I have always been an advocate for women using their voices and skills to make a big impact in the world. But so often, we get caught up in the drudgery that we forget what significant actions we should take to make our businesses, and our personal lives, thrive.

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?

“Wake up and be AMAZING!!”

I find it fascinating when I meet women who've turned their weaknesses into strengths, because their transformational stories are ones that inspire, encourage, & impact others in a big way.

Storytelling has always been an important part of our whole human experience. It’s how we connect with people, build relationships, and make sense of what is happening to us and around us.

And that is exactly what our next featured author from the LIGHTbeamers Author Program aims to do.
Julia Barton is a postpartum doula and Reiki master at Olive & Bloom. She’s new to the LIGHTbeamers Community, and came by way of the Author Program where she and I, plus 13 other women, are on a journey to discover our stories and share them with the world. And Julia’s story -- while uniquely her own -- will resonate with other women and I believe, will serve as a guiding light for so many.
Listen in on my conversation with Julia, as she and I talk about:
- The inside story of why she said yes the Author Program
- Her reason for wanting to become a postpartum doula AND at the same time, tell her story on postpartum depression
- The biggest lesson she wants to share with other women who are heading into pregnancy, going through it, or have already gone through childbirth
- Why she went the non-traditional route in dealing with postpartum depression
- Her experience in preparing her story for the book, and what she’s looking forward to when the book gets published
- The beautiful reasons why she named her business Olive & Bloom
We all have stories to tell, and sharing your story matters. Whether it’s to heal your own soul, or let someone know they’re not alone, telling your story is an important practice we should all be doing.
