In this episode, we speak with Marusha Mozolevskaya, journaling guide, former travel writer, and founder of the Barcelona Journaling Festival, about her journey from documenting the external world to exploring the inner one through journaling. She shares how her personal practice evolved across countries, languages, and life transitions, and how journaling became a tool not just for reflection, but for self-discovery and emotional processing.
We explore journaling as a therapeutic practice, moving beyond habit or productivity into something more relational and intuitive. Marusha reflects on the role of guidance in journaling, how prompts can both support and liberate expression, and the subtle but powerful impact of journaling in community spaces such as workshops and retreats. We also touch on the resistance many people feel toward journaling, and how to gently move through those blocks.
Finally, we discuss the vision behind the Barcelona Journaling Festival and the growing international community around journaling as a shared, yet deeply personal, practice. Marusha leaves us with thoughtful entry points for anyone curious about starting or deepening their journaling journey, and reflections on where this evolving field might be heading.
