‘Tell the story of the mountain you climbed. Your words could become a page in someone else's Survival Guide’ ~ Morgan Harper Nichols
Sharing stories is part of the human experience. We all have a story, we've all heard other people's stories, & we've all shared our own stories about certain life situations with people at some point. More of us need to be sharing our stories because it's how we connect to one another, and largely, it's how we learn.
Hearing that somebody else has gone through something similar to us, how they have dealt with it, and the lessons that they've pulled from it is incredibly powerful. It gives us light at the end of the tunnel to try to start to imagine what it will be like when we get through our particular situation.
Listen in today as we dive into our stories and:
- Why stories & sharing are so important
- What holds people back from sharing
- When to know if you’re ready to share
- How to share
- *BONUS* 5 min exercise on stories
I want you to recognize and to acknowledge that you have a story to share, that you can change people's lives. Make your story the best fucking thing to happen to you and to someone else at the same time, that power resides within you. The longer you continue to hold it back, the longer you are continuing to hold yourself back and do a disservice to those who could benefit from it.
