Telling Our Stories

In this episode, I sit down with Rusti Lehay and explore the healing power of telling our stories.  Rusti is a writing coach who offers keynotes, breakout sessions, webinars, weekend retreats (both destination & online), and daylong writing seminars. For over a decade she has been a creative writing instructor and writing coach/editor, specializing in bringing an empathic, heart-centered approach to coaching authors and beginning writers to craft and tweak their words, stories, and lessons. Using time-tested exercises, she shares how our experiences and events are our mirrors and best teachers.   Writers are encouraged to find and speak in their own voice to best serve their audience, not the editor. Working with writers is one of her greatest joys. Sometimes the audience is you as her key statement is “the pen is mightier than the therapist.” Driven by a passion for memoir and passing on stories, Rusti believes if you have lived and breathed, you have a story. The page is the most friendly place for reflection and self-examination. Rusti is often told, “You create such safety for anyone in your groups.” If you have lived and learned, you have the wisdom to share! Both as a writing & speaking coach, she believes the page and stage are waiting for you to appear. Someone is waiting to hear your journey and learn from your wisdom.   You can learn more about Rusti by going to her website: www.rustilehay.info   Check out any of the links below to access this and other episodes of the Finding Peace Podcast. https://open.spotify.com/show/0p6DK6fPPjHH0z911oCuUg https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1472700242 https://www.troyllove.com/thefindingpeacepodcast
