Unwritten You: Rediscovering Our Unstoried Selves

We are two dear friends, Deneen & Deli, who believe in the power of saying our stories out loud -- from the painful to the joyful -- so that we can write new stories of life from open and strong hearts. Until we know and accept exactly where we are, we cannot know where we are headed. This podcast is unscripted and unwritten with an unknown destination.This is a podcast about possibilities. How do we take all that has happened to us and write the next chapter, sentence or letter today from a place of joy? Two friends tell stories, invite conversations and share "joygasms." Tune in for inspiration and laughter.

Prompt by Jena Schwartz (writer & writing coach)
From her manuscript: Fierce Encouragement: Book of Prompts
Courage
"This is what we do for a living - we dance with the Resistance, we do not make it go away. You cannot make it go away - you cannot make the voice go away, you cannot make the fear go away, because it is built in. What you can do is when it shows up, you say 'Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Let's dance about this.'"
Seth Godin

Your Writing Prompt: Tell me what was brave. Start your freewrite with these words: "It was brave of me to..." Or write about a time when you felt the fear and did it anyway.
