Have you ever felt the tug of an untold story, whispering for years in the back of your mind? Last year, I left my 30-year corporate career (including 8 years of full time travel!) to answer that call, plunging into a new life of storytelling. This article chronicles my journey from a burnt-out professional to an impassioned author, bringing to life the harrowing adventures of my grandfather, Bruno, who survived a Siberian work camp during World War II. As I navigated this transformation, my husband and I faced significant challenges and learned to embrace vulnerability and seek support. This isn't just about my journey—it's about the power of family stories, the support of community, and the exhilarating freedom of new beginnings. Join me in exploring how historical lessons can illuminate our present and help us craft better futures. Dive into my world of storytelling and perhaps find the inspiration to embark on your own new chapter.
