Emily Chertow believes that journaling is so important for mental health that she started a company centered on sharing it with others. The Founder of Pop-Up Journaling Classes joined us to talk about her journey in journalism and how her past experiences have helped lead her to what she does now.
Emily Chertow found her love for writing in high school when she started an advice column in her local newspaper with a mission to connect with others. After moving to New York City and attending Columbia Publishing Course, Chertow founded 'Pop-Up Journaling Classes'. Her goal aims to inspire people to practice mindfulness and to be gentler on themselves while jotting down their thoughts and emotions. The community she has built in the 3 years since she launched the idea continues to grow and evolve and she says it's her favorite part about journaling classes. Chertow shares how she got interested in journaling, why she believes in the importance of having a positive mindset, and how she was able to pivot her classes once the pandemic hit. Chertow has a heart for self-growth and mental health and she shares some of her goals for herself and Pop-Up Journaling Classes on this episode!
