The difference between an anecdote and a legacy lies in the depth of your story. Let me show you how to find yours.
Welcome! I’m Joanna Klein, and for over 40 years, I’ve helped people discover that their most powerful stories aren’t about their first car or their wedding day – they’re about the moments that shaped who they became and the wisdom they gained along the way.
In this intimate 12-week course, I’ll guide you beyond surface memories to uncover the true meaning in your experiences. Using a blend of proven storytelling techniques, reflective exercises, and supportive coaching, we’ll transform your memories into stories that resonate across generations.
Whether you’re an experienced writer or just beginning, you already have everything you need to create meaningful stories. I’m here to show you how to find the gold beneath the surface and bring it to light.
If you’re ready to discover the deeper stories within you and create a legacy that truly matters, I invite you to join me. Together, we’ll uncover the hidden gems in your life story.
Let’s Begin Your Journey of Discovery!
Why This Journey Is Unique
TRANSFORMATIVE APPROACH TO LIFE STORY WRITING
Bite-Sized, Powerful Learning
Short, focused video tutorials make learning feel effortless. Most lessons are just 2-7 minutes long, perfect for busy schedules. Spend about an hour a week engaging with the materials, and watch your stories naturally unfold. No overwhelm, no pressure – just steady progress that builds momentum.
The Story Weaver Framework
Our signature approach helps you see beyond surface memories to uncover the deeper meaning within your experiences. This isn’t about chronological timelines – it’s about discovering the threads of wisdom that weave through your life journey.
Writing That Flows Naturally
Forget everything you learned or heard about “proper” writing. Discover how to write in your authentic voice, making the process feel more like having a meaningful conversation than crafting a formal document.
Beyond Writing Techniques
While you’ll learn practical storytelling skills, our focus is on helping you see your experiences with new eyes. Discover how to find meaning in memories and share wisdom in ways that touch hearts.
Memory-Awakening Exercises
Simple journaling prompts that gently unlock forgotten memories and help you see familiar stories with fresh eyes. These exercises do more than spark memories – they help you understand why certain experiences shaped you and what wisdom they hold.
Modern Tools Made Simple
Use today’s technology to make writing easier without getting overwhelmed. Whether you prefer typing, talking, or dictating your stories, we’ll show you straightforward ways to capture your thoughts whenever inspiration strikes.
Journey at Your Own Pace
Lifetime access means you can revisit lessons whenever you need them. Your stories will continue to deepen and evolve – and we’ll be here to support that growth.
Guided Support When You Need It
Three live 90-minute Q&A sessions provide personal guidance and coaching throughout your journey. Get your questions answered and receive individualized feedback to keep your stories flowing.

Do any of these sound familiar?
You know your stories matter, but something holds you back. Perhaps you’ve been:
-
Waiting for the “right time” – You tell yourself you’ll write when life slows down. But deep down, you know – there’s never going to be a “perfect” time.
-
Searching for deeper stories – You can write about your first job, your first date, or a favorite vacation… but something’s missing. These memories feel more like anecdotes than meaningful stories. You know there’s more depth to uncover, but you’re not sure how to find it.
-
Wanting to share wisdom, not just events – You want your stories to offer more than just entertainment. You want to share the wisdom you’ve gained, the lessons you’ve learned, and the insights that could help others. But how do you do that in a way that resonates with others?
-
Feeling frustrated with tools that don’t help – You’ve tried journaling apps, writing software, or dictation tools – but they either feel too complicated or don’t help you get to the heart of your stories.
-
Feeling the urgency to leave a legacy – You feel time passing, and your stories remain untold. You want to capture them, not just for yourself, but for your family. You want to leave more than memories – you want to leave meaning.
If any of this resonates, you are not alone.
The desire to share our life stories grows stronger as we age, but the path to meaningful storytelling can feel unclear.
That’s why I created this course – to provide the guidance, support, and proven framework to help you move beyond surface memories to the real stories that matter.
Imagine having:
-
A clear path to transform memories into meaningful stories
-
Simple techniques to find depth without struggling
-
Support to keep you moving forward
-
Tools that make writing feel natural
-
A guide who understands this journey
That’s exactly what awaits you in our 12-week course, Uncover the Gems in Your Life Story.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can't make the live Q&A Sessions?
Not a problem! All sessions are recorded and available for you to watch at your convenience. You can also pre-submit questions ahead of time.
Do I need to be a skilled writer to participate?
Absolutely not. This course is designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re a seasoned writer or a complete beginner. The techniques and exercises I share will help you find your unique voice and tell your story in a way that feels natural to you.
I'm concerned about sharing personal stories. Is this course still for me?
I understand that writing about your life can feel vulnerable. That’s why creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space is my highest priority. You’ll never be pressured to share anything you’re not comfortable with. The focus is on writing for your own growth and healing first and foremost.
How much time will I need to dedicate to this course?
Each module has around five short but impactful video tutorials that average 3-7 minutes each. There are also memory-provoking writing assignments that complement the module’s theme. Altogether, you should be able to complete them in one hour/week.
The Q&A/Coaching sessions are typically around 90 minutes.
The amount of time you dedicate to writing is completely up to you. But we find that once you learn our writing framework, writing will feel like a treat instead of a task.
When does the course start?
The next cohort starts in Winter 2025.We don’t have an exact start date yet, but if you sign up for the waiting list, you’ll be notified as soon as registration opens.
What will I need for the live calls?

What do I need in order to view the course?

How does this program differ from Storyworth?
StoryWorld sends you questions to answer, and usually, they are questions that someone else has selected, yet may not be the stories in your heart that you want to tell. Journey to Legacy teaches you how to find those stories in your heart and transform them into powerful narratives that carry meaning. We intentionally avoid writing prompts that result in anecdotal stories and instead look for stories that reveal the wisdom and insights of your life journey.
How long will I have access to this course and writing platform?
You’ll have lifetime access to the course.
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.
