82 - Slowing Down and Digging Deep: Antoinette McDonald on Journaling the Year Ahead
Journaling guide and storyteller Antoinette McDonald joins the Day One Podcast for a conversation about slowing down, paying attention, and using journaling to orient through the year ahead. Antoinette shares insights from more than a decade of teaching journaling workshops and retreats, including the metaphors and practices that help people feel more grounded, connected, and honest with themselves, especially in seasons that feel full or uncertain. The conversation includes her "Be the Elephant" approach, inspired by the wells elephants dig, and how those ideas can translate into everyday life through writing. This episode explores journaling as a rhythm, the importance of remembrance, and a reflective end-of-year exercise that invites listeners to write from the perspective of their future self, offering a steady place to return to as the year unfolds.

As we step into a new year, this episode offers a moment to pause, reflect, and look back.

In this episode of the Day One Podcast, Kristen sits down with Katie Swanson, a yoga instructor and journaling guide who brings together movement, mindfulness, and writing in her in-person journaling workshops. Katie shares how her journaling practice began during extended travel, why yoga taught her how to face a blank page, and how slowing down can create space for insight and growth. The conversation explores journaling as a companion through uncertainty, the role of breath and ritual in writing, and why community can transform a deeply personal practice. From restorative yoga and seasonal rhythms to creative blocks and returning to the page, Katie offers a grounded, compassionate perspective on what it means to show up—again and again—for yourself.

79 - The Iterative Mindset: Dr. Kyra Bobinet on Rethinking Motivation and Change
In this episode, Kristen sits down with Dr. Kyra Bobinet—physician, public health leader, behavior change designer, and author of Unstoppable Brain—for a fascinating look at the neuroscience of motivation, failure, and change. Dr. Kyra explains the role of the habenula, the small but powerful brain structure that shapes our moods, our habits, and the moments we suddenly lose motivation—even with practices we care deeply about. Together, they explore how subtle expectations, perfectionism, and everyday "micro-failures" can shut down our desire to keep going, and why adopting an iterative mindset can transform the way we grow, learn, and navigate our lives. They also talk openly about journaling as a tool for self-awareness and sovereignty, and how it helps us understand our inner narratives, track our patterns, and gently re-enter habits that once felt overwhelming.
