We've all read the data on how storytelling drives connection and empathy. But what happens when people go beyond storytelling and put their most vulnerable, transformative experiences on the page?
In this episode, I sit down with Cynthia Gregory—award-winning writer, journaling advocate, and publisher of "Love Notes from the Soul" and the upcoming "Love Notes 2.0"—to talk about how personal narrative can reshape workplace culture, inspire human connection, and even shift our physical and emotional well-being.
✨ Why vulnerability on the page can create power in real life
✨ How storytelling acts as a catalyst for healing, empathy, and impact
✨ What happens when nonprofit leaders and corporate professionals share their truths
✨ The surprising neuroscience behind journaling and emotional regulation
✨ How Cynthia's own silent retreat sparked an anthology movement of everyday miracles
This one hits deep. Together we explore why "Love Notes" isn't just a book, it's a movement for more compassionate leadership.
If you've ever wondered whether your story matters, this episode is your sign.
