Journaling and meditation

Today we wrap this season up with Mikita Smith who is a fellow podcaster and the voice behind the "Thym 4 Tea with Mikita Podcast," where she invites us all to embrace the beautifully messy aspects of life.

As a nurse, motivational speaker, and certified meditation instructor, she's not just talking the talk; she's walking the walk, daring others to live a beautifully unbalanced life.

Her approach to self-care is refreshingly real, advocating for a life that finds beauty in the chaos and to dance in the rain. Mikita's down-to-earth conversations and insights challenge us to break free from the conventional, celebrate our imperfections, and discover our true selves in the beautiful imbalance.

We had a great conversation about:

 

Her journaling journey

 

How she encourages herself through her journaling

 

Her first solo writing retreat - the gift she gave to herself

 

Her meditation journey 

 

The impact that meditation has on her journaling, and how these both impact her life

 

How this also contributes to her fiction writing, and to episodes for her podcast

 

Tips for starting a journaling practice
