Soul Journaling Sessions Podcast Marcy Farrey

Your journal prompts this week:
Where in my life, past or present, did I make a compromise that prevented me from being my true self and/or prevented me from fully exploring my passions
Where and when in life do I feel I am okay with making a compromise or a sacrifice?
What boundaries can I set to prevent myself from compromising in areas where I am not truly willing to compromise
What could I start doing today that would allow me to either explore or share who I really am, without compromise?

In our first guest episode, part of a new series I am calling "Open Journal," soul seeker and writer Miranda Marsh is sharing an original work, guiding us through the process of soul walking. This concept wonderfully accompanies the concept of soul journaling, and I can’t wait for all of us to try it for ourselves.
In this essay, Miranda shares more about what soul walking is and then takes us on a soul walk with her. After she reads the essay, I will be back to lead you through our meditation and journal prompts, which are meant to be completed after you’ve gone on your own lovely soul walk.
To tell you a little bit more about Miranda: Miranda is a writer who explores issues around soul, inviting others to join her as she follows her own soul quest, diving deeper into the essence of who we are. She has her own Substack publication called “Seeking Soul”: https://open.substack.com/pub/mirandamarsh.
If you want to dive deeper into your soul and enhance your connection to it, I encourage you to check it out and join me in becoming a subscriber.
Thank you all for listening, and I hope that Miranda’s submission will inspire you to perhaps share your own writing and voice on the Soul Journaling Sessions podcast! I can’t wait to share more of your work and hear your beautiful voices.
