This week I am joined by Dr. Diane Millis for a conversation about the power of telling more life-giving stories. As Diane says, the nature of our lives is narrative. We are inherent story-tellers, but all of us have stories that we live in that don’t serve us well. Diane shares her own experience of learning to tell more expansive stories, how that has shaped her knowledge of the holy, and offers tools to explore and expand the narratives we live within.
For three decades, Diane has had the privilege of serving as a midwife for others as they give voice to the vast array of stories inside of them. She has taught and advised undergraduate and graduate students; consulted and coached in a wide array of sectors; facilitated retreats and led workshops; produced the video series, “Lives Explored;” and ministered as a spiritual director. Through this, Diane observes, listens, and inquires as participants learn how to tell their most life-giving stories.
I hope you enjoy this conversation, as Diane teaches us to see how our brokenness is an invitation to greater truth, beauty, and goodness in our lives.
