What is the Own Your Story Workshop?
Your Story Isn't Just Your History
Most women think their story just happens to them. And you might think that too, especially since my hunch is you didn't choose to be a special needs mom. Over here we believe stories shape beliefs, create change and lead to action.
Why story-crafting?
Your story is not a thing of the past--it's a live and breathing thing, unfolding and being molded every moment. Story crafting is not just writing down what happened, it's telling your story in a way that opens up the possibility of your future. It's connecting to who you've been, what you've experienced and touching it all with love, compassion and maybe even some pride.
Learning to write, tell and live your story will be the focus of the workshop. Own Your Story workshop is an invitation to re-story what's happened in your life. It's common for the experience to be healing and for you to leave feeling empowered.
What will we do in the workshop?
This three hour workshop will be broken up into three parts. Part I will equip you with some functional tools that help in story-crafting. Part II will transition towards extracting and mapping your own story. We'll guide you the whole way through. Part III you'll have independent opportunity to craft (aka write on paper) your story. Then you will be invited to dictate your story via a voice recording with the option of having it included in a special episode of The Special Needs Mom Podcast.
After the Workshop
You will leave feeling seen, heard, connected and with a new sense of ownership and acknowledgement of who you are. Most of all, you will love yourself more deeply.
This workshop is for you if...........
+ you feel stuck and destined to feel stuck forever.
+ can't picture your future in a way that you like.
+ you feel alone and like nobody can understand.
+ feel broken or unable to carry the burden you have.
+ doing this scares you a little.
