    Ep. 30 Journal with me : 12 week challenge | make your move

    Make Your Move 🔥 | October Week 3 How do we stop waiting for the perfect moment and start taking action towards the things that matter to us? Welcome back to Journal Club! This week, we're continuing our October theme of EMBER with Make Your Move, a journaling session focused on turning our intentions into action and building momentum towards our goals. We've spent the last couple of weeks exploring what we want to achieve and how we can support ourselves along the way. Now it's time to take that next step, even if we don't have everything figured out just yet. In this episode, we're reflecting on how we can use the strengths and resources we already have, embrace the process of learning as we go, and recognise that meaningful progress doesn't have to come from one big, life-changing action. Sometimes, it's the smallest step that gets everything moving. Moving from planning to taking action. Recognising the resources and strengths we already have. Letting go of the need to get everything right before we begin. Finding small, achievable ways to make progress towards our goals. This week's full journaling session includes five reflective prompts, guidance notes and a practical exercise to help you identify your next steps. Join us inside Patreon Journal Club for the complete prompts and to continue working through our 12-week goal challenge. We'll close October's EMBER theme by reflecting on our progress and exploring how to maintain our momentum as we move into November. Remember, you don't have to feel completely ready to begin. You just have to be willing to take that first step.

    Ep. 29 Journal with me : 12 week goals | feed the fire

    This week, we're continuing our October theme of EMBER as we explore what it takes to build momentum and keep moving towards the things that matter to us. Last week, we focused on finding our spark and reconnecting with the goals we want to work towards over the next 12 weeks. This week, we're looking at what happens after that initial excitement fades, and how we can create the right conditions to keep showing up for ourselves. Because setting a goal is one thing, but building the habits, mindset and support systems that help us follow through is another. In this week's episode, we'll reflect on the patterns that can hold us back, the expectations we place on ourselves and how we can make progress feel more achievable, even when motivation is running low. Why motivation alone isn't always enough to keep us moving forward. The patterns that can get in the way of following through on our intentions. How we can make our goals easier to work towards by creating the right conditions. The impact of our inner dialogue when progress feels slower than expected. How small, intentional changes can help us build sustainable momentum. This week's theme invites you to consider how you can better support yourself throughout our 12-week goal challenge. Rather than putting more pressure on yourself to do everything perfectly, we're exploring how to work with your own needs, routines and circumstances to make progress feel more manageable. The full set of five journal prompts, complete with guidance notes and this week's reflective exercise, is available inside Patreon Journal Club. Next week, we'll move from preparation into action as we explore how to turn our intentions into tangible steps. We'll look at what's been keeping us in planning mode and how we can begin making meaningful progress, even when we don't feel completely ready. For now, remember that you don't need to do everything at once. Sometimes, keeping the fire burning simply means making it a little easier to show up again tomorrow.

    ep.28 Journal with me : 12 week goal challenge |find your spark

    Welcome to October and the beginning of a brand new month of journaling. Our October theme is EMBER , a month about finding your spark, building momentum and taking intentional action as we move into the final three months of the year. This week, we're starting with Find Your Spark. Before we can take action, we need to reconnect with what we're moving towards and understand why it matters to us. We'll explore the goal we'd love to move forward over the next 12 weeks, what's been holding us back, and what could become possible if we finally chose to show up for it. This isn't about having the perfect plan or knowing exactly how everything will unfold. It's simply about finding somewhere to begin. We'll explore: What we'd love to have moved forward by the end of the 12 weeks The deeper reason behind the goal we're choosing What could become possible if we followed through What may have been holding us back What showing up for ourselves could actually look like The full set of prompts, guidance and this week's journaling exercise are available inside Patreon Journal Club. October is just the beginning of our 12-week goal challenge, which will carry us through October, November and December. We'll be moving from finding the spark → feeding the fire → taking action → keeping it burning, creating a gentle but intentional journey towards the end of the year. I'll be sharing more about the full 12-week challenge separately on You Tube and Patreon, so make sure you're following along. For now, grab your journal, give yourself a little space and ask yourself: Until next time, keep your ember glowing. 🧡 📌 Connect with us: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lifestyledplanner⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/lifestyledplanner⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LIFEstyledplanner⁠ Website: ⁠https://www.lifestyledplanner.com⁠ Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/LIFEstyledplanner⁠ Pinterest : ⁠https://pin.it/32Hw2VD4F⁠ 12 week goal challenge https://youtu.be/RqrPuPxjmoY?is=gj12r0LseWUM2XN2 Patreon goal challenge https://www.patreon.com/LIFEstyledplanner/posts/171533225

    Ep. 27 - Journal with me | 3rd Quarter Review

    Week 5 — Q3 Review This week, we're turning our attention backwards and taking an honest look at the third quarter of the year. Rather than simply asking ourselves what we achieved, we're getting into the nitty-gritty of where our time and energy actually went, what worked, what didn't, and what this season has taught us. It's a chance to pause before we rush into the final three months of the year, to recognise the things we're proud of, acknowledge what perhaps needs to change, and gather the lessons that Q3 has left us with. We'll also use our reflections to start thinking about what deserves our energy as we move into Q4. We'll explore: Looking honestly at the quarter we've just livedThe difference between our intentions and what actually happenedWhere our time, energy and attention wentRecognising the wins we might have overlookedLearning from the things that didn't workUsing what we've learned to approach Q4 with more intentionThe full journaling prompts and guidance notes are available inside Journal Club on Patreon. If you'd like to journal along with the complete session, come and join us over on Patreon, where you'll find all of this month's prompts and the full September journaling journey. And as we close September, I'll leave you with one question to carry into the week: Knowing everything I know now, what deserves my energy next? Thank you for spending September with me. #journalprompts #journaling 📌 Connect with us: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lifestyledplanner⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/lifestyledplanner⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LIFEstyledplanner⁠ Website: ⁠https://www.lifestyledplanner.com⁠ Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/LIFEstyledplanner⁠ Pinterest : ⁠https://pin.it/32Hw2VD4F⁠

    Ep. 26 journal with me - finding what lights you up | the in-between

    Journal with me: The Spark | the In Between We've spent the last few weeks noticing where we are, recalibrating our direction and opening ourselves up to new possibilities. This week, we're bringing those ideas a little closer as we explore The Spark. It's one thing to imagine what could be possible, but how do we decide which dreams and desires are worth pursuing? And what would it look like to start taking our own ambitions seriously? As we approach the final quarter of the year, this is an opportunity to recognise what matters to us and begin thinking about where we're ready to direct our energy. Which of our possibilities feels most important to us right nowWhat we might need to release to make room for something newThe discomfort and uncertainty we're willing to embraceWhat it means to take our own ambitions seriouslyWhat we'd choose to dedicate the final three months of the year toOur prompts will help us move beyond simply imagining what could be possible and begin exploring what we're genuinely ready to pursue. We're not creating a detailed action plan just yet. Instead, we're giving ourselves permission to choose what matters and acknowledge the things we're willing to show up for. You don't have to see the whole staircase to take the first step. You don't need every detail figured out before you begin. Sometimes the first step is simply deciding that something matters enough to give it your attention. 📌 Connect with us: Patreon: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/LIFEstyledplanner⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lifestyledplanner⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/lifestyledplanner⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LIFEstyledplanner⁠ Website: ⁠https://www.lifestyledplanner.com⁠ Pinterest : ⁠https://pin.it/32Hw2VD4F⁠

    Ep. 25 Journal with me : giving ourselves permission to explore our possibilities | The In-between

    Journal Club: Possibility | In-between— Week 3 So far, we've paused to notice where we are and then taken a closer look at the direction we're travelling in. This week, we turn our attention towards what could be next. Rather than jumping straight into goals or asking ourselves how we're going to make things happen, we're giving ourselves permission to explore our desires, dreams and possibilities without needing all the answers. Sometimes we need to imagine what's possible before we can begin to create it. The desires that keep quietly returning to usWhat we'd choose if we weren't worried about being realisticThe parts of ourselves we're ready to give more room toWhat we'd love the final months of the year to look likeWhat we're ready to call in — and why it mattersThis week's journaling is about getting curious rather than creating a plan. You don't need to know the how yet. 📌 Connect with us: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lifestyledplanner⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/lifestyledplanner⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LIFEstyledplanner⁠ Website: ⁠https://www.lifestyledplanner.com⁠ Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/LIFEstyledplanner⁠ Pinterest : ⁠https://pin.it/32Hw2VD4F⁠

    Ep. 24 Journal with me I Recalibrate - does the direction we're travelling in still feels right?

    Recalibrate | Week 2 Last week, we stood at The Threshold, taking a moment to notice where we are and what has been shifting. This week, we take the next step and recalibrate. As we move towards the final stretch of the year, it’s a good time to pause and ask whether the direction we're travelling in still feels right. Not because we've failed or need to start again, but because our priorities, desires and circumstances can change. Sometimes we don't need a reset. We just need to adjust our route. What has become more important to us this yearWhere we're spending energy that may no longer feel worthwhileThe things we're pursuing because we genuinely want them — versus what we feel we should wantWhere a small but meaningful adjustment could make a differenceWhere we want to intentionally direct our energy for the rest of the yearThe prompts are designed to help you look honestly at your current direction without turning the process into another list of things to fix. You might discover that you're exactly where you want to be. You might realise you've drifted slightly. Or you may find that something you once wanted simply isn't right for you anymore. All of those realisations are useful. You don't need to start again. Sometimes you simply need to change direction. Take some time this week to sit with what you've discovered and notice what feels different. Next week, we'll move into Possibility — opening ourselves up to what could be possible when we stop immediately asking “How?” and allow ourselves to imagine “What if?”  📌 Connect with us: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lifestyledplanner⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/lifestyledplanner⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LIFEstyledplanner⁠ Website: ⁠https://www.lifestyledplanner.com⁠ Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/LIFEstyledplanner⁠ Pinterest : ⁠https://pin.it/32Hw2VD4F⁠

    Ep. 23 Journal with me : Threshold, working out where you are | The In-between

    Our first week is all about standing at the threshold. We'll take a moment to look at where we are right now, what has changed since the beginning of the year, what feels unfinished, what we're beginning to see more clearly and what we might be quietly outgrowing. There’s no pressure to have all the answers or decide what comes next. This week is simply about noticing. What feels different about you now compared with the beginning of the yearThe things that still feel unfinishedWhat you're beginning to see more clearlyWhat you might be outgrowingWhat possibilities you could be open to as you enter this next seasonAs you journal, remember that you don't need to turn every realisation into an action plan. Sometimes simply becoming aware of where you are is the first step towards knowing where you want to go. Before we can decide where we're going, it helps to know where we're actually starting from. Give yourself permission to pause at the threshold this week. Look back.Look around.Notice what is beginning to shift. 📌 Connect with us: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lifestyledplanner⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/lifestyledplanner⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LIFEstyledplanner⁠ Website: ⁠https://www.lifestyledplanner.com⁠ Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/LIFEstyledplanner⁠ Pinterest : ⁠https://pin.it/32Hw2VD4F⁠
