Walking toward your story, together.
“I can tell you that on this path there will be help.”
Jan Richardson, “Beloved is Where We Begin”
Starting is the hardest part…you gave the kick in the butt I think we all need.

It was a very positive adventure….you created an environment which made it very easy…to talk about hard stuff.

If you've ever...
Wanted to record your life experiences or family memories, but not known where to start…​
Worried that your stories aren’t worth telling…or wondered why they matter…
Wandered off into the weeds of narrative possibilities and struggled to find your way through the morass…
I can walk with you toward your story.

Hello, fellow wanderer!
​
I’m Nicole C. Livengood.
I like to describe myself as a story sherpa.
I travel with people on their storytelling journeys whether it's crafting texts for blogs and newsletters or offering classes that nurture exploration and confidence to create and reflect. For example, I have designed church newsletters, ghostwritten a memoir ,and led classes and workshops on Haiku, Spiritual Autobiography, and writing about the body in transition.​
​
I haven't always been a story sherpa.​​ In 2024, I left behind an award-winning career in Higher Education because I felt the pull…the call…to find new, enlivening work for my hands and heart. To walk toward my own story, to find something…ineffable.
​
When I exited the academic career track for this new life, I wondered what I would discover. Each step along the winding trail has confirmed my direction and my heart: for working with the generations above me, those with chronic illnesses and invisible disabilities, people in transition, the soul weary, the spiritually seeking, the wondering, and the wandering.
​
I would love to accompany you in your own wanderings and wonderings. I would love to sherpa your story!
