Exhausted by grief and life, I'd already decided to miss my niece's wedding in Cairo. Then the phone rang. A story about saying yes anyway — whirling dervishes, hand-fasting ceremonies, doing my best at Arabic, and the surprising discovery that across ten countries and four continents, we're all the same.  Last October, I was running on empty. Six months after losing my mother, four months after clearing out her house, and still in the middle of planning where to scatter her ashes, I got word that my niece — living in Germany, engaged to a man from Egypt — was getting married in Cairo. I was thrilled for them. But at that moment, I just didn't think I could summon the energy to attend their ceremony halfway across the world.  I'd already made up my mind to stay home and send my  husband as the family representative — until a phone call from my niece changed everything. In this episode, I share how a spontaneous "yes" turned into one of the most moving experiences of my life: officiating my niece's wedding at a 12th-century citadel in Cairo, surrounded by 100 guests from ten countries, a Zaffa dance procession, an actual whirling dervish, a Celtic hand-fasting ceremony, and my own valiant (if imperfect) attempt at an Arabic welcome. It's a story about grief and joy showing up in the same season of life, about the plans we make versus the ones that find us, and about a dance floor in Cairo that looked a lot like a dance floor back home.

"The opposite is always the medicine. You people-please to others — so how do you people-please to you?" — Kari Brunson WrightThere's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from bending yourself into whatever shape a room needs you to be. Kari Brunson Wright knows it well — from a ballet stage, to a restaurant line, to running her own businesses. It took three full reinventions before she learned how to stop.In this episode, Kari shares the honest story of walking away from a decade-long career as a professional ballerina, building and eventually selling a cafe and an ice cream company, and becoming a Psycho-Spiritual Leadership Coach. This is real conversation and authentic storytelling about identity, boundaries, and the whispers that show up long before the big changes do — the kind of personal growth for women that doesn't come with a tidy bow.If you've ever bent yourself into a shape that wasn't really yours, this one's for you.

Your story probably doesn't need more conflict—it needs the right conflict.One of the most common mistakes writers make is replacing emotional confrontation with external obstacles. The result is a story where plenty of things happen, but very little actually changes.In this episode, Zena Dell Lowe explores why audiences connect most deeply with relational conflict, how external events should intensify—not replace—the emotional journey, and why so many climaxes leave viewers feeling strangely unsatisfied.Through a real story consultation, she illustrates how writers accidentally dodge the very confrontation they've spent the entire story building toward.If your middle sags, your ending feels flat, or your climax never quite lands, this episode may help you discover why.Watch this episode on YouTubeFree Resources for Writers:Seven Deadly Plot Points FREE TRAINING VIDEO Free Video Tutorial for ScreenwritingSign up for The Storyteller's Digest, my exclusive bi-monthly newsletter for writers and storytellers.

"Growth happens when you're uncomfortable, because you push yourself into things you wouldn't normally do." — Dr. Shola SulaimonThere's a kind of tiredness that comes from being everything to everyone — and never quite getting around to asking what fills your own cup. For Dr. Shola Sulaimon, that question sat quietly for almost 20 years before she finally let herself answer it.In this episode, Dr. Shola shares what it was like being the first Black woman PhD student in her program, the quiet weight of representing more than herself in corporate America, and the slow internal pull that eventually led her to step away from nearly two decades of corporate leadership. We talk about the difference between being nice and being kind, what it means to leave something on your own terms, and why finding an outlet outside of work and family might be the thing that saves you.If you've ever wondered whether it's safe to want something different than what you built, this one's for you.

She spent close to 20 years in corporate leadership in clinical, regulatory, and quality roles before founding ShoTune Medical Consulting Group, where she advises medical device companies on regulatory, clinical quality, and commercialization risk. She's now building Voice to Value, a Sonoma County community and coaching space for professional women centered on leadership, mentorship, and helping women find the confidence to speak up in rooms where they once stayed quiet.WebsiteLinkedInSupport the show

Many writers assume that Christian stories are defined by clean content, religious themes, or explicit references to faith. But a Christian worldview is not a genre.In this episode of The Storyteller's Mission, Zena Dell Lowe explains why many faith-based stories feel preachy, emotionally shallow, or dramatically ineffective despite their good intentions. More importantly, she reveals how writers can create stories that communicate biblical truth at a deep structural level without relying on overt religious content.Through examples from Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, and modern storytelling trends, you'll discover the difference between worldview and genre, truth and signaling, and why some secular stories often resonate more deeply than many faith-based films.Topics Covered:• Christian worldview vs Christian genre • Why faith-based films often struggle • Storytelling and moral truth • Die Hard and biblical morality • Lethal Weapon as moral storytelling • Principles vs rules in story • The problem with preachy writing • Writing stories that resonate • Biblical worldview in screenwriting • Christian storytelling and cultureCHAPTERS00:00 A Secular Story Can Tell More Truth 01:12 What People Mean by "Christian Film" 02:00 Why Die Hard Matters 03:00 Principles vs Rules 05:30 Compassion vs Justice 06:30 What a Worldview Really Is 07:10 Genre vs Worldview 08:20 The Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters Example 10:30 Why Nuance Matters 11:10 Secular Stories and Biblical Truth 11:25 Lethal Weapon vs Modern Storytelling 12:40 The Postmodern Worldview Shift 14:00 What Writing a Christian Worldview Actually Means 15:25 Stop Trying to Write Christian Stories 15:50 Why the Faith-Based Industry Struggles 17:35 What This Means for Writers 19:45 We Need More Truthful StoriesWatch this episode on YouTubeFree Resources for Writers:Seven Deadly Plot Points FREE TRAINING VIDEO Free Video Tutorial for ScreenwritingSign up for The Storyteller's Digest, my exclusive bi-monthly newsletter for writers and storytellers.
