I'm Elisabeth
The self-appointed Mayor of Journaltown.
I'm on a mission to teach the craft of journaling, so you can:
- Cut through the noise and reconnect with what matters
- Transform vague feelings into clear insights
- Build a 10-minute routine that keeps you calm and centered
- Pull back from the chaos and find a broader perspective
What journaling students are saying:
"I really enjoyed the course. I came in with the expectation of just practicing my writing every day, but the prompts challenged me in ways I did not expect."
"The prompts gave me a back door into my own psyche, allowing my self-awareness and wisdom to bubble up naturally."
"I want more!"

This workshop takes a practical approach to preventing burnout by figuring out precisely what deserves your no at work and how to enforce it, while still prioritizing career growth and collaborative relationships.
