Synopsis
Story U Talk Radio grew out of Debby Handrichs desire to bring listeners and authors together over the topics of writing, spirituality and transformation. Each week, Story U inspires an inquiry of the stories we live by, such as our love stories, our financial stories, family stories, and personal awakening stories. So much of the conversation is about discovering the real YOU in order to live peacefully and, just maybe, to pick up the pen and write your book.

You are Many Characters - Which one is Writing Your Story?
13/06/2025 Duration: 51minAs you set out to write your personal blog, speech, article, or even a book, It's important to ground yourself in your present character so you can objectively look to your history and share it without reliving the past. Some emotions may come up - and that's quite natural - but you are no longer that character of your past. Today's show will help you see the contrast between who you are today - intelligent, successful, articulate - and the character you once identified as, whether you were a rebel, an explorer, a wander, a maiden, an artist, or any other type.Coach Debby offers classes for all levels of writers.
