on Instagram, and remember, you belong here.

Belonging and Coming Back Home
Our new series invites listeners to explore the profound feeling of belonging and the power of community. Reflecting on my journey from a small farm in Morning View, Kentucky, I share how a simple conversation with a family friend, Sheila Redman, at a local county fair reignited my sense of belonging and inspired the creation of this new podcast series. Sheila's warm words reminded me of the importance of recognizing and valuing each other's true selves. Motivated by this encounter, I embarked on writing a book for my daughters, capturing our life's lessons and family bonding exercises. In this series, I aim to provide a similar sense of belonging and encouragement, offering weekly journaling prompts to help listeners connect with their true selves. By asking the powerful question, "What would you regret not doing on your deathbed?" I encourage listeners to uncover and pursue their heart's callings, creating a community that supports and nurtures each other's journeys. Follow along with my new book, The Growth Plot.

The Legacy of a Wood Stove: Fueling Hope Through Winter's Bite

The winters of '77 and '78 weren't just seasons of snowflakes and ice; it brought a financial frost that tested her family's endurance.
