Yes, your story matters.
And no, it doesn’t have to be life-changing to be powerful.
I’m sharing this post from @elladora_boutique as a storytelling example, not a comparison point.
This is a beautiful example of:
• voiceover + B-roll
• a clear emotional through-line
• a moment of reflection
• gratitude and connection
But here’s the important part 👇
Your story does not need to include cancer, trauma, or a massive life event to work online.
What does matter:
• a real moment
• a clear before/after or realization
• honesty over polish
• letting people see one slice of your journey
This format works just as well for:
• a business pivot
• a season of doubt
• a lesson learned the hard way
• a quiet win no one else saw
• a moment you almost quit
Voiceover + simple B-roll is one of the easiest, most human ways to share a glimpse of your story without over-explaining or oversharing.
Watch this through that lens: Not “Is my story big enough?” But “What moment could I share that helps someone feel less alone?”
That’s where great online storytelling actually starts 💛
