Description

In this powerful and moving episode of Inside Personal Growth, Greg Voisen welcomes back Dr. Rick Stevenson—filmmaker, philanthropist, and creator of the 5000 Days Project—to explore the deep healing potential of storytelling. Drawing from his groundbreaking book, How to Be a Personal Story Mentor, Rick shares how personal narratives hold the key to emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and human connection.

Listeners will discover how Rick’s StoryQ Method and verbal journaling unlock what he calls the "emotional immune system"—a vital part of our mental health. Through real-life stories, Rick explains how naming our experiences gives us power over them and why every person’s story—no matter how ordinary it may seem—is a legacy worth preserving. From childhood trauma to the grief of losing loved ones, Rick reminds us: “You own nothing more valuable than your story.”

Whether you're a parent, educator, leader, or simply someone seeking clarity, this episode will help you understand your story as your roadmap to purpose and wholeness.
