119 | Why Journaling Feels Overwhelming (It’s Not a Time Problem)

If journaling feels overwhelming, emotionally draining, or like something you never quite have the capacity for, this episode is for you. 

Many highly sensitive and introverted women believe they don’t journal because they “don’t have time,” but in my experience, time usually isn’t the real issue. The real challenge is how journaling can open emotions that feel hard to contain.

In this episode, I’m sharing why journaling often feels heavy for HSPs and introverts, how emotional overwhelm contributes to exhaustion, and what actually helps journaling feel safer and more supportive. 

I'm also sharing a quick journaling prompt to help you get started. If you’ve ever avoided journaling because it feels like too much, this episode will help you understand why it's not about time.
