The most powerful tool for connection and influence isn’t a fancy pitch deck, a perfectly rehearsed presentation, or even an impressive résumé—it’s your ability to tell a story. Kindra Hall is a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, award-winning storyteller and sought-after keynote speaker. Her books, Stories That Stick and Choose Your Story, Change Your Life, reveal how the stories we share—and the ones we tell ourselves—have the power to transform our lives. On this episode, we explore the four key elements of a compelling story and how you can use storytelling to build trust, inspire action, and reframe your inner narrative.

The holidays are often billed as the most wonderful time of the year, but let’s be real—they often come with stress, expectations, and an overwhelming to-do list. In this episode, I share some surprising stats about why so many of us feel relief, not joy, when the season is over. I open up about my own holiday mishaps (you’ll never believe what I used as a stocking stuffer!) and explore how we can approach the season differently. It’s all about JOMO—the Joy of Missing Out—and choosing to focus on what truly matters. Listen to this episode if you want to enter the new year feeling connected, fulfilled, and intentional.
