Birmingham, Ala. – Stress and emotional overwhelm can affect anyone - for kids navigating school bullies, working parents juggling responsibilities, or seniors facing life transitions. But what if healing began with something as simple as a pen and paper?

Jackson will share the story behind her book, It’s Time to Unpack: A Self-Healing Journal, and guide participants through practical journaling exercises designed to spark self-awareness, emotional release, and healing.
