How to Tell Difficult Stories that NEED to Be Told Using Vulnerability, Storytelling, & Engagement

It has been said that “what’s in the way is the way.” For this reason, telling your most difficult and vulnerable stories can have healing and engaging effects beyond anything you might imagine.

In this episode of Video Mojo, I got to interview master coach & author, Andrea J. Lee and we had an intimate conversation about authenticity and vulnerability, including real life examples of what can happen when you tell the stories that NEED to be told. One example of this phenomenon is a 2-minute video that Andrea did for UpWorthy that got over 2 million views… without trying!

If you are interested in going deeper with your storytelling in order to make a more human connection with your audiences, don’t miss this.

In addition this “Collaborative Conversation,” every Video Mojo episode includes a quick commentary called “Tee It Up” and “Luscious Links” resource recommendations, as shown below.
