LaToya Edwards | Life Coaching and Emotional Resilience Coaching for Women

There’s a lot of pressure to believe that journaling only works if you do it every day. For highly sensitive and introverted women, that belief can turn journaling into another thing on the to-do list. 

In this episode, I’m unpacking why daily journaling isn’t necessary for emotional regulation or emotional resilience — and how that expectation can actually increase overwhelm.

We’ll talk about why consistency is often misunderstood, how journaling works best in seasons, and what matters more than frequency when it comes to processing emotions.

If you want journaling to feel supportive instead of stressful, this episode will help you release pressure and reconnect with journaling in a way that fits your real life.
