The Journaling Room

Episode 83: Revisiting the Art of Brain Dumps

Here’s your invitation for this week: Sometime in the next 24 hours, give yourself a brain dump session. Set a timer. Let it out. Look at what’s there. And notice how you feel afterward. You might even make this a weekly habit—your Monday morning reset or your Friday evening wind-down. However it works for you, know this: You’re allowed to put things down. You’re allowed to take care of your mind. And journaling—even in messy, scribbled brain dumps—is a powerful way to do that. For Summer Coaching Details: Grab a coffee chat spot with Kendall!

Episode 82: An Honest Conversation about Becoming a Mom with Claire Shields

Today’s episode feels especially tender and meaningful because I’m sitting down with my daughter Claire Shields to talk about becoming a new mom. And honestly… I don’t think we talk enough about the inner transformation that happens in motherhood. Not just the diapers and sleep deprivation — but the becoming. The stretching. The refining. The joy and hard that can coexist at the same time. I think so many women listening will see themselves in parts of this conversation whether you’re currently raising babies, have grown children, are longing to become a mother, or are simply in a season where God is reshaping you through caregiving and responsibility.

Episode 81: Journaling without a Journal

Today’s episode is going to feel a little different—because I want to take you inside a real day. Not a polished one. Not a “quiet time with coffee and my journal” kind of day… …but the kind that starts unraveling before the sun is even fully up. And I want to show you what it looks like to journal…without a journal.In the middle of your day, just pause and ask: * What am I feeling right now? * What am I thinking right now? * Can I let this be here…without rushing it away?

Episode 80: The Power of Evaluation

It’s the end of the month, so let’s talk today about something that will absolutely change the way you grow, the way you lead yourself, and the way you create results in your life. And it’s this: Evaluation. Now I want to start here—because this matters. Most of us hear the word evaluation… and what we actually feel is… pressure, disappointment, or maybe even shame We think evaluation means: “Let me go back and see everything I did wrong.” But that is not what we’re doing here. In this room… in this work… We are not judges. We are scientists. 30-Day Evaluation Framework (use page in planner) 1. What worked well for you over the past month? What wins or breakthroughs are you celebrating? What results—expected or unexpected—did you experience? 2. What didn’t work as well as you hoped? Where did you feel resistance… or find yourself holding back? 3. What will you do differently next time? 4. What are you most proud of?

Episode 79: What Truly Matters (The Confidence You've Been Looking For)

Part 8 of Confidence Series: As we close this series, I want to leave you with this: Confidence isn’t found in having all the answers. It’s built by returning—again and again— to what truly matters. And then having the courage to live from that place. Journaling Prompts to Close the Series 1. When I picture my 85-year-old self, what does she say truly matters in my life right now? 2. What am I currently worrying about that she would tell me to release? 3. Which “room” of my life feels most out of alignment—and what would matter most there? 4. What would it look like to make one decision today based on what truly matters? 5. How would my life feel different if I trusted that living in alignment is what builds confidence?
