Learn How To Tell Your Story With Janelle Hardy | 026

The Experiential Podcast

Have you ever felt that deep, almost sacred call to tell your story? To bring forth the narratives that lie buried within the depths of your soul?

In today's episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Janelle Hardy, someone who truly understands the transformative power of writing. Janelle shared such profound wisdom on how writing can be more than just a creative outlet—it can be a journey into our untold stories, a path to deeper healing, and even alchemy for the soul. We explored how myths, fairy tales, and ancient stories have this incredible ability to mirror our own lives, guiding us to connect more deeply with our experiences. Janelle also offered some beautiful prompts that help us move past resistance, inviting us to work with our bodies as vessels of expression. I found myself so inspired, ready to pick up my pen and dive into the unexplored corners of my own story.

I hope you find this episode as moving and enlightening as I did. If you're feeling called to explore your inner world through writing, this conversation is a must-listen. Let me know what you uncover within yourself—I’d love to hear about your journey.
