LEARNINGS:
Can you share a personal story that influenced your storytelling journey?
I often tell the story of when I was 5.5 years old and my brother broke his leg while camping in a state park in northern Michigan.

How did you start practicing storytelling, and what was the first story you told?
I started by memorizing a story about a tiny teeny woman from my parents' book, which I later told my siblings and at a Girl Scout camp.

What advice do you have for aspiring storytellers who struggle with sharing personal stories that may have had hardships?
I suggest practicing the story until you are comfortable telling it, focusing on the message or lesson it conveys rather than the emotions it stirs up.

What is the critical takeaway for listeners who want to start their storytelling journey?
Read and practice a story until you know it well, then tell it to anyone who will listen. Find stories from your childhood or personal experiences and tell them as they are happening now.

Where can people find more information about your storytelling services and upcoming events?
For information on events, featured books, and courses, people can find me on Facebook at Rebecka Vigus or Rebecka Vigus, the Writer Whisper. I also offer a strategic coaching plan for storytelling.
