#239: Do you struggle with expressing yourself? Or feel like you need a safe space to go to when things get hard? Journaling is a powerful tool that allows you to live life more intentionally, helping you discover your truest interests and passions. But figuring out where to begin on the page can be tough.
So today I’m sitting down with entrepreneur and founder of wellness brand Inside Then Out, Nya Jones for practical tips on how to approach starting a journaling practice through prompts, guided questions, and self-care routines that help you identify what you’re feeling.
Together, we talk about Nya’s career journey from tech to wellness, her experience as a founder, and what practices help bring her back to herself.
We also talk about…
- Nya’s transition from tech to wellness brand founder
