The frameworks inside these journals are a distillation of the thousands of hours I have spent coaching 100+ impressive entrepreneurs, founders and startup leaders.
My coaching sessions with Mica helped me clarify my most profound dreams, live more authentically and reach the calm I need to deal with challenges. I learned how to re-balance my days to ensure that the things that give me energy are always present.
Mica's delicate but sharp questions led me towards some subtle but profound shifts in perspective that I would have never reached on my own. I have greater clarity about the future I aspire to and a clearer articulation of my place within it as a result.

Journaling empowers you to solve your own challenges, without feeling like you're burdening others. It provides you with a non-judgmental forum to process your own thoughts and feelings, so you can communicate them more effectively to those around you.

The physical act of writing activates our prefrontal cortex, the part of our brain which:
Some research also suggests that writing may have another beneficial effect – by keeping the left hemisphere of our brain sufficiently engaged, it allows the right hemisphere to show its strengths:
In humans, just as in animals and birds, the right hemisphere underwrites breadth and flexibility of attention, where the left hemisphere brings to bear focused attention.
The capacities that help us as humans – empathy, emotional understanding, and so on – are largely right-hemisphere functions.
