The idea behind the Life Story Interview project took shape during my PhD. I was exploring how individuals made sense of their learning experiences - not just through the numbers from quantitative surveys, but also through the qualitative stories they told about their lives. I was afforded the privilege to see firsthand how powerful it can be when someone has space to reflect on their story - in their own words, at their own pace.

​

Since then, I’ve adopted and adapted the Life Story Interview method from existing research frameworks, combining it with my own academic and personal lens. What emerged was a practice that honours lived experience and makes space for meaning-making.​

The process is simple but intentional.​

You might come to it at a turning point, during a transition, or simply because something in you is ready to be heard. Life Story Interview is not therapy, though many find it deeply reflective. My hope is that it creates a quiet space - not necessarily for answers, but for awareness. A space to notice what has shaped you, what matters to you, and how your story might guide what comes next.​
