In this episode, we talk with Tracy Winchell, the Founder of Roaman Journals. A teacher of daily journaling practices to others, Tracy is a self introspective person when it comes to facing ourselves in writing. And when introduced to Roam, she has started implementing the tool into journaling.
In this episode, we talked about:
- Life before Roam Research: her time as a journalist, within broadcasting and more
- Her workflow for journaling and introspection in Roam
- Our relationship with the creator/higher power
- The intricacies of daily journaling and how Tracy approaches it
- The three selves, and how we should confront them
There is a part one and part two to this episode, so you might hear a disconnect in the middle of the episode due to technical difficulties. Enjoy!
