Brad Wilcox - Part Two - Making Your Life Through Journaling Oct 09, 2023

Show notes

Once again, Brad Wilcox joins us in today's podcast. The topic is one near and dear to not only the heart of Brad, but also myself. I am always concerned with the topic of journaling because there is a tendency for many to mentally shut down.

We also discuss how people journal and end with Brad sharing his deep personal feelings about working with the youth of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - a message that every youth of the church should hear.
