Think journaling is too time-consuming or just not your thing? This episode might change your mind.
We’re breaking down the science behind how journaling can reduce stress, improve emotional clarity, and even support your immune system.
You’ll hear how simple writing practices—done in just a few minutes a day—can help regulate your nervous system, build self-trust, and support behavior change, all without needing to be a “writer.”
Kristen Fogle shares approachable journaling prompts and easy frameworks you can start using right away, whether you're navigating a stressful season, working on habit change, or just want a clearer mind.
Kristen has been the Executive Director of San Diego Writers, Ink since 2013. She is also a theater director, producer, teaching artist, writing instructor, and former magazine editor. She has led playwriting, journaling, and other writing workshops for La Jolla Playhouse, Wounded Warrior Project, and many other organizations.
