Helsinki, Tuesday, October 14 — It’s wild how often pain opens the door to the most beautiful connections — raw, real, and honest — the kind that create a vulnerable space for genuine sharing. Our last Book Club, on Sunday, turned out to be the most unexpected, and maybe the most needed, conversation I’ve had in a while.
Having a space where we can share our stories and feelings — no matter how unfortunate or how lucky they are — is exactly what I wished for when I started Secret Club. Our meetings are a place to cry together, to celebrate our wins, and to witness each other through it all. Sunday felt like a true moment of sisterhood. I really appreciate how real we are.
We’ve been incredibly lucky with our past events, and I’m excited to continue bringing more magic into our days with sessions that spark creativity, connection, grounding, and self-awareness. I’m letting it flow — following the sparks of synchronicity and curiosity wherever they lead.
Speaking of which, our last workshop with Tereza was an absolute blessing. Pure magic — I’m still buzzing from it!
READING CIRCLE — Wednesday, 15/10
This week, we’ll have our Reading Circle on Wednesday (tomorrow!), and I’ll add some journaling sparkle to see how it will be. If you feel called to join, come — we always have room for one more story in the circle.
I’m sure we will have another fabulous dive into the Women Who Run with the Wolves themes. Each session is so special, and I’m looking forward to meeting you!
BOOK CLUB — Sunday, 26/10
Our next read is Little Women by Louisa May Alcott! I can’t wait to get into the beautiful mess of sisterhood — how we’ve been shaped, how we’ve resisted, and how we keep showing up as our most real, radiant selves anyway.
I have a super special invitation to all of you!
We will celebrate the Dear Diary column with something special!
After realizing I’ve been journaling out loud for over twenty editions (!), I want to invite you to journal with me in a casual and magical session. It’s open to everyone — all you need is a pen, paper, and your beautiful presence.
Online Journaling Session — Tuesday, 21/10
Bring your girlfriends! It’s going to be a cozy, soul-sparking session where sisterhood and creativity take center stage. I’ll guide you through a juicy journaling journey, and we’ll wrap up with some honest sharing and a circle that feels like a collective exhale.
Afterward, you’ll get access to our exclusive Journaling Challenge in a Secret Club WhatsApp subchat — a cozy corner just for us.
And if we fall in love with it (which we absolutely will), I’m already seeing this becoming our new ritual: a circle of 15 to 20 women, surrounded by notebooks, glue, scissors, pens, laughter, and the kind of conversations that make life make sense again.
Oh, and in case you need a logical excuse for all this magic — journaling literally lowers cortisol by 23%, boosts mood, sparks creativity, and helps turn chaos into meaning. But really, do we ever need an excuse to feel this good?
See you around!
