017 Writing Myself into the World
Welcome
Hello, I’m Dr. Jen Henderson, and this is The Human Archive. Today’s episode is called “Writing Myself into the World,” and I’m inviting you to join me as we explore what it means to truly see ourselves, to find our voice, and to put our story on the page. ✍️
Episode Summary
Have you ever felt invisible, even to yourself? In this episode, I reflect on the quiet power of writing as a way to claim space, name our experiences, and belong. From the hidden words of Emily Dickinson to the bold declarations of Maya Angelou and Greta Thunberg, I share why so many of us shrink ourselves and how writing—even if it’s never shared—can help us reconnect with who we are. I talk about the moments that gave me permission to begin, the books that softened something inside me, and how writing can become a doorway to self-acceptance and connection.
Key Takeaways
- Writing is a powerful act of self-recognition and belonging
- Many voices, especially those who feel invisible, have changed the world by daring to speak
- You don’t have to be a professional writer to tell your story—your words matter
- Writing can clarify your thoughts, hold your truth, and help you make sense of your experiences
- Sharing your story, even if only with yourself, is an act of courage and self-care

Keep telling your truth, even if it begins as a whisper. If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share The Human Archive with someone who might need to hear it. 📝
