Tonight I had the privilege of basking in the presence of “a good woman to know,” storyteller Michaela Murphy. These are the points that stood out to me:
- Sometimes you have to wait 31 years for a story to resolve.
- Stories are interactive. The more you avail yourself to your audience and what they are telling you, the better the story will be.
- If you don’t know where to start, try this one of these: Start with yourself. What scares you? What’s something you don’t understand about yourself?
- Relax. Enjoy. Don’t worry. Worry is like a chew toy in your mind that you use to distract yourself.
How can you use Michaela’s wisdom to better present your story?

“Sometimes you have to wait 31 years for a story to resolve.”
That is awesome. In our “always on” culture, it’s good to be reminded that some things take time.
You’re right, Brandie. When you think about it, some of the very best things, like cheese and wine, take a whole lot of time.
