Finding the Right Words

By Jolie Doggett

A Substack and podcast all about journaling and self discovery. There's no right or wrong way to journal, you just have to find the right words.

I invited Jolie Doggett to be a guest speaker for my creative community knowing that she shared our passion for the written word. It turns out that she is also a master facilitator. She was organized, generous, and a joy to work with. Not only did she walk us through thought-provoking prompts, she facilitated an engaging discussion, making everyone feel seen and heard, which created an enriching experience for us all. I can't wait to work with her again in the future.
