What happens when a dedicated high school educator decides to pivot into the world of life coaching and memoir writing? Join us as we explore the incredible transformation of Jamie Gartner, who left behind a 12-year teaching career to found Soul Script Coaching, a sanctuary for those looking to heal and share their stories through the art of writing. Jamie’s journey from the bustling classrooms of a diverse city school to the nurturing environment of her coaching practice adds layers of depth and insight to our conversation.
Struggling to find a therapist, Jamie stumbled upon life coach Jen Liddy, who would ultimately inspire her to pen her own memoir. Writing became a therapeutic outlet for Jamie, revealing the differences between traditional therapy and life coaching while underscoring the transformative power of storytelling. In our heartfelt discussion, Jamie outlines the initial steps of book coaching, emphasizing the crucial role of understanding the purpose behind writing a memoir. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to embark on their own healing journey through the written word.
Discover the unique method Jamie uses in her life coaching practice, encapsulated in the steps: identify, choose, challenge, change. We talk about the profound impact of sharing one's story, the authenticity required in memoir writing, and the satisfaction that comes from writing for personal fulfillment. Jamie's story is not just about her journey, but an invitation for you to begin yours. Tune in, be inspired, and learn how you can connect with Jamie for a free discovery call that might just change your life.

The world needs more kindness, more understanding, more empathy - and that often comes in stories! When you write your story, you are being a voice for someone who has been silenced. You are being a mentor for someone who has none. You are being an inspiration for someone who lost hope. You are being an example for those who didn’t understand. Your story is your kindness, your light, and your legacy. Share it!
