Description
Write Your Life Story
Do you have a story about your life that you are yearning to write?
Your story is important. It’s your life and it is your legacy.
Your story can be just for you, a healing story, a slice of life or self-help. Imagine passing your story down through the generations.
How to turn your life into a book, your memoir
Turning your life into a memoir is simpler than you think. In this course, I take you on a journey through your life, helping you to decide what slice of life you will share and then editing it so that it engages with your readers.
It can often be difficult to write your story as you meander back into your personal history. This is such a worthwhile venture. It brings clarity while being cathartic and it is always inspiring.
You don't have to have had a tough life to write a memoir, you can write yours to provide a legacy for future generations or you can just write it because you can.
You don't even have to publish it, but just imagine if you did, imagine giving your book to friends and family... Or lclients if you are using this to teach with.
Writing your memoir gives you truth and clarity.
It can be happy, sad, funny, scary, cutting or kind, but most of all, its about you, your life and your truth - the way you see and have experienced it.
Even if you think that all you have done is gone from birth to where you are now with nothing exciting to share, I would beg to differ. I bet there is much more to your life, than you give yourself credit for.
Memoir lets you share your stories, in a way that lets others see what you went through (good or not so good), shows who you are and says 'maybe I can help you, maybe you can learn from me."
Your memoir could be your story, you could write it because you need to heal, or you can turn it into a self help book, where you provide advice to others. Whichever you choose, this course will help you to plan it, write it, edit and get it self published.
The challenge is to get started. Let me take you on a journey that will make writing your memoir as stress free and easy as possible.

My Udemy courses
I adore working with inspirational, enthusiastic, energetic people with strong messages. People who want to make a difference. I would love to become part of your onward journey, the one that sees you finding your voice, becoming the best version of you and rocking that out to the world.
My passion is helping you to discover the stories inside of you, and help you to share these so that you can leave your legacy, heal, share your inspirational message, have fun, and have a life that really rocks.
I am an expert at getting your story out, and really finding the essence of what you want to say. And then saying it so that it is engaging and makes an impact.
I have a background in professional training, executive coaching and writing coaching and I additionally combine these skills to facilitate this journey.
So who am I?
I have been described in many ways - enthusiastic, high energy, inspirational, motivation and fun. I have also been described as beautifully eccentric, which I do indeed take as a compliment. What you get is what you see. What I want for you, is to own who you are and to share your gifts with the world.
In between drinking white tea, experimenting with recipes and walking the the loves of my life - Ferdy dog (RIP), Marley Moo & Angel, I can be found writing. And I do a bit of abstract arty stuff with wire and wool.
