Our newest journaling obsession 📓


Hi there, journalers

We were perusing Instagram a couple of days ago, as one does when running an online business, and we came across the coolest idea on a reel. Yes, so cool that we decided to dedicate a whole newsletter to it!

Kyle, an American traveler driving all the way across the States, shares his favorite tip in a short video. He has a journal he takes on all his trips, and one question:

What piece of advice do you wish you knew earlier?

He then invites people he meets along his trips to answer this question. From Michelin-starred chefs to European backpackers, students and retirees, everyone has answered this question in their own style. From goofy messages to transformative stories, he has a really unique collection of entries in his journal. Plus, it’s a great icebreaker.

If you’re not traveling soon, don’t let that stop you! You can start this with the people around you: your family and friends, the barista at your favorite coffee shop, a stranger you meet in the park - it’s that simple!

Remember: everyone has something valuable to share with you. Embrace curiosity!

Happy journaling (and advising!),
The JoClub Team

P.S. please please pleeeeeease let us know if you put this into practice and share some of the advice with us. We can’t wait to see what everyone has to say 🤩

Hello hello lovely people! This month we’re sharing the story of one of our most creative members who light up the room every time she joins a session. Kim has been with us for a while and we’re so happy to hear (and share) the story of how she joined JoClub!! The JoClub Team Last summer I went to Staples and bought this cheap soft-cover grid notebook. I was in the midst of the worst bout of burnout I had in a while and I had a mighty need to rant about it on paper. This cycle happens almost...

Hi there, journaler Now that we’re closer to the last quarter of the year (what!?) it’s important to take a step back and plan out the next three months. As you probably could have guessed, journaling is our favorite tool to reflect, assess, and plan. However, to make the most out of it, it’s important to understand what you want from journaling. What do you expect to get from this practice? What is your intention? We asked you about intention-setting on Wednesday and you shared a lot of cool...
