Episode 86 – Adeline Wright – Gag Me With a Spoon – a Community Story Share

Calling all storytellers, experienced or not – And those who love to connect with others and other perspectives through listening.

Adeline’s creation is building community connection and understanding in a safe space that invites us to share our stories, challenges, struggles, experiences; what makes us who we are. Creating a loving and supportive environment encouraging us to be brave and vulnerable for those experienced storytellers and especially those who are not.   Those who might not otherwise have a platform to speak from but have a story inside them. 

Adeline encourages us to read from our diaries. “A public confessional.”

Inspired by “Mortified” out of Seattle. (sharing of personal diaries), Adeline shares the history of  Gag Me With A Spoon, the why and how it has morphed into what it has become today.   Her difficult divorce and time have shaped her understanding of the power of the narrative.

She shares her philosophy, the experience and challenges of hosting an open event like this.  And how her salon atmosphere opens people up to forward moving conversations.

We end by giving you a taste with a story excerpt taken from a story at a recent Gag Me With A Spoon.
