  <title>31. What's The Story You've Been Holding? with Dr. Xanthe Golenko</title>
  <description>  By the time you hit 50, you've lived enough life to fill a few books. But most of us don't think our stories are worth telling.   &amp;amp;nbsp;   In this episode, I talk with Dr. Xanthe Golenko about why that couldn't be further from the truth.   &amp;amp;nbsp;   Xanthe was a dancer in France, then a researcher studying older adults. When she introduced life story books into care homes, something magical happened ~ families reconnected, staff saw the whole person, and the storytellers themselves transformed.&amp;amp;nbsp; That's when she realized: storytelling isn't just about preserving the past. It's about connection, healing, and claiming your voice in the present.     We talk about:      Why your &amp;quot;everyday&amp;quot; moments are exactly what other women need to hear The power of telling your story in a safe space How to move from &amp;quot;I don't have a story&amp;quot; to sharing something deeply personal What would you do if you weren't afraid? Practical ways to start telling your story    &amp;amp;nbsp;   Your story doesn't need to be extraordinary to be powerful. It just needs to be yours.
