In this episode, James is joined by Sarah Frances McCormick—an accomplished writer, speaker, and storyteller based in Carolina.
Sarah Frances has built her work around honesty, vulnerability, and the belief that sharing personal experiences can spark connection, healing, and inspiration in others. Through her writing and public speaking, she explores life’s challenges with raw openness, transforming moments of struggle into stories of hope and resilience.
James describes Sarah Frances as “brave,” a word she fully embraces. She reflects on what bravery means to her—not as the absence of fear, but as the willingness to speak truthfully, even when it’s uncomfortable. Their conversation explores the power of storytelling, how lived experience can become a tool for empowering others, and why courage often looks quieter, and more personal, than we expect.
This episode is for listeners who appreciate authenticity, who value the art of storytelling, and who want to be reminded that sharing our truths can be one of the most powerful ways to inspire change.
