My guest this week has spent ten years researching writing, and the psychology of happiness. Author and Academic Megan C Hayes believes the two can be firmly intertwined, and has developed a framework – the Positive Journal®approach – to help anyone pick up a pen and start feeling more positive. In this episode we explore her background online, the psychology and neuro-science behind writing your heart out, and how it can all come together to make magical things unfold.
Things we talk about in this episode:
- Megan’s old blog Charade Style, and how I first discovered her online nearly a decade ago
- Dream style, refining your interests and following your heart
