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_outlineWhen I think of the term “Force of Happiness”, I think of only one person -- LIGHTbeamers Community member and my good friend, Leanne Smith.
Leanne brings so much sunshine into our Community and her smile and laughter can brighten any dark day, but she’ll be the first to tell you she hasn’t always been the Force of Happiness that she is today.
So what made the difference? How did Leanne leave the hard, heavy, and dark world she used to be in behind, and get to this positive place where she really wanted to be?
Join me in today’s episode as I talk to Leanne and she shares with me:
- The one word Leanne was writing at the top of her journal for years that eventually led her to our Community!
- What it felt like living in dark times, being tied to an old version of herself and wanting to step into a new and brighter place -- and finding LIGHTbeamers at just the right time
- The transformation that happened when she looked at herself in the mirror -- this is a powerful story all by itself!
- How investing in this ONE THING led to her becoming a better version of herself.
- Why she has come to embrace vulnerability in sharing her story, and how it has helped her on her journey to real happiness
- How she’s incorporating storytelling in everything she is doing now, and the transformation it’s having on her life and business.
- Her advice to someone who’s about to get into the world of storytelling
Leanne’s story inspires us and gives us hope that the life we want for ourselves is possible. We need to make the choice to take our power back from the negative stories in our heads and instead, remember that there is beauty and happiness beyond the dark place we are in right now.
We only need to look at ourselves in the mirror and see that we can be a force of anything that’s good, if only we only allow our real selves to break through.
