Journaling guide and storyteller Antoinette McDonald joins the Day One Podcast for a conversation about slowing down, paying attention, and using journaling to orient through the year ahead.
Antoinette shares insights from more than a decade of teaching journaling workshops and retreats, including the metaphors and practices that help people feel more grounded, connected, and honest with themselves, especially in seasons that feel full or uncertain. The conversation includes her "Be the Elephant" approach, inspired by the wells elephants dig, and how those ideas can translate into everyday life through writing.
This episode explores journaling as a rhythm, the importance of remembrance, and a reflective end-of-year exercise that invites listeners to write from the perspective of their future self, offering a steady place to return to as the year unfolds.
