Journaling is a popular suggestion as a small step on this podcast and beyond as a way to get in touch with yourself. But if you’re new to journaling or have a block around it, figuring out where to start can feel confusing or overwhelming. In this episode, I talk with Jess Song about how journaling can help and how to make journaling a more approachable practice.   About Jess Song Jess Song is Korean-American born in, raised by Brooklyn, NY. Jess is the founder of Back to Self and is committed to bridging cultural gaps in emotional health. She’s spent 15 years working with underserved immigrant/diaspora/2nd-generation populations, and learned there is an unexplored gap in the way we process, communicate, and navigate our emotions--especially the difficult ones.    With Back to Self’s journaling workshops, Jess aims to reset this cultural and generational gap by bringing counseling, healthy communication, and healthy relationship frameworks into a daily, accessible practice.  Small Steps in the Show:  Learn to sit before journaling Check in with yourself first Consider a visualization of being in a room to sit with yourself Be more okay with being uncomfortable Create a routine or ritual around it Consider committing to a set number of pages everyday Have a definite thing that starts and ends the journaling time Observe more and narrate less Identify your fuzzy words Observe yourself with compassion and know you don’t have to solve the problem Stay present with the facts Consider journaling in a different format (audio or video)   Mentioned in the Show: Buy my Enamel Pin The Artist’s Way The Cosmos Jess’s Website Follow Jess on Instagram  Get the full show notes here!

Hey everyone! We get REAL this week on SpilltheTeaSis. With Back to School Season slowly trickling in, Paige still being on vacation and me (Ashvini) thinking a bunch of things through...we thought it would be the perfect time for me to do an anticipated solo episode where I talk about experiencing burnout and finding myself again in the aftermath. Honestly, it's all still very inexplicable to me but I do my best in these week's episode to share some key tips for regrouping and getting ready for battle ;)

This was advice that a homeschool facilitator gave to Worldschooler Jaime Salonen, my next guest on episode 007 which airs in 2 weeks.  I feel this advice is important for every parent, whether they home educate, unschool, worldschool or follow the traditional public school system. With Back to School just around the corner for many in Canada, and already started for many families in the US, this episode I take time to talk about the importance of reflection for a family and some strategies we can use. Reflection is important because we are taking the time to evaluate where we are, what we are doing and if these actions are still working for us or still reflect our values and beliefs. Are we living a happy, thriving life? Do we need a change? Is this a complete change in how we live, a paradigm shift or is it a few minor adjustments? What  key steps can you take to get to this process? Taking time out to think about and list your family’s education goals, family values and priorities. Do this on your own and then together as a family. These goals and values can include: Creating a happy learning environment Fostering communication Self Respect Fostering Independence Developing a love of learning Think about and write down your values and beliefs around education and learning. When did they start to form? Reflect how and where you created these beliefs for yourself and others. Is play an important part of learning process? Or does it only apply to certain ages? Do you feel post secondary certification is the measure of educational success? Do you feel grades and testing are the best measurement for proof of learning? Is experience and application a true reflection of learning? Talk to others from differing backgrounds and ask questions. What does learning look like for them? How are they living this in their life? Do any of their values and beliefs reflect yours? Do their values and beliefs oppose yours? Where and how? You actually don’t have to wait for summer to come around to start the reflection process. It’s essential to do this throughout the year. Then we have a better idea of how we can move forward tomorrow, next mont, or next year. Sometimes it’s a great time to open communication with our children, friends and family. Our kids are always telling us in words, actions or subtle ways that we need to STOP AND LISTEN. They have important things to say.
