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?
This 12-week life story writing course is designed to be flexible to fit your schedule. Each week, we’ll release new video lessons, exercises, and writing prompts that build upon the previous material.
However, you’ll have lifetime access to all of the course content, so you can work through it at your own pace. The recommended time commitment is around 1-2 hours per week to watch the lessons and complete the writing assignments.
But the most important thing is to find a sustainable rhythm that works for you. Whether that’s carving out 30 minutes daily or dedicating a few hours on the weekends – the key is to make consistent progress, even if it’s in smaller chunks.
To support you along the way, you’ll also receive regular encouragement through our live Q&A sessions and email check-ins. These are opportunities to stay motivated, get feedback, and ensure you’re continuing to move forward on your life story writing journey at a pace that feels good.
The beauty of this course is that it’s yours to complete on your own schedule. With the lifetime access, you can revisit the material, revise your stories, and continue developing your writing skills long after the 12 weeks are up. The most important thing is that you engage with the process in a way that feels manageable and enjoyable for you.
