Video: All things embodied journaling with Sarah Cannata and Selena Faye 

By Sarah Cannata

As part of the 2025 Midlife Madness Summit, Selena interviewed me about journaling, writing, midlife and more. I have included a short summary of what we discussed below the video.

The topics Selena and I discuss in the interview:

  • How I started writing
  • My thoughts on why writing is one of the most under-utilised tools we have on-hand on a 24/7 basis
  • Writing as a well-being tool
  • Why you only need 10 minutes to get started with writing - you can define what writing 'regularly' means to you
  • Why it's important to leave all of the baggage you have attached to writing out the window when we're using writing as a well-being tool
  • My only non-negotiable when it comes to writing
  • How to find safety or a 'resource'
  • What it means to be trauma-informed
  • The importance of building a writing habit rather than writing only when you feel things are not going your way
  • Anxiety
  • Connecting with the physical body
  • Writing as part of a lifestyle and to complement other modalities you may be engaging in
  • Creative writing
