The Business of Thinking Big
The Power of Journalling with Dr. Stacy Thomas
It’s one thing to understand the power of journalling when it comes to personal and professional development. But knowing how to actually start (and stick with) a regular journalling habit? For many people, that can be the tricky part. In this thoughtful episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Stacy Thomas, an award-winning clinical psychologist and founder of The Design Your Life Centre in Toronto, to discuss the finer points of productive and transformative journalling and mindset work.
During this conversation, we explore the (sometimes mind-boggling!) benefits of journalling, the scope and impact of entrepreneurial anxiety, and the meaningful moments that helped Stacy discover her calling as a psychologist.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- When and where to journal for your best results — and what to journal about in order to spark growth and insights
- How your journalling practice can ebb, flow, and evolve over time
- 3 phrases to help you create a nourishing atmosphere of radical self compassion — and 3 proven resiliency practices!
Guest bio: Dr. Stacy Thomas is a Clinical Psychologist and the founder, CEO, and Clinical Director of The Design Your Life Centre. Her mission to democratize mental health motivated her to create The Growing Forward Journal and The Growing Forward Soul School, an online community focused on helping people grow consciously through whatever life brings.
