A Conversation with Jo Bell
The therapeutic wonders of reflective journalling
Jo Bell is a writer, teacher and poet on a mission to help others thrive in their lives through journaling with honesty and compassion.
Jo's creative work has been published in several literary magazines and anthologies. Her debut novel was shortlisted for a major work in progress prize and she's performed at Bowery Poetry Club in New York, Edinburgh Fringe, and recorded spoken word for the BBC.
Write To Thrive is grounded in Jo's experience of writing to simply feel good, a transformative practice she discovered after burnout and a severe period of anxiety and depression.
Jo lives in the beautiful Scottish Highlands with her seriously cute dog, Hope.
This lovely chat delves into:
A hearty and honest conversation about Jo's experiences with burnout and mental health.
How writing helped Jo deal with her tough inner critic, as well discovering the power in speaking to yourself with compassion.
Jo shares the key writing prompts that never fail to shift her perspective and help her tap into her mindset of self-love and self-care.
Jo's positive and mentally healthy approach to social media.
And even if you don't currently journal or write, I feel pretty confident you're going to grab a notebook and pen after listening to this fabulous conversation.
