In this episode, we explore how journalling can be a powerful tool in helping you uncover your life’s purpose.

Join me for a cup of raspberry and blackberry leaf tea to talk about one of my favourite books on writing. In "Writing Down the Bones," Natalie encourages us to trust our minds. She invites us to write without stopping, to let the words flow without judgment. It’s about finding that raw, unfiltered voice within and letting it spill onto the page. Every detail, every observation becomes a thread in the tapestry of our writing. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/JrhSH4X8D5w?si=1A4H_j3eXtsp6eHl

This Episode was interesting to me. Not only because of the topic of intuitive eating but also because of the way I recorded it. I tried to start talking without knowing what the topic would be and see what happens. Maybe this is intuitive podcasting? :)

I'm practising letting go of perfectionism and just creating and publishing things. I started recording myself when I go on my morning walks. Of course the quality isn't great but it's a good way to practise talking freely into a microphone. And then 2 days ago my 8 year old son gave me a wonderful idea for a new project. Here's a (very imperfect) recording I made yesterday on my walk discussing the new idea. And the link to the new idea is here: "Schlaf gut - Phantasiereisen fuer Kinder" https://open.spotify.com/show/72hAWd9OCMB0umK57d6yTO?si=a5de1eb709754091
