We’re so excited to share this past conversation with master storyteller, Joan Scheckel. Joan has a preternatural gift for story structure, emotional rhythm and throughline. At the core of everything she does is the theory that we can tell stories that heal, stories that are generated from connection, meaning, purpose and feeling, rather than from conflict.
