We all want to be part of a story. One of bravery, overcoming the odds, healing, beauty, and a greater purpose. In the overwhelm of trauma, all of these things seem out of reach, stolen from us, lost in the wasteland of our pain. But reclaiming our lives through words is one of the most powerful and effective ways to heal, and it's available to anyone! Learn how writing your story will help you heal from emotional and spiritual abuse. 

This podcast is chock-full of insight, including:

• how a writing class saved Stacy's life and drove her to teach others about writing
• WHAT writing can help you heal from, and HOW 
• strategies/steps to begin writing for yourself
• why your story (and YOU) matter deeply, no matter what you've gone through
