Speak Your Story Series – Part 3
Not every part of your story needs to be told to be meaningful—but every part can help shape what you share.
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how to find the message inside your story—the theme that ties your experiences together and creates meaningful connection with your audience.
Whether you're writing, speaking, or simply learning how to talk about what you’ve walked through, this episode will help you:
✨ Identify the “red thread” that connects your story ✨ Understand the difference between healing and sharing ✨ Learn how to filter your story through a single, powerful message ✨ Recognize how transformation creates hope for others ✨ Practice selective vulnerability without shrinking your truth
I’m also sharing how I navigated my own boundaries around what to share (and what not to) after my dad passed away, and why clarity matters more than completeness when you speak from your heart.
Reflection Prompt:What’s the heart of what I want someone to walk away with? Take a walk, journal your thoughts, or just sit with that question today. One powerful message can leave a lasting impact.
Ready to go deeper?If you’re starting to see purpose and patterns in your story—and want to turn it into something that inspires, equips, and brings healing—my Speaker VIP Experience was designed for you.
