149. Brave the Page: How Writing Unlocks Emotional Healing and Self-Discovery with Megan Febuary

What if the memories you’ve been trying to forget are actually the key to your healing? Whitney sits down with Megan Febuary, author of Brave the Page, for a powerful conversation about the connection between storytelling, healing, and self-discovery. Megan shares how writing about the harder parts of our lives can become a path to clarity and wholeness, and why revisiting the past can actually be the most important step in moving forward.

 

Megan believes that everyone has a story worth telling. She explains how the body can hold onto past pain and how unprocessed emotions can show up physically, even without realizing it. Megan invites us to explore our memories, reconnect with our inner voice, and let the page become a safe place to process and release.

 

Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected from your creativity, or simply ready to understand yourself on a deeper level, Megan’s insights offer a thoughtful and grounded way to begin. If you've ever felt like your emotions were "too much" or your story didn’t matter, this conversation will remind you that your voice is valid and that writing it down might just be the most healing thing you do.

 

Here’s what you can look forward to in this episode:

• What it means to heal our stories

• Advice for those feeling resistant to exploring this work

• Common barriers of storytelling

• Exploring childhood and engaging with our bodies’ signals to provide a source of inspiration

Reflection question to ponder:  Start with your childhood. Start with your body.
