Your Own Story: your welcome reflection
Thanks for reading and listening. Here’s a guided reflection to explore a story from your own life. The prompts are on screen; the writing stays in your journal.
Your free guided journaling session
Your Own Story
Open your session
Their reflections stay in their own journals.
Participants bring their own journal and write by hand, on paper. Journal Party guides the session without collecting their journal entries.
They choose what to share with you.
If you discuss the exercise later, they decide which reflections to bring into the conversation.
A few ideas to make your own.
Your subject matter is the starting point. These examples show how an essay, chapter, or conversation could become a session.

Before you create a session
Does Journal Party collect emails for my newsletter?
No. Use your existing signup form and email provider to collect subscribers and deliver the session link. People can try the session without signing up for Journal Party. If they choose to create a Journal Party account afterward, it doesn’t add them to your mailing list.
What do I need to create a session?
Session creation is included with Journal Party Premium. On the web, choose your plan and add payment details at checkout. If you’re new, we’ll email you a secure sign-in link to open the builder.
What does my audience need?
Their own journal and a pen. Shared creator sessions open in a web browser on a phone, tablet, or computer without signup. Afterward, a free account lets them save their progress and follow the creator. The writing happens by hand.
Can I include sessions in something I sell?
Yes. Share a session link inside a coaching package, course, or membership you sell elsewhere. Anyone with the link can try it without signing up. You handle payments through your existing platform.
Can I offer a session to new email subscribers?
Yes. Collect signups through your existing email form and include the session link in your welcome email. Your email provider manages your list. Participants can try the session without signing up for Journal Party. An optional Journal Party account is separate from your mailing list.
Create a welcome resource you’ll want to tell people about.
Choose a topic your readers or listeners care about. Make a guided journaling session around it, then offer it through the email signup you already use.
