A podcast where five words change your life and how you see it.
Storyteller Hillary Rea has led thousands of people through her signature exercise, The Five Word Life Story. Whether it was in a conference breakout room, during an interview on someone else’s podcast, or via her transformative 1-on-1 Crafting Your Narrative programs, Hillary witnessed the power of this exercise to change someone’s life and the stories they choose to tell other people about it. This exercise heals old wounds and invites people to take their power back so that they can show up, take up space, and use their voice in an expansive way. Each guest (actors, writers, influencers, reality television stars, fellow podcasters, and those who have endured tough edits in the public eye) goes through the Five Word Life Story exercise with Hillary’s guidance and the conversation continues based on the words that emerge.
