Telling Stories

Nicole Kelly / NK

NK is the creator of Divesting From People Pleasing and co-host of Bitchface alongside Phoebe Unter. In this episode we talk about witnessing stories and the beauty of surprising yourself. We also reflect on shame and how it can be explored through stories and perhaps lead us to a place of healing. If you want to explore how to make stories that will leave people laughing and crying at the same time- NK is a great person to take inspiration from. You can listen to the episode here.
