The Mid-Year Reset Your Storytelling Practice Might Need

Send us Fan MailBy this point in the year, storytelling can start to feel different.You’re still showing up to the interviews, the deadlines, the back and forth. But something begins to shift. A story lingers longer than you expect. A decision stays with you after it’s made. You start to notice the weight of the work in a way that’s harder to ignore.In this episode, I’ll explore with you what it means to arrive at that moment, not as something to fix, but as something to pay attention to.Together, we name the parts of storytelling that often go unspoken. The emotional load that builds over time. The tension between urgency and care. The quiet ways decision fatigue can shape how stories are gathered and shared.If your work has been feeling heavier lately, this conversation is an invitation to pause, reflect, and consider what a more supported, sustainable storytelling practice might look like from here.About Host Maria BryanMaria Bryan is a trauma-informed storytelling trainer.
