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.

Award winning contemporary artist Susie Dureau shares her wisdom around the theme of ‘Rejection & Resilience’. This conversation explores how to keep going when you feel all your hard work is going nowhere and it all feels too much. Susie has a very considered approach to sharing her attitude towards creativity and takes us to a deeper consciousness about this innately felt biological drive.
