Say It Anyway: Sharing Your Story Boldly with Storyteller John Roedel

In this episode, I sit down with John Roedel for a conversation at the intersection of comedy, art, and storytelling. We explore what it means to claim your role as the bard of your own life—learning to trust your inner voice, move through the noise of self-doubt, and actually show up for the work (yes, “butt in chair” counts as a spiritual practice).We talk about creative confidence, silencing the inner gatekeeper, and the quiet shift from needing to be witnessed… to creating stories that become mirrors—spaces where others can see themselves and feel invited to share their own voice.If you’ve ever wrestled with your inner critic or wondered if your art is “good enough,” you're gonna love this guest.Maybe the most fearless thing we can do is stop trying to be liked, and just begin.You can follow John and his work here: johnroedel.comIf you feel the nudge to share your own story—whatever the medium—I’d love to hear from you.
