Ep.20 Journaling. The cheapest therapy around!

Tamra MerciecaPodcastLeave a Comment

Journaling is a beautiful, and ridiculously cheap way of processing challenges and traumas and simply making sense of life.

If you’ve ever tried to create change in your life, even just a small change such as learning something new… then chances are you’ve probably experienced at least a little self-sabotage.

Ep.5 Take a monthly self-care vacation. Menstruate.
