In this episode of The Daily Helping, Dr. Richard Shuster is joined by Kayla Logue, a trailblazer committed to empowering individuals to redefine their paths and take charge of their destinies. A bestselling author and founder of the nonprofit Move Into Words, Kayla shares her inspiring journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Kayla opens up about her pivotal moment during the COVID-19 pandemic when she realized she was living a life dictated by societal norms rather than her true desires. With only $900, she decided to start over, redefining success and embracing radical accountability. Through her nonprofit’s initiative, Operation One Million Journals, Kayla aims to bring clarity and purpose to countless young professionals by fostering journaling as a tool for growth.
Her latest book, Always Squeezing Lemons, takes readers on a journey of resilience, self-forgiveness, and the pursuit of purpose. In this conversation, Kayla breaks down her “3 Ds” framework—Dream It, Define It, Do It—offering actionable advice for creating a life of meaning and contribution.
Tune in to discover how journaling became the cornerstone of Kayla’s transformation, why redefining your inner circle matters, and how a shift from consumption to contribution can ignite passion and purpose in your life.
The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
When you realize you can be the cause, problem, and solution for everything in your life, your world changes. That's a simple mindset shift that things out of our control give us a lot of anxiety, whether we realize it or not. But if we can really reframe anything that's bothering us, what control do we have in that moment? And what can we do to release distress or take that away from us? But at the end of the day, we are the only ones in control of our actions and our responses. And when we can really live life that way, it's interesting how your perspective starts to change.
