Podcasts about writing your story

A former labor and delivery nurse and childbirth educator, Vanessa Janek thought she knew what to expect from birth. Going into it, she was a bit leery of transition… but nothing could really prepare her for the exhaustion, fear, and overwhelm she felt when contractions went away, just after she got to 10 cms. She shares with Adriana how she was able to get past those feelings to push her baby out just in the nick of time, despite being taken to her edge. Sponsor offers - TIME SENSITIVE! NEEDED - Get 20% off at ThisIsNeeded.com with code BIRTHFULHONEYLOVE - Get 20% off at HoneyLove.com/Birthful PAIRED - Practice love every day with Paired, the #1 app for couples.

This week, writing coach and author Ally Fallon is back to talk about the transformative, scientific, healing power of writing, specifically, writing about your life experiences. Here's why: writing aids in organizing thoughts and emotions, which can help manage the distress from traumatic events. In many ways, this exercise is based upon the work of Dr. James Pennebaker, and requires nothing more than a pen, and paper, and between 15-30 minutes each day. Its efficacy is backed by over 200 peer-reviewed studies. And if you're like me, eager to move forward and experience transformation in life, it is a powerful tool to employ. We're also going to talk about the pain of resistance and how writing aided her healing of an autoimmune disease. Episode Links: Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

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. Without problems, there's no story.” “Consistently the people who come to the Write Your Story workshops, who pick up this book, who come to me asking for help with a book 100% of the time, these are people who are hungry for spiritual growth. And they're like, ‘I don't care what it takes. I don't care how uncomfortable it is. I want this for myself.' And I hope that the book can help them to achieve that.”   Learn more about Ally: https://writeyourstory.com/ Get your copy of Write Your Story https://www.amazon.com/Write-Your-Story-Framework-Understand/dp/1637632592 Ally on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/allyfallon/?hl=en   Connect with me:   http://www.stillbeingmolly.com http://instagram.com/stillbeingmolly http://instagram.com/canilaughpod http://twitter.com/stillbeingmolly http://facebook.com/stillbeingmolly http://facebook.com/canilaughpod http://tiktok.com/@stillbeingmolly     GET YOUR COPY of ‘IF I DON'T LAUGH, I'LL CRY” TODAY: Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/IIDLICbn Amazon: https://amzn.to/48VYFkG ChristianBook: https://bit.ly/IIDLICcb Target: https://bit.ly/3Shh3Q2 Walmart: https://bit.ly/3MmGVpJ Indie Bound: https://bit.ly/IIDLICib Audible: https://amzn.to/3ITcdm8 Kindle: https://amzn.to/3ITaSvv     About Can I Laugh On Your Shoulder?   Can I Laugh On Your Shoulder?

Shawn Rivers (@growthbyshawn) is a fat loss and transformation coach, and host of the Growth by Shawn Podcast. Shawn works with clients to develop sustainable healthy habits in order to deliver lasting results. Shawn and I share many things in common, but one of the biggest is our promotion of structure and accountability. Shawn talks a lot about how he uses his calendar to ensure he gets everything done that he needs to. And not only that, but how he builds in accountability to help keep the promises he's made to himself. This is something we all struggle with. More or less we “know” what to do, just can't seem to do it consistently. Shawn talks about how to structure your life, and change the story that you tell yourself about yourself in order to become the person that you are trying to be. It was a fun chat with a lot of really simple takeaways that you can implement immediately, and I hope you do. Give Shawn a follow on IG, and be sure to subscribe to the Growth by Shawn Podcast as well. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

In this weekly podcast, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week from a psychological perspective. This week's astrology of May 27th - June 2nd continues our experience of the curious and questioning style of Gemini season with Sun-Venus-Jupiter still freshly in Gemini. The Third Quarter Moon in Pisces on Thursday 5/30 brings a sense of assessing where you're at with things now and how you'd like to proceed in the future. Mars conjunction Chiron in Aries brings a potential for taking direct active steps toward healing. There's also a theme around determining how you can protect or advocate for yourself (either externally or internally by making space for your own feelings). Mercury will conjunct Uranus in Taurus, symbolizing an awakening of unconventional ideas, insight, and maybe an unexpected reframe around a situation in your life. Finally, Jupiter in Gemini will make a helpful trine to Pluto which supports your expanding your capacity for depth and intensity of experience. Wishing you a most easeful week

Life is filled with seasons that we don’t see coming. Some are beautiful and some make you feel like you have lost track of which way is up. Every day can feel like a battle. Christina Schug. Founder of Schug Counseling desires as a clinician is to come alongside you, or your child & family, as you navigate the challenges on your journey towards healing & deep, abiding peace. Christina shares a time that she was looking in empty wells to quench a thirst that seemed unquenchable. Through the unrelenting invitation of a good friend she reluctantly attended a conference. That is where she experienced the living God and gave her life to Him. Also, Shawna challenges us to think differently about faith. It’s more than what we believe about God. It’s how we live because of what we believe about God. Faith requires action! Lastly, Scott reminds us that even though we are tempted to believe security can be found in a healthy savings account or a million other things we put our trust in, that God is a strong tower, the safest place of all. The righteous run into it and are safe.Support the show: https://give.moodyradio.org/fall-share?v=def&appeal=MRWM&_gl=1%2a142i9we%2a_ga%2aNTE4MTE5MmUtY2U1Yy00YmQ3LWU4MmUtNjEwYTQ5YzAyODRj%2a_ga_4WH1937046%2aMTY5NTExODEwMS4yOTkuMC4xNjk1MTE4MTAxLjYwLjAuMA..&_ga=2.197426156.215784306.1695059984-1182841406.166859587See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Traveling is often full of joy and intrigue. Writing about those travel experiences can be difficult but almost always fulfilling. But editing...that's where writers tend to get stuck. Editing can feel not only overwhelming and intimidating, but also tedious. In this episode, Jennifer explores the reasons why editing can feel so tough, but also why it's one of the easiest ways to get across professionalism and interest, build trust with editors, and demonstrate that you care deeply about the story you're trying to tell. In the end, you don't have to be a professional editor in order to engage thoughtfully in the editing process, nor do you ever need to aim for perfection.

Dr. Grace English joins me again to discuss the mindset of getting real to heal. She is a speaker and the director of the Deep in the Heart Conference, which is held in Texas every spring. Didn't catch her story interview in episode 98? She refers to it several times, so I would encourage you to listen to it before you listen to this episode.When she found herself getting extremely anger with her two-year-old daughter, Grace began to realize she'd stuffed her pain. She shared, “Not until I really got real and had true confession and repentance over my sin of abortion and acknowledging the humanity of my baby did God free me from that guilt and shame.”Grace knows getting real to heal is hard, but she believes it's the way for God to heal your heart.Notable quotes from this episode with Grace English:·         “I think we have many idols in our life. He's a jealous God, and He doesn't want to be put second on the back burner. When we think other things in life are more important than Him, then that's when we get into trouble.”·         “I have had to just get really real with the Lord. God, this really sucks. And He's like, ‘I know it does, but I'm writing your story and there is going to be purpose from this whole journey.”·         “The Lord can't use that pain and that loss to minister and speak to you unless it rises up to the surface.”Scripture references:·         Luke 4:18-19·         Romans 8:1·         Galatians 5:22-23·         Nehemiah 8:10·         John 13:7·         Philippians 4:7Connect with Grace English:On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/grace.s.englishOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gracecenglishAbout Deep in the Heart: https://deepintheheartministries.com

One of the highest selling books of all time started out with just 15 copies printed at Office Depot. Paul Young wrote “The Shack” expecting to just give copies to his children — but the book quickly grew past even his wildest expectations. His journey to best-selling author is one that anybody can learn from, whether you're a high-performing CEO stuck in “production” mode, or simply anybody who wants to leave an impact on the world.    Paul Young is the author of “The Shack,” “Cross Roads,” “Eve,” and other books. He was born a Canadian and raised among a Stone Age tribe with his missionary parents in the highlands of what was Netherlands New Guinea (now West Papua). He suffered great loss as a child and young adult, and now enjoys the “wastefulness of grace” with his growing family in the Pacific Northwest.    Tune into the full conversation for more on the backstory behind one of the most successful fiction books of all time, Paul's definition of success (and why so many leaders fall short of that definition, even without realizing it), his top book recommendations, and a lot more.   Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn:    More about Paul's background, including what led him to writing his book, “The Shack,” which is one of the best-selling fiction books ever Why Paul believes “every human being is a story”  The problem with top-performing CEOs and other leaders who are production-oriented — at a cost  Why humans are fundamentally community-centered — and how many have forgotten about that foundation What the core pieces of success actually are, according to Paul Why the inspiration behind The Shack's plot and ideas was “incremental and painful” Why children are an expression of reality in people's lives More about the story behind Paul's “rock bottom” — and how he rebounded from that time The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation Paul's one piece of advice to start with for anyone struggling  A list of some of the most impactful books from Paul's life   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:  Paul's website Contact Paul directly at PO Box 339 Brush Prairie, WA - 98606 “The Shack: Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity” by William P.

Join me for a captivating chat with Odel, an author and writing guide with a powerful narrative to share. Odel walks us through her personal journey of writing and publishing a memoir that traces her path from childhood dreams in Paris to coming to terms with her adoption. Listen in as she reveals the healing that writing brought into her life, transforming her from a victim of her circumstances to an empowered individual, and how using a third-person perspective in her memoir allowed her to approach her experiences with newfound objectivity. Odel's dedication to guiding others in telling their own stories is not just inspiring but a testament to the belief that everyone has a unique story worth telling. In this heartwarming conversation, we uncover the importance of self-forgiveness and the strength it brings to personal growth and relationships. Odel and I discuss the immense power of storytelling in understanding our identities and forging stronger connections with the people in our lives, particularly the complex relationship with our mothers. Her daughters now have a profound legacy through her book, written in both Hebrew and English, ensuring they understand their mother's full identity. We hope this episode inspires you to harness the power of writing as a tool for empowerment and self-discovery. Connect with Odel: www.odeliaelgarat.com

In her message at TGC's 2022 Women's Conference, Blair Linne teaches on the importance of understanding the role of God as our Heavenly Father, especially in the context of healing from fatherlessness or difficult relationships with earthly fathers.Linne highlights these key points:The Blessing of Adoption: God's love and choice to adopt us is not based on our merit but on his grace and love. This adoption into the family of God allows us to have a rich relationship with God as our Heavenly Father.The Role of Forgiveness: Forgiveness is essential, especially in dealing with strained relationships with earthly fathers. Linne encourages her audience to pray for their parents if they should find themselves spiritually lost or emotionally broken, and to forgive with the understanding that forgiveness doesn't necessarily mean re-establishing unhealthy relationships.Writing Your Story and Praying for Parents: Linne suggests the therapeutic exercise of writing your story, including any emotions and thoughts related to your earthly father. She recommends the practice of writing letters to your earthly father or to God and advises praying for your parents, especially if they are still alive.Prioritizing Your Redeemed Family (The Church): Linne emphasizes the importance of prioritizing your church family, as they are part of your redeemed family and are essential in the healing journey. She encourages seeking support and guidance within the church community.Our relationship with God as our Heavenly Father can heal and restore the wounds caused by the absence or difficulties with earthly fathers. Knowing who we are in Christ and God's adoption of us demonstrates his deep love and commitment.Read more on this topic from Blair Linne in her book, Finding My Father: How the Gospel Heals the Pain of Fatherlessness.

Description: Welcome to the podcast episode. In today's episode, we will be exploring where authenticity and courage meet the raw and transformative journey of wellness. Today's guest is Stephanie Fee, a professional ghostwriter, certified master health coach, and the founder of NOCK Sustainable Wellness. Having overcome emotional and physical abuse, Stephanie shares the triumphs and challenges of her non-linear life, drawing insights from her experiences to guide others towards unlocking their full potential. This episode dives into the nuances of courageous leadership, inner transformation, and the healing process. We debunk common misunderstandings about wellness, discuss the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, and unmask the realities of bootstrapping a startup. Our discussions go beyond the ordinary with themes such as "Courageous Leadership: More Gut, Less Ego", "The Raw Truth about Bootstrapping a Startup", "Writing Your Story and the Joy and Pain That Comes from Vulnerability", and "Transmuting Pain into Potential". Stephanie is an open book, always ready to answer thought-provoking questions. From her favorite childhood memory, to the type of criticism she's received as a writer, to how her leadership style differs from what she's experienced in the past. She digs deep into what makes her wildly authentic and shares her latest favorite healing modalities. She also invites you to join her in unearthing your authentic self, with discussions revolving around misunderstood facets of her character, the one thing she didn't expect in her career, the most important lessons she's learned as an entrepreneur, and even the insults she's received that she's actually proud of. Today's episode is not just a podcast; it's a sanctuary for those seeking authentic living, encouraging listeners to embrace their unique journeys, leverage their challenges, and move courageously towards their innate potential. It's about thriving through our differences and living a life that truly resonates. Tune in, and let Stephanie guide you through the unexplored corners of your own transformation story.

“God is writing our story. This isn't our story to write.” What happens when your story doesn't turn out the way you thought it would…When hope seems lost. Dreams are shattered. Pain persists. What if we entrusted our story to the One who wrote it? What if we believed that He was working every detail together for good? What if we surrendered tomorrow to the God who already knows what tomorrow holds? In today's message, Tonya shares her story of faith, hope, gratitude, and trusting in the God who provides in seasons of pain. Even when her circumstances didn't go the way she hoped, she kept her eyes on the eternal hope found in Christ. God is writing your story. He is proving in every page. There's not a chapter that's missing. I learn more about Tonya's story, click here.Shop HH x MH Collection here.Learn more about our Podcast, Episode Guests and Hunter's Hope here.

What's your story? It's a question that opens the door to the story you want to tell. In contrast to a resume review, list of race results, or accomplishments of note, it provides you the freedom to reveal the elements of your life that color your canvas of time. It's my favorite question to ask “soon to be friends” at a party or networking event and it's a close cousin to the clear personal vision we discussed a few weeks back. Today, one of the world's foremost weavers of life stories, James “Bob” Hagerty, will join us to share why writing our story can be so powerful – both for ourselves and our loved ones.Welcome to the latest episode of the Catalyst 360 Podcast – your trusted resource for the best in engaging, evidence-based health, wellness & performance insights.  Today's guest, James “Bob” Hagerty has been a reporter and editor for more than 40 years and is the Wall Street Journal's only full time obituary writer.
