The Speak Up: Craft a new narrative ✨
Welcome to the Speak Up Newsletter. Part 5 of 5.
Pre-s: Here's the audio version of this email.
I hope you've enjoyed getting to know me and Tell Me A Story a bit more in these last five newsletter installments.

If you are looking for more, here's what I recommend:
If you are looking for things to read and listen to related to everything we've chatted about these past few weeks, check out the Resources page on the Tell Me A Story website.
If you are reading to craft a new narrative for yourself, I can help you in Tell Me A Story's signature two-month 1-on-1 program called the Crafting Your Narrative: Solo Retreat. I typically only work with two new clients at a time, so if you are interested in booking your retreat, I recommend scheduling a Next Steps call so that we can chat through your needs and goals and make sure this is the right investment for you.
I'll leave you with two parting gifts.
The first is an Apple Music playlist called Songs from The Speak Up Session. I've curated this playlist over the last handful of years and it includes songs that are great for both pumping you up and calming you down. And sometimes the same song can do both!
The second is this beautiful quote about the ongoingness of our stories and the power of crafting new ones.
"If you’re reading this, if there's air in your lungs on this November day, then there is still hope for you. Your story is still going. And maybe some things are true for all of us. Perhaps we all relate to pain. Perhaps we all relate to fear and loss and questions. And perhaps we all deserve to be honest, all deserve whatever help we need. Our stories are all so many things: Heavy and light. Beautiful and difficult. Hopeful and uncertain. But our stories aren't finished yet. There is still time, for things to heal and change and grow. There is still time to be surprised. We are still going, you and I. We are stories still going."
