Imagine if the meanings you gave to your life’s events did not serve you nor your legacy. And yet, there is a book in you that touches upon deep human suffering, universal truths and universal themes, where the content is timelier than you realize. Even if your book could be banned like “Catcher In The Rye”, do you give into the sabotaging voices or doubt that tell you your story isn’t worth telling? And how much do you share about yourself and events so as to not ‘over share’?  

In this episode, Angelina Carleton speaks with Sara Stibitz about how writing a book is a ‘legacy play’ as well as how it will bring out the best in you as well as where you will crack. What is truth in the age of AI or social media? How do you ‘name’ your fears and help others understand your roadmap, especially when you can find yourself in the ‘messy middle’ - where you feel like you are in a rowboat and cannot see the beginning nor the end.  Tune in to hear how writing your ‘legacy stories’ is as about much of an emotional process as an intellectual one in uncovering parts unseen for the first time.
