You’ll hear from some of the best storytellers in the world and from aspiring writers like you who are still in the midst of uncovering what their story is all about. I’m your host, Allison Fallon and I’m not only a bestselling author myself, I’ve helped thousands of authors and aspiring authors write and publish their books. But I’ve also done what I’m asking you to do: I’ve taken a story from my life and put it to paper. What I learned is that one of the most powerful and healing things you can do is to write your story. Come with me on a journey to turn the “regular” stories from your life into interesting and entertaining anecdotes you can share on any occasion. Use your story to crush a toast at a wedding, deliver an inspirational message to your team of employees, or even to write a bestselling book.

MOLLY STILLMAN: How to Show Up on the Page (Despite Your Critics)

On today’s episode, I talk to author Molly Stillman about her debut book, If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry and about how she learned to be fully herself on the page, despite what anybody else thinks.

The Cost of Clarity
We ask for clarity, we say we want clarity, but when clarity tries to come, we also resist it. One of the reasons that clarity seems to elude us is that clarity is incredibly expensive. In today's episode, I’ll talk about what clarity costs us. What would you have to let go of in your life in order to find the clarity you’ve been craving?

How to Tell the Truth While “Staying Positive”
Do you sometimes feel the tension between telling the truth about what happened to you and staying “positive”? Or maybe you’ve given up on staying positive altogether since your story includes tragedy or despair. In this episode, I come at this question head-on. I share an experience from my childhood that I’ve never talked about publicly before and discuss how I personally have used a tool like writing to tell the story the true way, without letting it crush me.
NOTE: This episode includes explicit language and also topics not suitable for children, specifically childhood sexual abuse. Keep this in mind if you are feeling too sensitive for that topic today or if you have little ears nearby.
