{8.6} Words of Motherhood: A Conversation on Journalling with Emma Cottam of Isabella and Us

Listen on:


Today on Raising Healthy Mothers I'm welcoming Emma Cottam of Isabella and Us back onto the show. We last spoke on the podcast in October 2020 - we were deep into the first 6 months of the pandemic and looking ahead to a second lockdown. It was GRIM times indeed!

I decided to invite her back because she's recently started offering help establishing journalling practice, and this is something I've been working on - and struggling with! - recently so it seemed really great timing.

In our chat we talked about...

  • What journalling is  and how it differs from keeping a diary or a planner

  • The benefits of journalling and why it's so helpful for mums in transitional timee

  • Overcoming mindset blocks around perfectionism and challenging emotions that arise through journalling

  • What to do with journals once we've finished with them and the tricky conundrum of journals as a legacy

I enjoyed this chat so much - I basically treated it as a means to get all my sticky questions answered about journalling! I know I'm going to be joining her July Summer of Me month of journal prompts to keep up my journalling practice through the summer.
