you know I love a question, right? Like literally my last book, entirely questions. That's all the book is about.

0:08.7

It's questions that you can ask yourself to take a deeper dive, to know yourself better.

0:13.8

But this one, what is something I've been avoiding and why, is a really great moment to remind you that you don't have to make change just because

0:25.2

you confront what's going on. Meaning, what is something I've been avoiding? That's one question.

0:33.4

And why? That's a whole different question. It's enough to explore what you've been avoiding and why.

0:45.5

And you don't need to do anything about it yet.

official.

1:55.1

Hi guys, it's Rach. Welcome to the podcast and an entire episode devoted to one of my favorite subjects,

2:05.4

journaling. Whether you are somebody who actively journals like I do, or you really want to get

2:19.4
