Episode Sixteen: How messy can be meaningful.

Episode Sixteen: How messy can be meaningful.

Hi and welcome to Noted - a Microcast brought to you by STM to help you stop scrolling and start scribbling.

When it comes to journaling, we've never been big fans of the so-called 'perfect' way to bullet journal.

What does 'perfect' really mean anyway?

In today's episode, we explore how messy can be meaningful.

Episode Fifteen: A note on keeping it simple.

Episode Fifteen: A note on keeping it simple.

Hi and welcome to Noted, a Microcast brought to you by STM where we do paper so you can do YOU!

One of the things we hear a LOT is how intimidating bullet journaling looks to those who are new to the practice.

So much hesitancy can be created around starting a journal, because people feel they aren't really writers, creatives or artists.

Today's episode is here to remind you that keeping things simple can help dissolve the overwhelm, no matter whether you're brand new to journaling, or you've been doing it for years.

Episode Fourteen: Permission to be you.

Welcome to Noted. A Microcast brought to you by STM where we believe in paper over pixels.

Have you ever found yourself pretending to be someone you’re not, because somewhere, somehow, you’ve been told who you are doesn't quite fit?

Perhaps you’re beginning to realise just how much you've been denying yourself the things you love, and simply not allowing your true self to shine?

Today is the day to remedy that, even if only in a small way.

Welcome to Noted: a microcast brought to you by STM to help you know yourself better through your pages.

How would you feel if I asked you if your journaling practice is still bringing you joy?

Is your journal still a happy place for you?

If the answer to either of those questions is a 'No' or a 'Not sure' then today's episode is for you!

Episode Ten: Moving through chaos with grace.

Episode Ten: Moving through chaos with grace.

Welcome to Noted, a Microcast brought to you by STM, where we believe journaling can change the world, so let's get scribbling!

Perfectionism, guilt, and shame can be regular visitors to our journaling practice.


We can think a mistake means we have to start all over again.

We might question what kind of person we are for not sticking to our original plan.

And maybe we beat ourselves up for not accomplishing our goals this month.


Any of these sound familiar?


In today's episode, we're giving you a friendly reminder that these feelings are not only incredibly common, they also make us human (and therefore more relatable!).

Episode Nine: On listening to your intuition.

Episode Nine: On listening to your intuition.

Welcome to Noted: a Microcast brought to you by STM where we encourage you to embrace imperfection, and journal YOUR way.

Our journals are the perfect place to begin connecting with these parts of us and honouring our internal guidance system. When we say yes to doing this on a regular basis, we say yes to trusting ourselves, and that is a powerful place to be in this crazy world!
