SELF-STUDY CLASS

VULNERABILITY IN
PERSONAL STORYELLING

how we find the courage to tell our stories

One of the questions I get most often is: How are you able to be so vulnerable in your writing?

My answer is that getting clear on why you want to tell your story will lead you to the courage to tell it. Your why will also lead you to what stories to tell and how, when, and where to share them. I created a free video training on this topic that will be free to my newsletter subscribers for a limited time.

Each of us have the power to look at our lived experiences to find meaning and wisdom that we can transform however we want: into art, into lifestyle, into legacy. In my workshops, one of our agreements with each other is that we will view creative vulnerability as generosity, meaning we will realize how offering up our humanity through story is a gift to ourselves and others. In this 66-minute deep dive, I’ll be answering questions like:

  • I want to write my story but where do I start?  What stories do I tell?

  • I have a painful past.  Will writing about it bring up emotions I can't handle?

  • I don't think of myself as a great writer.  How do I do my story justice?

  • I want to share my story but maintain my anonymity.  What techniques can I use?

  • How much is too much?  How do I know when I'm oversharing?

  • How can vulnerability enrich my life and work?

You’ll come away from this workshop with:

  • A writing guide with exercises and best practices for writing personal stories that capture your unique life experiences

  • Perspective on your unique storyteller type and how grasping it can build courage

  • How to access your most honest, authentic voice

  • How to take care of yourself as you do the introspective work of mining the stories you want to tell

Please note that this workshop is included for free inside of the Inner Story Writing Circle subscription which is $40/month. You can learn more about it below.
