What is actually happening when you write / paint / sing / create? Are you simply dreaming up something in your brain and making it material?  Or are you reaching beyond the mind to something harder to explain or understand?    In this week's episode of the Write Your Story podcast, I share a story that I've only told to about three people before today. And the reason I'm sharing the story is to demonstrate the power of a tool like writing—or really any creative practice. I've said a thousand times that writing is about more than just publishing but I don't think I have accurately articulated what it actually is about.   A few weeks ago, something happened that illuminated the “why” behind writing for me and I felt an urgent need to share it with you.  What if your writing isn't just about finishing a book or getting published? What if writing isn't only about expressing your thoughts or feelings?What if writing is a way to get in touch with wisdom beyond yourself?

When Jesus the Bridegroom writes the story, it may not go exactly as intended, but it always ends up better than you ever could have expected. We see this play out in this episode as we finish the story of Tobit and share from our own personal lives.

Too often we try to change each other to be what we selfishly want each other to be, but God knows best and He has given us His personal perfect provision in our spouse. Let God write the story, it is so much better.

I wanted to talk today about the story we tell ourselves.  Each one of us has a story and each one of us can absolutely REWRITE the narrative of our story.  For a lot of us, the stories we've held onto began back in childhood.  We heard (or felt) things like we weren't attractive enough, we were too fat or too skinny, or we weren't the sharpest tool in the shed.  You fill in the blank.  The thing is that's NOT our story.  Those were simply opinions of others that we allowed to stick to us throughout our lives.  By allowing those labels to stick, we began to believe they were true and lived our lives as such.  

If you could spend 45 minutes with a writing coach who's helped hundreds of people write books, how would that transform your writing process? How much time and energy would you save if you put her advice into practice?    That's what this episode is all about.    After grad school, Ally Fallon quit her job to write full-time. She gave herself 6 months to write her first book. 3 years later, she published it. Despite the success of her first book, she quickly realized that earning a living off writing is hard, so she started coaching other writers who were on a similar journey. Ally's coaching business has grown and now operates under the name, Write Your Story. She's published 13 books of her own and helped countless others get their story onto the page.    She breaks down the fundamentals of good writing一things like:   How to write an opening line that hooks readers Why every book must be about one thing, and how to identify what that thing is Why the most interesting thing you have to say is usually the thing you're afraid to say   This conversation will remind you: your story matters. Self-doubt and insecurity try to sabotage all of us, but thanks to Ally's wisdom and encouragement, you can write your story well.        EPISODE LINKS   Subscribe to Will's weekly newsletter: willparker.me Please rate this podcast: Apple | Spotify Will's Instagram: @willparkeranderson Will's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/willparkeranderson/

They explore the idea of owning one's story and using it as a source of strength and confidence. Bryn emphasizes the importance of embracing the drama and challenges of one's story, while also finding the perspective and lessons that come from it. They discuss the power of storytelling in both the past and the future, and how it can help shape one's identity and create a sense of purpose. They also touch on the idea of being intentional with storytelling and avoiding getting caught up in the drama of the story. Natasha and Bryn discuss the power of storytelling and how to effectively share personal stories. They emphasize the importance of having a healthy way to process and share stories, to create healthier relationship dynamics. They also discuss the impact of changing the audience when telling a story and the importance of being conscious of the details that matter to the listener.

They also discuss the fear of sharing personal stories and how to navigate resistance. Bryn provides tips on extracting the nuggets of our lives and finding themes in our stories. They conclude by discussing the importance of contentment and being present in our own stories. A thriving woman is someone who has taken ownership of her own story and is empowered by her experiences. Storytelling can help separate oneself from the drama of the story and provide perspective and lessons. It's important to embrace the challenges and drama of one's story, but also find the lightness and simplicity in it. Writing down and speaking out loud about one's story can be a powerful way to process and integrate it. Storytelling can be used to create a vision for the future and move towards a desired outcome.

It connects you to the people around you, especially your family members and the people who are immediately related to you. And it also connects you to the broader world at large.” “Problems are the lighter fluid on the fire of stories.

I heard a clever quip the other day about trying to take control from God's hands. God is writing the story of your life: so STOP TRYING TO GRAB THE PEN FROM HIS HAND! This applies to our work as well. Sometimes we think we are living God's plan for us in our work when we are actually just “taking Jesus with us”.  And only praying to Him to ask for blessings on what we are doing at work. How can we know when we've succeeded in FOLLOWING Christ in our work?  By changing our mindset to one of FOLLOWING, vs. LEADING.  Why not start your work day with a prayer like this: Father, today, I commit my hands to YOUR work. As you lead me, may YOUR will be done and may YOU be glorified in all I do. Amen.   

I'm thrilled to have you join us in this episode as we dive into the powerful world of storytelling with my dear friend, Ally Fallon. Today, Ally will share some incredible insights into the emotional health benefits of writing our own stories. She's here to guide us through the process of getting started and tapping into the transformative power of putting our experiences down on paper. Ally Fallon isn't just any guest; she's an accomplished author, speaker, and the founder of Find Your Voice—a community dedicated to helping people express themselves through writing. With her extensive background, including ghostwriting 11 books and authoring impactful works like The Power of Writing It Down and Indestructible, Ally brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. Her latest book, Write Your Story, introduces an 8-step framework that helps anyone craft a meaningful and captivating narrative. Join us as we explore why writing matters, the unexpected benefits it holds for our spiritual, emotional, and physical health, and how you can start making yourself the hero of your own story, even if you've never written a word before. Join Ally and I as we talk about: Why writing our story matters Surprising spiritual, emotional, and health benefits to writing our story Where to start if you have never written before Making yourself the hero of your story How to write compelling hooks   Favorite quotes:  (5:17 Audio) “The main reason writing our story matters is that the act of putting our story on paper teaches us who we are, what our life is about, what we are here for, why we matter, what makes our life so significant, and what is the most interesting thing about us. Beyond that, when we share that story it also allows us to connect with other people who are in our lives.”  (13:37 Audio) “It is really so powerful when you start to put your story down on the page. You just see it in another way.”  (15:33 Audio) “Every story is interesting if it's told in the right way.”  (17:03 Audio) “When you know how to write a great hook, you know how to command human attention, and when you can command human attention, you can give people information that is really important to them.”  (20:45 Audio) “We have a lot more agency in resolving our stories than we think we do because most personal stories resolve when the internal problem resolves rather than the external problem.”    Coaching this week: How to Quit Letting Guilt Weigh You Down In coaching on this episode, I highlight the importance of using feelings of guilt as a gateway to deeper self-reflection, suggesting that these emotions can reveal significant underlying issues, like past unresolved experiences or current unmet needs. I encourage you to engage with guilt, using it as an opportunity to understand and address the root causes, which will ultimately help you find resolution and peace.

Do you sometimes feel the tension between telling the truth about what happened to you and staying “positive”? Or maybe you've given up on staying positive altogether since your story includes tragedy or despair. In this episode, I come at this question head-on. I share an experience from my childhood that I've never talked about publicly before and discuss how I personally have used a tool like writing to tell the story the true way, without letting it crush me.  NOTE: This episode includes explicit language and also topics not suitable for children, specifically childhood sexual abuse. Keep this in mind if you are feeling too sensitive for that topic today or if you have little ears nearby.  Pre-order Write Your Story and download your free resources HERE!   Find Dr. Kim D'Eramo on Instagram: @drkimderamoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I share a highly practical real-life example of how I rewrote my story in real time. When I changed the way I was telling myself the story, I was able to reroute a travel experience from a frustrating and stressful one to one that was more peaceful and fun. I hope you find this story useful as you use the tools from my new book to shape your experience and rewrite your story.    Pre-order Write Your Story and download your free resources HERE!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ally Fallon, coach, author, and host of the “Write Your Story” podcast joins the show today to talk about how writing can be a transformative tool to help connect to who you are and transform your life story.    After writing about her marriage falling apart, Ally learned that putting pen to paper helped her put her life back together while also finding her voice, meaning, and purpose.

On this week's episode of the Write Your Story podcast, I'm sharing a vulnerable story that I've never shared before. This is a story about leaving an important part of myself behind—how I realized she was gone, how I went back to find her, and how I am integrating her into my life now so I can live the fullest, most authentic, version of myself today. I hope this story brings you some solidarity and even inspiration to track down the lost parts of yourself you've lost.

This week, Ally Fallon is back for round two of YNT, right ahead of the release of her new book, Write Your Story. Her core message for readers is that they already have the magic to be the hero in their own lives – and the number one way to harness your main character energy is to write down your stories. Using her proven 8-step framework, Ally expertly guides readers to tell a more interesting story and begin to make meaning and live with more purpose. In this conversation, Ally and Kat talk about the importance (and discomfort) of doing things they aren't good at, how we are making meaning regardless of if we want to or not, and what it's like to have a therapist as a parent (possible foreshadowing for Kat's future).  Learn more about Ally HERE.  Follow Ally on Instagram HERE.
