#122 Why I Decided to Shred My Journals (And What I Learned From It): Krista Dicks, RMT

Journaling has been a huge part of my life, but recently, I did something I never thought I would—I shredded my journals. In this episode, I share why I made this decision, how it’s helped me let go of the past, and what I learned from rereading years of personal entries. If you’ve ever wondered whether holding onto your journals is helping you or keeping you stuck, this episode is for you.

In This Episode:

✅ The morning pages method from Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way

✅ Why keeping journals can sometimes hold you back

✅ How I realized my biggest values (like freedom!) through my old entries

✅ Facing fears and imposter syndrome—over and over again

✅ What journaling taught me about goal-setting and taking action.

🎧 I hope you enjoy this episode!
