Episode 161: Edit the Ego and Write with Intuition

Today on the podcast, I talk to Jacqueline Fisch, the founder of the Intuitive Writing School. Jacqueline shares how writing is a helpful practice to "get out all of the junk" in the mind. We can give ourselves so much freedom to express when we let ourselves write down all of the thoughts and emotions first, and then pause to edit. We don't have to edit ourselves while we are crafting our expressions. This is a helpful practice when thinking about how we write in both personal and professional settings. In our conversation, we explore how looking at your most recent forms of communication (ie. email, slack, texts, DM etc) can offer a lot of insight into your communication style. Jacqueline also shares how we can work with the perfectionist mind when it starts to get loud in writing practice. Take a listen to the whole episode and share your takeaways with us @OneWade and @theintuitivewritingschool.
