466-Coach Corner: Journaling vs. Thought Work — What's Best for Diet Mindset?

Journaling and thought work are not the same thing. And if you've been mixing them up, the change you're looking for may be stalled at the surface. In this Coach Corner, I answer a real question from a Groundwork client who has been deep in the podcast. She noticed I keep talking about thought work and cognitive behavioral coaching, and she asked: is that the same as what I'm doing when I journal? It's not.
