Creating Space: A 6-Week Journaling Course

Announcing a journaling course in collaboration with Buster Benson at 750 Words — designed to help you step back, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters. Join us!

Not that long ago, my life was a blur of daycare drop-offs, long commutes, back-to-back meetings, and bedtime scrambles. Every inch of my time and energy was spoken for, and any spare moments were spent recovering before the cycle started all over again. I told myself that if I ever found something I truly wanted to pursue — a job change, a personal project, a hobby — I’d ask for space to do it.

But I didn’t even know what to ask for.

Looking back, I see that I had built a life where there was no room for possibilities, no space for my subconscious to consider what might be. The things I really wanted — new ideas, meaningful work, creative projects — were buried under the immediate demands of just getting through the day.

Around that time, I started journaling regularly. Inspired by The Artist’s Way, I began writing “morning pages,” 3 pages (or about 750 words) of daily journaling.

I loved the practice of private journaling and the mindset that creativity could flow freely instead of being a scarce resource, although the more religious and spiritual aspects of the program did not appeal to me. Making that space to write daily nudged me out of a scarcity mindset and into a place where things started to feel more open, more interesting, more possible.

After leaving my last startup last October, I’ve been juggling the constant demands of three kids (including a 1 year old), figuring out what’s next work-wise, and trying to navigate news consumption with the external world on fire.

During this period of sometimes (ok, often!) feeling untethered and overwhelmed, I turned to journaling yet again and have been using 750 Words as a writing tool. 750 Words has been a game-changer for me in helping me to show up and prioritize space for myself to process what’s going on, tap into what I really want, and think creatively about how to make it a reality.

I’ve also successfully befriended Buster Benson of 750 Words, and we’re excited to share an expansive and joyful offering: Creating Space, a 6-week guided journaling course.
