A weekly letter about building a steadier, stronger life – through clarity, reflection, and honest growth
The Hagen Growth Journal is where the public work meets the private process. Each week, I share a distilled insight from my own reflections – a small piece of truth you can use in your own life. You also get a short summary of the weekly log, so you can follow the broader journey without reading the long version.
And as new articles are released, I include a brief note about the ideas behind them, along with a link if you want to go deeper.
It’s simple, steady, and designed to give you something useful to carry into the week.
A few examples

Why I write it
The Journal is the most direct way for me to share the thinking behind Hagen Growth. The weekly log captures the longer story, but the Journal distills the essence – the part that matters in everyday life.
Writing these letters keeps the work honest and connected to real experience, not theory for its own sake. It also gives you a consistent place to check in, reflect, and adjust course without having to navigate the full site.
It’s a small format, but it’s where most of the real work happens.
If you want a steady companion for your own growth, you’re welcome to join.
