In this episode of Ask and Answered by Soul, Jennifer Urezzio sits down with Deborah Keevan, founder of Highlander Press, bestselling author, and champion for women’s voices, to discuss the power of sharing your story unapologetically.
Together, they explore why storytelling begins with creating safety within yourself and how writing—or even speaking—your story can be a profound healing tool. Deborah shares that many people believe their stories aren’t important enough to tell, when in reality, our experiences often become the very thing that helps others feel seen, understood, and less alone.
Jennifer and Deb discuss how our past experiences, pain, and perceptions shape the stories we tell ourselves, and how revisiting those stories from a healed perspective can reveal new truths, gifts, and Wisdom. They also offer practical advice for aspiring writers, including letting the first draft be messy, using voice-to-text tools, and focusing less on perfection and more on authenticity.
The conversation ultimately reminds us that our stories are not just about us—they are invitations. Invitations for others to heal, connect, and recognize that they are not walking this journey alone.
