    Creativity Couch - Episode 7 - Staying True To Your Story

    · The Creativity Couch

    How do you stay true to your story when your story is also someone else’s? This episode unpacks the challenge of balancing telling your story in a way that is true to you whilst respecting the people who may also be a part of your narrative. Explored through the lens of memoir writing with published memoir author Michele Brown, we delve into confidentiality, authenticity, respect, permission and staying true to the story you need to share with the world.
