The Healing Journey of Stories EP: 062
The Inside Story Podcast with April Adams Pertuis
Storytelling is a powerful tool. When done with intention and purpose, telling your story can help you heal from past traumas, hurts, and experiences you'd rather forget. It allows you to release the feelings and energy associated with an experience. And it lets you move out of that space of isolation, which we retreat to when we keep our stories to ourselves. But how do you begin this process and journey of healing? Where do you start? How do you even identify what stories you need to tell for you to heal?

Writers Write, Speakers Speak EP: 058
The Inside Story Podcast with April Adams Pertuis
Have you ever wanted to become a speaker? A writer? Where are you on your journey to becoming the speaker or writer you’ve always wanted to be? Have you even taken the first step to fulfilling your dream?
info_outlineClutter is defined as “a collection of things lying about in an untidy mass.” But lately, with all the talk on minimalism and doing away with excess stuff, we’ve come to realize that clutter is more than just the physical and tangible things.
On today’s episode of The Inside Story Podcast, I talk to certified health and wellness coach Heather Aardema about decluttering and focusing on “finding the more in less”.
My conversation with Heather is so enlightening, and I invite you to join us as she shares:
- How she went from being a self-professed maximalist to a proud minimalist
- What minimalism means to her, and how it relates to being intentional and paying attention to the more important things
- Her decision to leave the corporate world to become a health coach, and serve those who wish to live light both physically and emotionally
- Her favorite quote from Joseph Campbell that is so, so good!! (Hint: it speaks of Stepping into your Brave!)
- How our surroundings heavily influence our actions and decisions
- How her FOMO shifted to JOMO and the way it has transformed her life
We gain so much by living simply and only taking on what is important to us and our purpose. And when we shed what is cluttering our minds and our bodies, we find peace, contentment, even freedom. These three are pretty much everyone’s goals -- so isn’t minimalism worth a shot?
It’s never too late to start.
