“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
— Maya Angelou (1969)
Storytelling might emerge through our other work together. I may be able to help write-up your personal story with healing and remembrance in mind.
Whether you’re processing change, reflecting on life, or honouring someone’s memory, storytelling can be a powerful way to process experience and connect with others.
Through relaxed conversations, I can help capture your story, and also potentially speak to others (with permission) to include different perspectives and important context. I’ll then draft an article, working with you to ensure it feels right.
My motivation and experience
The need for something like this became apparent through two personal experiences.
Firstly, speaking with women affected by Pregnancy Associated Osteoporosis (PAO). Many shared stories of trauma, resilience, and medical neglect, and wanted to tell their story as part of the healing process, as well as to call for change, but weren’t always happy with the final outcome when they’d spoken to a journalist due to the news agenda framing the depth, angle and tone of the article.
Secondly, the loss of my step-mum Carol in May 2024. A few months before she passed, she suggested I write an article about her life. Though we didn’t manage it in time, that conversation made apparent that storytelling can be a way to honour life, express emotion, and create lasting meaning and connection.
