I’ve kept it here because it explores journaling as a tool for healing, clarity, and memory, particularly interesting for those reimagining how and why they document their lives. ... When Jayne Swallow became a mother, she realized how quickly memories faded and how powerful journaling could be in holding onto them. What began as a personal design project turned into Promptly Journals, a brand that helps people document their lives through beautiful, practical tools, both in print and in app form. In this episode, Jayne shares how journaling has supported her through memory-keeping, burnout, and emotional overwhelm. We talk about writing as a form of healing, how to make journaling doable in busy seasons, and why perfectionism often gets in the way of meaningful documentation. Topics covered: Why journaling matters, even if you’re not “a writer” Jayne’s evolution from graphic designer to journal-maker How journaling shifted from memory-keeping to emotional processing The difference between prompted and unstructured journaling How the Promptly app helps families record and print their stories New journal formats for grief, miscarriage, and mental health Letting go of the guilt when starting “late” Tips for weaving journaling into real-life rhythms Why writing doesn’t need to be beautiful to be meaningful Connect with Jayne + access the archived episode resources here:
