In this episode, I’m taking you back — back to the days when I was a young mom, navigating chaos with a pen in my hand and a journal by my side. Long before I ever heard the word Pomalo, I was unknowingly writing my way into a slower, more intentional life.
Through late-night scribbles, grocery lists with margins full of thoughts, and quiet moments of reflection, journaling became my lifeline — the place where I processed overwhelm, reconnected with myself, and found peace in the everyday.
When I finally travelled to Croatia, the word Pomalo gave a name to what I had been yearning for: a way to live with intention, not urgency.
In this episode, I share:
How journaling helped me survive and thrive in a hustle-driven world
Why you don’t need a passport to live Pomalo — just a pen and a few honest minutes
And how small shifts in your writing practice can help you go from overwhelmed to organized
This is a story about more than paper and ink — it’s about reclaiming your pace, your presence, and your peace.
