We all face decisions — some small, some life-changing. And often the hardest part isn’t living with the choice, it’s making it in the first place.

In this episode of A Life in Chapters, I explore how journaling can help us find clarity when we’re at a crossroads. Writing slows the swirl of thoughts, reveals patterns, and makes space to hear what we already know deep down.

I’ll share:
✨ Why decisions can feel so heavy
✨ Simple journaling techniques to untangle confusion
✨ A personal story of how writing helped me choose a path
✨ Gentle prompts to guide your own decision-making

💡 Quick note: These prompts are for personal reflection only and are not a substitute for therapy or professional advice. If you’re facing something overwhelming, please reach out for the right support alongside your journaling.

What kind of legacy do we really leave behind?

In this episode, I share the story of my rabbit Bertie — a mischievous, loveable companion who left his mark on my world in the most unexpected way. His tiny teeth marks on a bookshelf became a reminder of how small moments can carry deep meaning, and how joy itself can be a kind of legacy.

Along the way, I reflect on our need to be remembered, why “small” isn’t really small at all, and how animals and books have always shaped my way of seeing life. I’ll also share some gentle journaling prompts to help you explore the traces you leave behind and the moments that matter most.

✨ Journaling Prompts Included:

• What small traces have loved ones, human or animal, left in your life?
• Where in your own life have you left little signs that you were here?
• If legacy wasn’t about being remembered, but about how you lived today, what would that mean?

If you’re building something small but meaningful, I see you. It matters.

Reading doesn’t have to be about numbers, challenges, or keeping up with everyone else. It can be about rhythm, ritual, and the way books help us mark time.

In this episode of A Life in Chapters, I share my own reading routines — from cosy weekend mornings with a cup of tea to winding down at night with a chapter before sleep. We’ll explore:

• Why a reading routine is more nourishing than a reading goal
• How seasonal shifts shape our book choices
• The pressure of reading challenges and how to release it
• The role of journaling and reflection in deepening our reading life
• A preview of our Patreon book club pick
