Why Expressive Journaling?
🔮
Why Expressive Journaling? 🔮
We're experiencing a collective creative numbness. In a world that has overindulged in performing for others, our creative souls have gone quiet. We once filled our notebook margins with quirky doodles of secret worlds and things we loved—now we fill digital feeds with facades.
Our creative souls are dulled beneath spreadsheets and status updates, likes and follower counts, while our imagination starves on a diet of productivity and polished profiles.
“Because of Erin and her class, I found the color in my life. It has been extremely cathartic and igniting to the creative part of me that I forgot about living in a world of spreadsheets and email.”
When creativity is neglected, we default to the paths others define for us. Our choices narrow, our work is unfulfilling, and our days blur together.
This class is about reclaiming your unique expressive voice through the lens of your life and your curiosities.
Whether you’re a daily journaler or you haven’t touched a notebook in years, I will teach you how to turn your journal from a stream of consciousness into a mirror that reflects and nourishes your creative spirit.
How I Got Here

My path from tech burnout to creative fulfillment wasn't linear—it was painted, shaped, and captured in my journal. Now I teach these transformative techniques to people who are seeking a way back to themselves.
In a moment I’ll share more of my story, and how a bleak exchange in a grey exam room set everything in motion. But first I want to talk about you, and whether this course is right for you, because it’s not for everyone.
“Erin’s powerful gifts of creativity and presence just transmute and make way for others to make breakthroughs.”

You're uncomfortable exploring emotions in a group setting—this course invites vulnerability, whether you choose to share your experience or simply be present alongside others.

From Burnout to Destiny

How Journaling Led Me to My Destiny
“When was the last time you felt like yourself?" My doctor asked me. That moment, during a routine checkup in 2023, put words to my grief.
I’d spent the last fifteen years bumping along the corporate tech ladder. I had a resume with impressive company names and a salary that offered me financial stability. But over the years I’d become disconnected from my vitality—burnt out.
Journal entry where I honor the extent of my grief from burnout.
My weeks were an endless stream of context-switching and performative meetings that ended in couch-rotting until the Sunday Scaries set in and it started all over again.
I thought about his question. When was the last time I felt like myself? It was when I could be completely honest with my thoughts. It was in my journal.
“No one tells you this absurdity: sometimes you can fake it, somewhat make it, only to realize you don’t even want to be there.”
—Kat Koh, Be the Hollow Bone
Journal entry where I realize the more I cry, the more money I made.
My journals are a mix of visuals and words that I use as an outlet to express outwardly what’s going on inwardly. They’re just for me.
And like rings on a tree, they tell the story of all the things I’ve struggled to overcome. I didn’t know it at the time, but my journals held all the ingredients to awaken me to my destiny.
All the things I’ve journaled about and learned over the last decade.
I left my tech job for a year of creative exploration. During this year I rediscovered what lit me up the most: teaching others the power of self-expression and processing through journaling.
“If we don’t rev our creative engine regularly, something inside us withers.”
—Chase Jarvis, Creative Calling
Journal entry where I combine color with intuitive words and self portrait.
Today, I guide people through the same expressive journaling techniques I’ve developed over the last decade. We use colors, symbols, and creative play to explore what’s inside that wants to emerge.
What begins as creative expression often becomes something more:
An invitation to awaken to your life, your gifts, and your courage.

What Students Are Saying
✨
What Students Are Saying ✨
So much has shifted in such a short period of time. I went from pages of only words written with one mechanical pencil to pages of colors, shapes and phrases.
I carry this journal with me all over the house. It’s helping me process a lot that I struggle to find words for.
After class was finished, I felt uplifted, inspired, and my creative juices were flowing. I'm trying different types of typography, using watercolor, expressing my emotions more vividly.
Your examples, as always, are SO inspiring. The opportunity to play and create with your prompts gave me so many experiences I hadn’t had before.
For a beginner, it was like a shortcut to creativity, with the benefit of being in a supportive community and not relying on my own ideas to get started.
The energy and care the instructor brings to creating a safe space to express and learn from others is part of what makes this experience so transformative.
