Here's the thing nobody tells you: becoming a storyteller isn't about having the right stories. It's about becoming someone who tells them. In Part Two, Sally digs into the identity shift, the self-doubt, and the powerful act of choosing to own your voice — even when it feels vulnerable, even when it feels hard.

I'M BAAAAACK! Yes, after over THREE YEARS of quiet on this feed, I'm back with episode 359 (?!!!) — and I need to be honest with you: this is not a simple continuation of the conversation we left off on episode 358. No, no. Three years have passed. The world has changed. I've written an (instant!) best-selling book called Speaking Story. My business has grown considerably. And the world... is a LOT right now. Like so many of us — a lot has changed. Myself included. So I'm back, and we continue in the grand tradition of all good things — with the next iteration of This Moved Me. Over the coming months, this feed is the place where I'll be sharing the FREE audiobook version of Speaking Story — along with some extra context and fun bonuses. YAY! Who's excited?! I am! I hope you are too.
