Storytelling Therapy and Life Coaching by Shelley Carney provides the viewer with a new experience in relaxation and meditation using our most basic human love of stories and a soothing, ASMR quality voice. Starting with quotes from the I Ching, Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, Oprah Winfrey, Stephen Covey, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Helen Keller, Amy Poehler, Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Collier and others, these integrated stories bring life coaching concepts into full use and help us to create a more fulfilling and joyful experience.

"The Voice of Encouragement" tells a story of a group of frogs who help each other through a difficult time and how one frog triumphs while another gives up. 

People who gather to share common problems and experiences associated with a particular problem, condition, illness, or personal circumstance are the most likely to overcome challenges and enjoy the journey. In a support group, people are able to talk with others who are like themselves, who truly understand what they're going through and can share the type of practical insights that can only come from firsthand experience.

When you announce your goals to others along with the steps you’ll take to achieve them, the social risk involved in failing can hold you more accountable to your plan. At the same time, when you achieve those steps and share that success with your support group, they cheer and further inspire you to reach for goals you would not have otherwise tried on your own.

If you're facing a stressful life change, you don't have to go it alone. Belonging to a support group who can provide guidance and assistance is a transformative vehicle for achieving your goals more quickly and easily. Growth and development in isolation is incredibly difficult, lonely and easy to quit. The bigger your goals, the more social support you will ultimately need to be successful.

Being coached with a group of your peers will take you to the next level of understanding and application of whatever you most want to work on. Many people feel intimidated to have a private coaching session because they're not really sure what to say or do.

When you are a part of a coaching group, there is less pressure. You don't have to prepare for the session, bring a topic or questions or be able to articulate anything. You have the opportunity to learn from others and to feel that you belong. You are not alone.

Group coaching is a very active, participatory situation where you receive tools and exercises, ask questions and go through processes together. So at the end of the session, you will have witnessed emotional growth in yourself, other members and the group as a whole.

A group coaching session is your opportunity to be yourself and know that is enough. Your coaching group will hold space without judgment and help you see your own thinking and how it affects your feelings, actions and results. Your coaching group can provide the friendship, support and love that surrounds you with the encouragement you need to finally succeed.
