Sometimes the simplest tools can be the most powerful, and for me, journaling has always been one of them. In this conversation, I sit down with Pamela Byrd, who has been putting pen to paper since she was eleven years old, to talk about how writing can help us heal, grow, and truly know ourselves.
Pamela shares her remarkable story, from navigating deep childhood trauma and the heartbreaking loss of her twin sister, to finding strength, clarity, and purpose through the pages of her journals. We explore the many styles of journaling, how they’ve shaped her boundaries and her work with women, and why connecting with your inner child might just change everything. This is a tender, honest, and deeply practical conversation about reclaiming your worth and writing your way toward a healthier mind.
Here are some actions you can take, whether you have 5 minutes or 50:
- If you have 5 minutes, I have an article from Calm called “How to journal for mental health: 7 tips to get started.”
- If you have 50 minutes, I have a podcast episode from Pamela called “The Ultimate Guide to Journaling for Clarity and Focus”
