A DAY ONLY. GROUNDBREAKING RESULTS.

SCIENCE-BASED.
BACKED BY 40+ YEARS OF RESEARCH. DESIGNED FOR REAL CHANGE.
Hi, I’m Marusha – writer, journaling mentor, and founder of Naked Words, Girls Who Write and the Barcelona Journaling Festival.
For the past three years, I’ve been guiding people through the Pennebaker Paradigm Challenge, helping them release the emotional weight of past relationships, family tensions, heartbreaks, burnout, betrayals, unresolved grief, and stories they no longer need to carry.
This work is deeply personal to me – not just as a writer, but as someone who has witnessed how honest, structured writing can shift something real in people. Again and again, I’ve seen how four days of raw, focused journaling can bring clarity, calm, and a surprising sense of lightness. Yes, 15-minute sessions are more than enough.
You don’t have to be a writer. You just need a pen, some courage, and the willingness to meet yourself on the page. It’s about using language to heal.
I'll be with you each step of the way – guiding, encouraging, and holding space as you let go of what no longer serves you.
Let this be your summer of release.
You’re not meant to carry it all.
PARTICIPANTS OF THE GROUP WON'T BE SHARING THEIR WRITING.
YOUR MOST INTIMATE THOUGHTS ARE SAFE. HOWEVER, THE REFLECTION, OBSERVATION AND COMPASSION ARE MORE THAN WELCOME IN THIS SPACE. YOU'RE NOT ALONE IN THIS. THERE IS SO MUCH SUPPORT IN THE SIMPLE FACT YOU'RE NOT WRITING YOUR HEART OUT ALL BY YOURSELF.
July 21 and will stay together {online} for 4 consecutive days. You can sign up now to participate.
IT WON'T REPLACE THERAPY. BUT FOR THE PRICE OF LESS THAN ONE SESSION, IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH TRYING
- I’d talked about my divorce for years, but never really processed it. Writing for just four days did something all the conversations couldn’t – it gave me back my power. I cried, I raged, and then… I exhaled. Something finally shifted.Sofia, 39
- 20 years of therapy and I only after these 4 days, I finally GOT IT! What a relief!Mike, 42
- Rage. I was holding on to so much unspoken anger from an office fallout that happened two years ago. I thought I’d moved on – until I started writing. These prompts unlocked the truth under the frustration, and I finally feel free of itAlex, 41
- My relationship with my mother has been a lifelong knot. This challenge didn’t magically fix it, but it helped me untangle my side of it. I saw things clearly, with compassion and boundaries I didn’t know I had.Tanya, 32
