Ever get stuck in a scene that just won’t move? Or find yourself over-explaining something that felt so powerful in the moment? You’re not alone—and today, we’re cracking the code on pacing and structure.
In this episode of Your Voice Matters with Jen Chambers, we’ll explore how to keep your story emotionally rich and well-paced so your readers stay engaged from start to finish. Through writing exercises, real memoir examples, a calming mini-meditation, and practical storytelling tips, you’ll learn how to:
🖋️ Identify and energize draggy sections
✂️ Cut the fluff and keep the soul
📖 Shape your story with the classic three-act structure
🧘♀️ Tap into your story’s rhythm with breathwork and reflection
Whether you're revising a memoir chapter or just starting your story, this episode will help you write with momentum and clarity—without losing the meaning that matters.
✨ Plus: A 2-minute guided meditation, writing prompts, and resources to keep you moving forward.
Because your story isn’t just what happened—it’s how you tell it. And once you find your rhythm, everything changes.
