So often we look at our lives as ordinary and uneventful. We don’t see ourselves as artistic, or talented, and we question if anyone would be interested in what we have to say.

Our guest, BJ Jewett, is a gifted author and photographer who put these doubts aside and shared her talents with the world. In 2017, BJ published Letter Trees, a beautifully photographed book encouraging readers to discover all the letter trees of the alphabet while on walks in nature. In 2022, BJ wrote another book, this one very personal and poignant. In You Don’t Fall Out of the Universe, BJ shares her family’s story of grief and loss after their son, Jesse, died of cancer.

This episode is for anyone who has ever contemplated writing their own story - whether it's to process their own feelings, leave a legacy for their family, or publish their thoughts or memories for the world's consumption. As storytellers ourselves, we appreciate BJ’s vulnerability and courage as she shares her insights into the process of writing from the heart. We hope you, too, will be encouraged and inspired to take a leap of faith and gift the world with your wisdom.
