I am digging deep into whole new veins of story. Pure gold.
I just want to say how beautiful your writing is throughout this course, especially in the lesson Emotional Biography. It’s like I can hear your voice urging me on.
Well thought-out lessons, excellent reading material (loved the selections), great methodology. I love the insightful personal reflections and notes, the helpful and motivating exercises, and the self-care and accountability support. Honest and vulnerable and inspiring.
