Personal literacy and following the breadcrumbs that truly serve us is accessible to all.

What is pulling at your attention today? What made you stop when scrolling, listening to a conversation, or reading something today? "Notice the intuitive pulls," Dr. Stephanie Affinito urges us. The book you need is "patient" and waiting for you. The writing you need to do is always waiting in an open notebook.

I know you're going to love this conversation today! We enjoyed talking so much we could have made this episode into a three-part literacy/notebooking series!

Stephanie Affinito is a book-loving, notebook-hoarding literacy teacher educator on a mission to change lives one book and one notebook at a time. She is the leading specialist in creating a personalized book apothecary to meet our personal goals and needs.

In today's episode, coach Marla Beech highlights a journaling technique to get REAL with ourselves in safe and empowering ways thanks to a coach who introduced her to the research behind this application to self-care, Dr. Matt Townsend, https://matttownsend.com

Marla Beech, The Hope Coach, focuses on Finding PEACE with the past & HOPE for the future!

Marla is wife to the man she adores, mom to 4 adult children, 2 in-law children and a Grandma’ma!

Marla has a BS Degree in Elementary Education, is a Certified Peacemaker Coach through the Townsend Relationship Center, host of the Overburdened No More Podcast, and an educator/speaker.

She loves to hike, journal, travel, sew, knit, crochet, garden & read any chance she gets, which these days isn’t as often as she’d like.

Marla loves coaching women who are working their way through their FOG. As a woman who also deals with the FOG, she knows what it takes to stay mentally, physically, emotional and spiritually healthy.

As a certified Coach, Marla focuses on sharing skills of HOPE to those she works with, through journaling, mindfulness, priority planning, and positive psychology principles. She believes that connection with your TIME, LIFE, and SELF are key to overcoming the effects of your personal FOG.

As a devoted Christian, Marla shares how Jesus Christ gives lasting peace and hope, whatever your circumstances. “I acknowledge there are things I can’t resolve on my own and that the things I have learned that have saved me, ultimately came from Jesus Christ.”

Optimism is the result of having a perfect brightness of HOPE while loving God and all mankind.

Marla works one-on-one with clients as well as groups. She loves helping women apply skills that create HOPE through purpose driven practice. She offers many online classes and in-person group workshops to reach as many people as possible.

Marla is obsessed with connection! She desires every woman to feel connected to her SELF. This connection happens as she recognizes her unique gifts, talents, and character strengths and then uses them to connect to herself so she can connect more authentically with others.
