Two Upcoming Workshops in Celebration of Step Out of Your Story’s 10th Anniversary

Ten years ago, New World Library published my first book Step Out of Your Story: Writing Exercises to Reframe and Transform Your Life. What began as a creative experiment has since become a decade-long journey exploring how writing can help us heal, transform, and reclaim our lives as meaningful stories.

Since it’s publication and launch at NYC’s Book Culture in 2015, Step Out of Your Story has been featured in Real Simple Magazine and received a 4.4 star rating on Amazon. I’ve also had the pleasure of leading Step Out of Your Story writing workshops at the 92nd Street Y, the JCC of Manhattan, the NY Open Center, Sivananda Yoga Ashram in the Bahamas, Vassar College, and other venues.

To celebrate this milestone, I’m excited to announce two upcoming workshops, one introducing a new way to explore writing with Internal Family Systems, and the other, rooted in the book itself.

Upcoming Workshops

Parts on a Page: Writing with Internal Family Systems , Wed. Oct. 15, 7 – 9 p.m. EST
- Discover how writing can bring your inner parts to life on the page.
- Through guided prompts and IFS-inspired reflection, you’ll meet your inner cast of characters, listen to their voices, and create more space for compassion, creativity, and healing in your story.
Step Out of Your Story: A 10-Year Anniversary Workshop, Sunday, Nov. 9, 2 – 5 p.m. EST
- Celebrate the anniversary of my book by engaging in perspective-shifting writing exercises designed to help you reimagine your personal narrative.
- Together, we’ll practice seeing ourselves as the heroes and heroines of our own works-in-progress, with the power to interpret, transform, and reclaim our stories.

Whether you’ve been following my work since Step Out of Your Story first came out, or are just beginning to explore narrative healing, I’d love for you to join me in celebrating this 10-year milestone. Both workshops are open to anyone curious about how writing can deepen self-understanding and bring fresh perspective to the story of your life. If you prefer a self-paced course, you can also check out my online writing courses, Compassion Bootcamp: A Wriiting Journey to Self Love and Reframing Your Narrative About Challenging Relationships, by clicking on the links below.

Thanks again for your all your appreciation and support on this extraordinary journey.

Step Out of Your Breast Cancer Story

A Journey of Healing, Meaning, and Renewal

Every life is an unfolding story — a sacred, ever-evolving narrative that only we can interpret. For breast cancer survivors, one of the greatest challenges is making sense of the profound physical, emotional, and spiritual changes that accompany diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. How we understand and tell our story shapes how we feel about it — and can even influence how it continues to unfold.

Offered in partnership with the Northern Dutchess Hospital Survivorship Program, this 4-week group provides a supportive space for breast cancer survivors to reflect, share, and rediscover their personal story as one of courage, growth, and transformation.

Together, we’ll explore how the difficult chapters of our lives can reveal hidden strengths, wisdom, and renewed purpose. Through guided reflection, group connection, and gentle journaling prompts (optional), participants will begin to integrate the challenges and insights of survivorship — and envision the next chapter of their lives with clarity and compassion.

Program Highlights

Participants will:

Reframe painful or self-limiting stories into narratives that honor resilience, grief, and growth.

Discover inner resources and voices of courage, wisdom, and self-compassion.

Integrate the emotional and spiritual lessons of survivorship in community with others who “get it.”

Reclaim authorship of their story and identity beyond “breast cancer survivor.”

Envision a thriving future self and a life grounded in meaning.

Presented in collaboration with the Northern Dutchess Hospital Survivorship Program as part of the hospital’s Light the Village Pink initiative for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
