Episode Description / Show Notes:
Ever feel like your story is messy, scattered, or unclear—and that’s holding you back from stepping fully into your purpose? In this episode, I share a metaphor from my 10 years working in reality TV—soft scripting—and how it taught me to find the through threads in the chaos.
I’ll break down how this concept applies to your life and work:
- How to sift through the raw material of your experiences to discover your unique voice.
- Why trying to force your story or follow someone else’s blueprint backfires.
- How to nurture your emerging story so it grows naturally into its fullest expression.
Whether you’re navigating a career pivot, stepping into visibility as a sensitive creative, or exploring a new identity, soft scripting is a practical, nervous-system-friendly approach to clarifying your purpose and showing up authentically.
I also share a new opportunity to practice this in community: my Seen & Safe group membership, a supportive space for sensitive creatives, coaches, and entrepreneurs to grow in visibility without burning out.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- The reality TV concept of soft scripting and why it’s a powerful metaphor for life and work.
- How to find the through threads in your experiences and start shaping your story.
- A gentle, collaborative approach to visibility that respects your nervous system.
