Turn the fear of vulnerability into creative material
a 66-minute self-study workshop on how we find the courage to be vulnerable through personal storytelling. See below for an overview of what to expect.
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.
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 builds courage and motivation
Mindset shifts to help you 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 membership which is $44/month. You can learn more about it here.
