Ever sat down to journal, stared at a blank page, and thought, “Where do I even start?” You’re not alone. In this episode we’re tackling that exact feeling—the fear of starting and the pressure to make every word perfect. Spoiler alert: journaling isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing up!

We’ll chat about why that blank page feels so intimidating and how to break through it with three simple, practical steps. From setting the tone for your time with God to using prompts that spark your thoughts (no overthinking required!), I’ve got you covered. Plus, we’ll unpack Habakkuk 2:2, where God encourages us to “write the vision and make it plain”—a powerful reminder that your words matter to Him, no matter how messy they feel.

Oh, and I’ve got a fun journaling prompt for you: “If I could speak to my younger self, what advice or encouragement would I give?” Trust me, this one will have you reflecting, smiling, and maybe even tearing up a little.
