In this episode, I sit down with my writing coach and long-lost cousin, Alan Watt, to explore the art of storytelling. Alan is an award-winning novelist and best selling author of Diamond Dogs and Days Are Gone and the creator of L.A. Writer's Lab.
In our conversation, he shares powerful insights on the process of writing your own memoir and embracing your authentic voice. We dive into the true purpose of storytelling: to reveal transformation and connect to the deeper truths of our human experience.
We talk about letting go of the result, writing for yourself, and how our creative work is ultimately a reflection of our spiritual growth. Alan reminds us that storytelling is truly about self-love and that the fears we face when writing our memoir are exactly what make us qualified to tell our stories.
If you’ve ever felt called to put your story on paper but find yourself holding back, this episode will inspire you to pick up the pen, face your fears with kindness, and start writing for the joy of the process. Because everybody has a story to tell—and it may be time to tell yours.
