You're listening to the Journal Party podcast where every week , we get together for the ultimate journal jam session . We journal through life together as a community . My name is Alex Gallner and I'll be your host , so here's how it works . I'll give you a journal prompt in a groove and you just start writing . After a few minutes , you'll hear a little bell that sounds like this and we'll move on to the next prompt . After a couple minutes , you'll hear that bell again and we'll move on to the next prompt , and we'll just keep going on like that till we're finished . Feel free to write on whatever you like , or even just follow along in your car . If you finish before the bell , you can try to dig deeper and elaborate , or just chill out and enjoy the tunes . Don't overthink it . There's no wrong way to do this . So welcome to the party . Journal Party . What's up ? Party people , Alex Gallner here .

I just got back from San Francisco where I was working a consulting contract on a really cool tech startup with a really cool future tech product . I'm not really allowed to talk about it , I don't think , but there's some really cool stuff coming . I was just really excited to be a part of it . I found myself surrounded by some of the brightest minds that I've ever been , surrounded by creating some of the coolest things that I've just never even thought were possible . It just got me thinking how amazing my own personal work journey has been , and a lot of it's due to journaling . If you've been following the Journal Party podcast from the beginning , you'll know that this thing was born out of me getting laid off . I've been mostly working on journaling stuff , but outside of journaling stuff I've got this whole other profession that just won't leave me alone and I'm better off for it . I thought we could talk about work . We don't normally do that here . Today we're going to be jamming through five journal prompts to explore the fascinating world of our professions . Whether you're a seasoned professional , a curious explorer or in the midst of a career change , these prompts will help you reflect on your work life . So open up that journal and let's get this party started .
