In this “Chat & Journal With Me,” I’m in my Sterling Ink daily journal doing what I always do best: letting planning be my safe place while life is… well, lifing. I debated waiting to film until everything was settled with what our family has been navigating, but I decided to show up anyway—because this is real life, and memory keeping doesn’t only happen on the easy days. So we’re chatting, we’re processing, and I’m putting pen to paper in a way that feels honest and grounding. I walk you through how I’m using my daily journal to hold the hard stuff and the everyday stuff at the same time—thoughts, feelings, little details, and the kind of reflection that makes future me feel seen. If you’re in a season where you don’t have all the answers yet, this video is basically your permission slip to keep journaling anyway. Come hang out, journal with me, and thank you (truly) for respecting my openness and vulnerability while I share what I can.
