The write remedy

Transform your life through writing.

 I believe in the power of writing as the remedy for physician burnout, medical student overwhelm, and  navigating the menopause transition. My mission is to empower you with the tools and techniques to write your next chapter—both IN life and ON the page.

Journaling works

Discover the Power of your story 

Journaling isn’t just for writers—yes, you heard that right! At The Joy of Story, we believe everyone can discover their own creative voice through journaling. Why Journal Now? Teenagers and young adults are spending significant time—around 7 hours a day—on digital platforms. Adults over 45 also spend considerable time online, averaging about 5 hours daily. This is the perfect moment to reconnect with yourself, to forge that mind/body connection, and to experience the simple joy of putting pen to paper.
Embrace analog living in a digital world.

KAREN FATICA GEIGER


I help two remarkable groups navigate life's challenges: women in menopause and healthcare professionals.

I came to Karen as I was preparing to enter the query trenches. I’d received feedback from several betas and was feeling good about my manuscript, but wanted someone to take a deeper dive. As a certified book coach, Karen helped me refine my manuscript, making it even tighter.

KIND WORDS

 I was fortunate enough to participate in a series of journal writing sessions with Karen. Not only is she talented, she put all of us at ease and helped develop our love of journaling. Journaling was new to many of us and Karen was able to teach us techniques that allowed each person to grow. I continue to enjoy the many benefits of journaling thanks to Karen.
 - Vedrana M. 

This journal is refreshing and exciting. Reading through the prompts makes me really excited t sit down and be introspective. It is such a wonderful tool and I look forward to gifting this to other so they can experience it too.
