Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Why Should I Share My Life Story?
Sharing your life story can be a powerful way to connect with others and leave a lasting legacy. By taking the time to reflect on your experiences and share your wisdom, you can inspire and uplift those around you. Our courses provide a supportive environment for you to explore your past and discover the valuable lessons you have to offer.
Is the life story writing program simply a bunch of general writing prompts?
No. Thought and memory-provoking, the prompts we provide are meant to take you deeper into your memories and experiences where breakthroughs and healing take place. You’ll also have 12 weeks of video sessions which offer guided journaling exercises and visualizations to further explore the experiences that shaped you.
What if I can’t remember much from my past?
That’s a common concern and we understand why. The coaching and prompts we provide are delivered in a way that jogs your memory and helps you explore the past in a gentle, safe way.
Do I have to be a good writer?
No. You do not have to be an experienced writer or worry about getting it “right” when it comes to punctuation, spelling or grammar. The prompts, guided visualizations and workbook make it easy and inspiring to write. Our intuitive writing software makes it easy to title, edit and organize your stories for a cohesive and memorable ebook.
How much of my time will this take?
To get the best benefits from our courses, we recommend that you dedicate at least 1-2 hours a week to write and/or do the stimulating and thought-provoking class assignment.
What if I don’t think I have anything worthy or exciting to write about?
I hear this often, and I want you to know that we all have stories! We have all experienced joy and pain. We have gained wisdom and lived through history in the making. Journey to Legacy will help you find your voice and realize you have so much wisdom to share! Your life is full of golden nuggets of wisdom and inspiration! Being asked the right questions and then guided more deeply into those questions, you’ll find you have a remarkable history and story to share.
Why do you require an application to join?
What happens if I get stuck after I sign up?
If you join Journey to Legacy and get stuck at any point in this process, you will have all the support and guidance from our team to ensure you move past any obstacles or technical issues you encounter.
What if I’m not sure anyone will read my life story?
This is a common worry for many life story writers. The truth is you’ll never know unless you write your story. However, using a unique method to recall those key moments in your life that shaped you often results in surprising revelations and wisdom that impacts others when shared.
What if I’m worried others will judge me once they read what I’ve been through?
We’ll help you find ways to share truthfully (so that loved ones can really know you), and you remain in complete control of what you share.
What if my past is too painful?
As a counselor and intuitive coach, I know how difficult it is to experience and recall painful memories. Although I will gently guide you, I do not push or pressure you to go beyond what is comfortable or feels right for you. I’ll help you make peace with some of the most challenging moments of your past and celebrate your strength and ability to rise above. You’ll also have a safe and compassionate community of other life story writers to lean on throughout this journey.
What should I consider when choosing among the three course options?
Being honest about what you need to be successful is critical. If you are self-motivated and have a strong desire to explore your past without a community of support, the Life Story writing course is right for you. If you want the support and inspiration from other life story writers and desire private coaching in addition, our Memoir course is the best option. If you don’t want to write your stories but want to understand your past in a way that will help inform your future, our Life Review course is for you.
What is your refund policy?
If you participate fully in the course and find that it isn’t a good fit for you, simply reach out within 7 days after the first session, and we’ll issue you a full refund.
What if I’m not ready but want to learn more about how this process works?
We recommend starting with our free downloadable guide so you get a feel of what’s involved and the process of life story writing. You can also schedule a call to ask any questions you have.
