Healing Through Words: Mari L. McCarthy's Journey with Journaling
But when we examine and process those negatives, those bad memories, and we really work through and heal those things, it's like we put those things up on the shelf and we have exposed a true beauty and being.
Ever wondered how a simple notebook could change your life? In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', host Valeria Teles chats with Mari L. McCarthy, the founder of CreateWriteNow, about her remarkable journey with multiple sclerosis (MS) and the transformative power of journaling. When MS took away the function of the right side of her body, Mari had to relearn how to write with her left hand.
What started as a necessity turned into a daily practice that reshaped her life in more ways than she could have imagined. Mari discovered that journaling isn't just about putting words on paper; it's a holistic therapy that touches the physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our being. She shares how this practice helped her regain 65% functionality in her right side, improve her diet and sleep habits, and ultimately feel better than ever.
With no prescription drugs for over a decade, Mari's story is a testament to the power of self-love and resilience. This episode dives deep into how journaling can help you process negative experiences, challenge societal norms that hinder holistic health, and listen to your body for true well-being. It's an inspiring conversation for anyone looking to improve their mental, physical, and emotional health.
