In this episode, I am joined by April Bell, who is the founder of Tree of Life Legacies, a wisdom-keeping and storytelling project based in the San Francisco  Bay Area. In this conversation, we go into the healing power of  storytelling and how connection is formed when we choose to share our  experiences and ask others questions. April gives us examples of storytellers and how you can start telling your own story today. What words are you choosing when telling your own story? Do you actively listen to others, especially elders, when they tell their story? There is a lot of beautiful wisdom in this episode, and we hope you enjoy our conversation! :)


In this episode, we discuss:

  • how storytelling can help you on your self-discovery journey of getting to know yourself
  • how you can take small steps to start telling your own story as a form of healing
  • how being an active listener can help you connect to others when hearing their stories
  • how we can practice listening to our intuition as our story of life unfolds before us
