Memoir and Personal Mythmaking with Janelle Hardy

Dec 11, 2019

 

Have you ever thought about writing your story? I mean the story of you? Everyone has a story to tell, but not everyone is equipped to tell it. Is it time you told your story?

Join me on this episode as I chat with Janelle Hardy, a writer, artist, host of the Personal Mythmaking Podcast and the creator / teacher of a 5-month transformational memoir-writing course called, "The Art of Personal Mythmaking." Janelle teaches from a place in the heart, and she takes the whole woman into account. She believes that by slowing down, easing up and refusing to force anything, we create and grow with more ease and more speed. It's also her belief that transformation is possible, your life stories are worthy of attention, and you deserve to feel good in your body, mind and spirit. It's about more than writing; it's about creating.

Janelle and I talk about memoir writing, and she gives us an example of a body-based prompt that she uses with clients. We also discuss:

• The art of memoir writing and personal mythmaking.
• Why writing a memoir is a good vehicle for midlife women.
• The cathartic nature of memoir writing.
• Janelle’s approach to teaching.
• What she’s learned from working with women in this phase of life.
• And more…
