What is Finding The Right Words?

Finding The Right Words is a newsletter, a podcast, and a community dedicated to journaling and self exploration. We’re finding the right words to express, empower, and explore our lives, one journal entry at a time.

I believe there’s no right or wrong way to journal. You just have to find the right words. Get started right here.

Who is Jolie A. Doggett?

I’m a writer. I’m a reporter and editor covering the Black cultural experience. I’m also a creative writing coach. I run a newsletter and podcast dedicated to exploring the benefits of journaling for mental wellness and self discovery. 

In September 2023, after leaving a 6-figure job, losing friendships, and entering a deep depression, I challenged myself to write in my journal for 30 days in a row. I created 30 unique one-word prompts to help me stay inspired and thoughtful, and to help me find the right words to express my inner thoughts and feelings. After years of not sharing my personal writing, I created this newsletter and invited others along on the journaling journey. 

Today, I create new journaling challenges every month, I teach online journaling and creative writing courses, I host a podcast all about self expression and self exploration, and I’m still writing in my journal every day. I share some of my inner work and self discovery right here. Welcome!
