Why your story matters
Ever listened to someone share personal experiences about their life and thought ‘Oh, someone else has been through that, too? I thought it was just me!' Sharing lived experiences with other people helps us connect with others and gain a deeper understanding about ourselves. Every story shared holds multiple bene?ts to the story sharer and the story listener.
