So... What is The Journaling Guy Becoming?

From Your HeadphonesTo Your InboxTo Your Letterbox! 💌

This is a slightly different episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast.

Season Five has finished. Season Six is coming. But I'm not quite ready to decide what that looks like yet. After spending an entire episode talking about the importance of stopping before deciding what's next, it would be a bit ridiculous to rush straight into it!

So, this week, I wanted to tell you a little more about what I'm building around The Journaling Guy.

The podcast isn't going anywhere. And neither is my Substack. That's still where you'll find Matt's Notebook, the bonus audio and all the extras that accompany the podcast.

But I also have a separate digital newsletter.

And I have plans for it... Quite cunning plans, actually!

Because before the end of 2026, I'm planning to launch something I've wanted to create for a while:

A Physical "Journaling Guy Newsletter"

An actual newsletter. On Paper. Delivered to you every month!

Something you can make a coffee with and sit down to read. Something you can scribble on, keep beside your Journal and come back to. No notifications. No algorithms. No battery required.

And yes... eventually I'm going to ask you to pay for it! There you go... The world's least secret sales funnel.

But first, I want you to join my FREE digital newsletter.

That's where I'll be sharing my thoughts on Journaling, ideas worth exploring and, over the coming months, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the physical newsletter as I create it.

You'll see it developing and you'll be amongst the first to know when it's ready.

So, there's only one thing I'm asking you to do after listening to this episode:

JOIN THE NEWSLETTER

👉 https://www.mrmattyoung.com/free-course

It's completely free and, if I do my job properly, hopefully one day you'll be sitting there thinking: "Matt, stop banging on about it and just let me buy the bloody thing!"

That's the plan anyway.

• From your headphones...
• to your inbox...
• and eventually...
• to your letterbox! 💌

If you'd like to go deeper into the subjects I explore on The Journaling Guy Podcast, you'll still find Matt's Notebook, bonus audio and additional Journaling exercises over on Substack.

And if you'd like to get in touch with a question, an idea for the podcast, or just to tell me what you think about this slightly bonkers idea of sending people something through the post in 2026, email me — hello@thejournalingguy.com

Please share this episode with someone who might enjoy what I'm creating. And, if you get a moment, please leave the podcast a review — they really do make a difference in helping more people discover it.

Season Six will be along soon.

I'm just giving myself a little space to work out what I actually want it to be.

As Always...

"Keep writing, keep noticing, and keep showing up for yourself."
