Although I taught journaling workshops for years as a side passion, my interest deepened while navigating a period of chronic health challenges. I came across and used structured writing techniques that had a powerful impact on my conditions, and saw how changing where thoughts lived altered stress, attention, and decision-making in ways that went far beyond reflection or self-expression.

That experience made me wonder: if writing can support healing at that level, what else could it change?

JournalingFix reflects this undertaking - my deep dive into translating research-backed concepts of what’s really going on in our brains - into simple writing techniques people can use to gain back agency, overcome overwhelm and overthinking, and keep an intellectual edge in our AI-saturated work world.

I spent the last decade in various roles inside early-stage teams and consulting for startups across the US, EU, and Brazil. That work gave me firsthand understanding of founder pressure, cognitive overload, rapid decision cycles, and the mental demands of building something from scratch. My early career work with the Jane Goodall Institute and other national non-profits also helped me learn to connect with audiences - from small, intimate events to groups of thousands.

Together, this work shapes talks and workshops - grounded in real experience and clear research - that resonate with audiences navigating complexity, pressure, and constant input.
