Today, we’re diving into something a little different but incredibly impactful: the benefits of journaling and writing. Research from Dr. James Pennebaker at the University of Texas in Austin shows that writing can reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, boost your immune response, and even sharpen your decision-making skills.
Yes, you heard that right—journaling is basically a superpower!
I’m joined by Deborah Ager, a book writing coach who helps leaders craft anti-boring, high-quality books, but don’t worry, we’re not here to convince you to write a novel (unless you want to!).
Deborah walks us through how journaling and writing can help us clarify our thoughts, process emotions, and even become better communicators—whether you’re looking to nail a big presentation or just get those swirling thoughts out of your head.
We’ll also explore the role of storytelling in persuasion, why knowing your audience is critical, and how to use writing to better understand yourself and your goals.
Plus, Deborah shares practical exercises and insights to make writing more joyful and less daunting.
Grab your notebook and join us as we uncover how writing—whether it’s for personal growth or professional success—can be a transformative tool.
You can learn more about Deborah and her work on her website.
