E187: The Healing Power of Memoir with Wendy Dale

On today’s episode of the Get Lit(erate). podcast, I’m talking with Wendy Dale about the power of capturing our stories in a private or published memoir. 

Come listen as we talk about why we all should consider writing our memoir, the difference between an autobiography and a memoir that will set you free, the two narrators every memoir must have and why that’s conducive to healing and much, much more. 

As we talk, you’ll hear me processing in real time, excited and in awe over how Wendy systematically opened new possibilities for all of us. I stumbled over my words a few times and that ‘s ok because I was swallowing some truth bombs that made me rethink everything.

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/07/15/the-healing-power-of-memoir-with-wendy-dale/
