## Resource

With The Late Show wrapping up this month, The Pod Show is looking back at some of our favorite moments from Stephen's many exclusive podcast visits from the 'Stephen Presents' series. We wanted to bring back our host's charming tale of a special journal from this introduction to an extended interview with the journaling queen herself, Suleika Jaouad, who talks about the importance of connecting with one's creativity, and why she's flipping her doctor's advice on its head as she battles cancer for a third time. This podcast and extended interview originally aired in May 2025.
