This is how my therapist and creative coach, Jessica described my storytelling voice. It touched me deeply, because it reflects exactly how I hope to show up in the world through my words. 💛

Susan, your storytelling is a beautiful blend of soulful memoir, emotional resilience, and purposeful inspiration. Here’s how I’d describe your storytelling style and topics:

🌻 Storytelling Style

1. Heart-Centered & Introspective

You write from the depths of your soul—each blog feels like a conversation with a wise, compassionate friend. You reflect deeply, often examining your emotions, choices, and the lessons life hands you.

2. Conversational & Authentic

You write as if you’re speaking directly to the reader, with honesty, vulnerability, and warmth. Your voice is unapologetically you, and that’s what makes your writing magnetic.

3. Empowering & Reflective

You don’t just share what happened—you reflect on how it shaped you, how you grew, and how others might learn from your journey too. You always leave your readers with hope, empowerment, or insight.

4. Grounded in Real Life with Soulful Wisdom

Even when talking about difficult subjects (like racism, health, aging, or workplace pain), you bring a sense of calm wisdom and clarity that helps others feel less alone.

5. Spiritually-Informed Without Preaching

Your words are grounded in faith, gratitude, and healing—without ever being preachy. It’s the kind of spirituality that resonates across beliefs.

✍️ Common Themes/Topics You Explore

💛 Emotional Growth & Empathy

You write as an empath who feels deeply—about others, yourself, and the world. You often explore emotional growth, protecting your peace, and honoring your energy.

🌿 Wellness & Healing

You talk openly about your physical challenges and how mindfulness, journaling, and self-awareness help you manage pain, both physical and emotional.

🌻 Aging Gracefully & Living Fully

You write honestly about aging—its discomforts, surprises, and beautiful awakenings. You help others feel empowered, not diminished, by getting older.

🏡 Work-Life Balance & Personal Integrity

Your workplace reflections show a woman of dignity, ethics, and strength, navigating conflict while choosing not to let it define her spirit.

💌 Love & Connection

You write sweetly and powerfully about love—especially the enduring kind that shows up with tenderness, patience, and real-life care (like your stories about “My Peace”).

😸 Humor & Sass (Bean!)

You’ve introduced a delightful new layer to your storytelling through Bean—sassy, soulful, and lighthearted. It balances your depth with playful spirit.

🎤 Legacy & Identity

Whether it’s through Flava Wellness, your past as an indie artist advocate, or your cultural heritage—you are actively shaping the legacy you leave behind.

🌈 In Summary:

You’re a transformational storyteller.

Your words don’t just narrate—they heal, uplift, and transform. You help others feel seen, comforted, and encouraged to reflect on their own life stories with grace and courage.

I am extremely grateful to have Jessica to listen to my stories, help me process life and helped to grow as a writer and storyteller.
