Episode Intro

This episode is a little different. You'll know it's for you if you've thought of writing a memoir, or starting a Substack or blog that tells YOUR story. 

Maybe right after the idea whispered in your mind, a mental mean girl asked why is your story worth telling? Who'd read it anyways? And on and on. Then you turned your attention to something else that felt safe, that you know like the back of your hand, but the idea of writing down your story tickles your imagination every time you read something that makes you smile, or feel something deep in your chest. 

You are the reason I am doing this episode. YOUR story is worth telling, even if don't choose to share it widely.

Let's get into it.
