097 Storytelling as a Wellness Practice with Nicola Davison

Our guest today, Nicola Davison, is a mum, wife and journalist from New South Wales, Australia, who loves inspiring others to preserve their memories.  She is the owner of Forever Young Autobiographies.com- a website dedicated to helping people write their life stories so treasured memories endure for future generations.

After a decades-long career as a print journalist, Nicola now coaches others to plan, write, polish and publish their own life stories - big and small.  Practicing what she preaches, Nicola recently helped her 100-year-old grandmother finish her autobiography.

Here’s what we cover:

• The difference between memoir and autobiography;

• The elements of good storytelling;

• How writing can heal; and

• How storytelling can become a wellness practice.

We end this episode with our Dose of Inspiration segment, where Nicola shares some of the things that are lighting her up these days.
