What happens when your story tugs at the tender parts of your heart? In this week’s episode of Your Voice Matters, we explore how to write through difficult emotions — not by forcing the pain out, but by approaching it with intention, safety, and self-compassion.
Jen gently guides you through techniques like the two-versions method, sensory grounding, and finding flickers of strength in your hardest scenes. You’ll hear powerful examples from memoirs like The Glass Castle and When Breath Becomes Air, along with trusted resources to support you, including Writing as a Way of Healing and tools from The Center for Journal Therapy.
This episode offers reflection, writing prompts, and encouragement every step of the way. Remember: writing through pain isn’t about performing — it’s about honoring your truth.
✨ Plus: A gentle 5-minute writing practice to help you crack open a moment and maybe find your own light through it.
You’re not alone. And your voice — yes, your voice — truly matters.
