Storytelling Nonfiction Relationship Journeys

Our Storytelling Nonfiction Relationship Journey begins when we learn about personal growth and discover new ways to tell our own stories. In Aisling's book club, this journey started with "The Inner Game of Tennis" by Timothy Gallwey, which introduces two simple practices: "Self 1" - the critical inner voice that interferes with our natural abilities, and "Self 2" - our natural talents that emerge when we quieten those inner critics. Good storytelling isn't just about listing events that happened. It's about applying these practices to find patterns in our experiences that others can relate to. When we use these simple practices from nonfiction to structure our relationship stories, we help others see similar patterns in their own lives.
