Go Deeper: Active and Passive Journaling with Annie Tormos

Licensed therapist and avid journaler Annie Tormos joins the podcast to explore how journaling can move from a passive habit to an active practice for growth, healing, and self-discovery.

In this episode, Annie shares how journaling has supported her personally and professionally—and how Day One’s new Go Deeper AI-powered prompts helped her uncover meaningful insight in just one session. She reflects on the difference between simply recapping your day and writing with intention, and how prompts can create moments of clarity we didn’t know we were ready for.

Annie also opens up about her own journaling rituals, her journey through grief, and why she now considers her journal a consistent and non-judgmental companion.

Listen in for thoughtful reflections, practical encouragement, and a journaling challenge to help you go deeper this week.
