Thanks for sharing your stories and helping us to think differently about Storytelling. I have been feeling lately the how powerful a good story can be but I hadn’t really connected that it was happening neurologically. More food for thought and reflection.
My favorite video of yours, thank you!!
What you have pointed out resonates so much with our lives these days! Lessons learned, struggles, celebrations, beauty in everyday life. Thank you so much for presenting story telling and memoir through a scrapbooking (memory-keeping) lense. It’s such a heartfelt community!!
Ali I really look forward to your Friday videos. Thanks for all your inspiration. This was a great source of information
This was so thought provoking. I’m scrapping a page on my son right now. From your discussion I started thinking in more depth about the story. My, how the story grew, and I realized from how many aspects I could tell it. Thank you.
When I try to tell a story from someone else’s point of view, the one I find flows the easiest is from my cat. LOL I need to think about what that means. LOL
I’m so glad that you chose the path you did Ali! Your Craft the Story series has REALLY been getting the juices flowing and motivating me to start scrapbooking again! I started years ago with a house full of young children, and quickly became overwhelmed. Now that I’m a grandma, and have lived through the loss of family members and friends, my perspective has changed a lot. I missed the boat on making scrapbooks to help my own children to enjoy as they grew up, and to help them feel good about themselves. But now that I feel like the story is almost more important than the photos, I no longer feel the need to scrap every.single.photo., like I did before. Thanks Ali for shifting my perspective and helping me feel like this is finally a project that is workable for me. I think my children and grands will actually benefit more from this, and will get to know me better as well.
Thank you. For my eyes are wet, and I now will have to discover why.

Absolutely fascinating! I can 100% believe that it can bond, as it has done that in our family! We have some wonderful storytellers.
So thankful that you share from the heart...I have followed you on social media for years and taken many of your classes. Your ability to tell the stories of your life-as you share what is real, you also find what is there to celebrate-has always been an inspiration to me. Love this message and hearing about the science behind storytelling. Walking away further inspired to try to get past just the facts and the photo and get to the heart and the feelings of my stories. Thank you again for the encouragement 😊
Wow Ali! This really spoke to me. I love how you addressed the importance of just telling the story the way it happened and not what we want people to see. The other thing that makes me want to "shift" is celebrating my family. Not just document but tell the story...so much to think about before I work in my scrapbooks and journals...thank you
Fascinating! Now I need to think and dwell on your words and the meaning of them. Thank you Ali, it was an awesome teaching ♥️
What a fabulous video Ali. I can so relate to all your comments, as well as to those who have commented here. When I see pictures that I've gotten from my grandparents and parents they're just pictures (NONE are in books of any kind). I would LOVE to know the stories behind some of those old photos. I have plenty of photos in scrapbook pages that just include a name(s) and date, but others that have stories behind them.
I know a lot of people might think this is weird, but I'm about to embark on stories of family members who are now deceased. I want to tell the stories of what I remember about them before those memories are lost forever. I am the only person who can tell the story of what those people meant to me. Your comments today will greatly help me with this endeavor.
I also have a son with Down syndrome (he'll be 42 on the 28th) WOW!! There are some days when I just want to hug him and other days when I want to take a break. His story (from my eyes) needs to be told and I do that a lot, but I need to write about his accomplishments too...I'm not sure if I do that enough.
Anyway, thank you for this most informative and thought provoking video. I loved it and I agree with others that this is the best so far!
One more thing...and this is something that really bugs me - not on this topic. IF people leave a 'thumbs down' they should be required to leave a comment about what they didn't like before their selection is validated. I don't make videos of any kind and I seriously don't understand why people feel the need to do so. It really does bother me and I for one would like to understand WHY they do that.
Thanks for the view ❤️
What a great episode! Thanks Ali!!
NeuroScrap. Fantastic. As a person who has studied the brain from the viewpoint of anatomical impairments on our speech and hearing mechanisms... I had yet to glean this information, specifically, with regard to storytelling. You've opened up a most welcome can of worms, here. Thank you ~~
Love all of this Ali and agree with you 100%! Stories that come from the heart really do have the power to heal and nurture us too.
I think, when you tell a story from the heart it helps people who read it - understand what you care about. The story tells what made your emotions come to the surface. What was surprising to you, unsettling, upsetting. What did you celebrate or where did you find relief. I have a story about driving through the desert where there was one gas station and no cell phone or navigation (like Mapquest) for 150 miles. That means, there’s no one to call for a heart attack. We found relief when we rolled into a city. It tells how I care about safety.
Facts in a story help your readers’ mind from wandering. If I say I planted seeds, a reader begins wandering around, did I plant a crop? What kind of seeds? Melon seeds? But when I add some facts, I planted zinnias - it helps the reader not wander (nor wonder) what were the seeds. It gives them a firm footing in my story. Then they can move on through the story.
This is very interesting. Thank you for the info. I am going to research this to find out more.
This was fascinating! I think I'm definitely going to change my intent for telling stories!
Great share, Ali! Thank you!
So interesting because I went to collage for biology and changed to Art History!!!
I have been SO inspired by this topic recently and am beyond excited to hear it from your lens! Brené Brown’s Rising Strong had a section on this and I was absolutely geeking out! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this!!
There’s a book called “The Science of Storytelling” by Will Storr that I really enjoyed, and I think you would too.
Adds to my cart + checks out immediately! Thank you!
Ooh I want to read this, thank you for the recommendation!
