Her work is grounded in mindfulness, breathwork and nervous system regulation, delivered in a practical, no-fluff way that resonates with people who are sceptical of self-care and tired of being told to slow down. She is the author of Inner Affirmations: Using Mindfulness to Connect to Your Inner Wisdom. Katharine is also a meditation teacher with several hundred meditations on Insight Timer and over a thousand videos on YouTube. ======= What we Discussed:00:00 Intro00:45 Who is Katharine Chestnut02:30 Waking up in hospital on Thanksgiving — the turning point05:00 How journaling was the first step out of an abusive marriage08:00 Why you will never empty your brain in meditation (and that's okay)11:00 How she learned to meditate anywhere — airports, Ubers, aeroplanes14:00 Mindful journaling vs gratitude journaling vs stream of consciousness18:30 What non-dominant hand writing does to your ego and inner voice23:00 Why she thought about writing this book for 17 years26:00 How to use journaling to make clearer decisions30:00 Managing stress and burnout without adding another task to your list34:00 The 90-second meditation and why it works37:30 How staying calm changes the energy around you41:00 Why she became a meditation teacher and how her meditations are created44:30 The journal quality — why she ordered 20 samples before choosing one47:00 What the book Inner Affirmations covers step by step50:00 Creating your own affirmations from your own writing53:00 The courses available — Mindful Journaling and the 7 Day Reset55:30 Where to find Katharine ======= How to Contact Katharine Chestn…","meta_description":"Katharine Chestnut helps people who look fine on the outside but feel fried on the inside understand what's actually happening beneath the stress — and mo…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2772,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/meditation-podcast-897902/episodes/303-the-power-of-journaling-meditation-for-busy-professionals-katharine-chestnut/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/meditation-podcast-897902/303-the-power-of-journaling-meditation-for-busy-professionals-katharine-chestnut.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
