If you’re feeling unsure about taking the next step—in your personal or professional life, this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman. Listen in as host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Becca Ribbing, author of Journaling for Clarity.
“Those feelings are telling you there’s something wrong and they’re screaming at you.”
Show Notes:
Maybe you have an unfulfilling job or an unreasonable boss, and you’re feeling burned out and stressed. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in some other situation in your life. How do you make a decision about what to do when the answers aren’t clear? In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman (previously Woman Worriers) podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, talks with Becca Ribbing, a coach and author of The Clarity Journal, about why women who are stuck in unsatisfying or even toxic relationships at work or home so often don’t see the way out. They talk about journaling as a tool to find clarity and the strength to take the next step.
