Why the Stories You Feel in Your Body Are the Ones Your Audience Remembers

Not too long ago, I was listening to a professional storyteller tell some stories. It was not in way “that was nice” —but in a way that felt alive.

The stories had texture. Movement. Breath. I didn’t just hear them. I felt them connect—land.

And somewhere in the middle to end of listening, I had fallen in love with those stories.

Not with the idea of them. Not with the craft alone. But with the way they were told. With how fully embodied they were. With how naturally they moved from the storyteller into the room.

That connection changed everything.

Because afterward—without trying, without studying, without rehearsing—I could retell those stories with ease. The details were there. The arc was there. The feeling of joy was there.

They stayed with me.

And that’s when the real insight clicked.

When a story truly lands, it doesn’t live in your head—it lives in your body and heart.

We tend to think memory comes from repetition. From effort. From discipline.

But that experience reminded me of something far more accurate:

We remember what we love.

When there’s genuine connection—when a story resonates emotionally—it imprints itself. No forcing required. No scripts required. It becomes part of you.

And once it’s part of you, sharing it becomes natural.

This matters deeply for the way we tell stories in our businesses.

Because most practitioners I work with don’t struggle because they lack stories.

They struggle because they’re trying to tell stories they don’t feel connected to.

Love is the missing ingredient in most business storytelling

In business, we’re taught to “get our story right.”

To polish it.
To structure it.
To refine it until it sounds impressive, professional, strategic.

But here’s the quiet truth I see over and over again:

The stories that stick—the ones people remember, repeat, and feel—aren’t the most polished.

They’re the ones the storyteller genuinely loves.

Love is what anchors a story in your nervous system.

It’s what makes it easy to recall.
Easy to share.
Easy to transmit without distortion.

When you love a story, you don’t need to remember it.

You become it.

And that’s exactly what your audience feels.

What this means for your marketing and visibility

As a holistic health practitioner and energy healer, you have many stories available to you.

Your origin story.
Stories about how you help people.
Moments that changed the way you see your work.
Client transformations.
Teaching stories that reveal your perspective. The list goes on…

But here’s where things often go sideways.

Instead of choosing the stories that feel alive, most people choose the stories they think they should tell.

The ones that sound marketable.
The ones that fit a formula.
The ones that feel “appropriate.”

And then they wonder why:

• Their message is not landing

• Their content feels heavy instead of fluid

If you don’t feel something when you tell a story, your audience won’t either.

Connection always precedes clarity.

Why repetition works—when the story is alive

This also explains something else many people resist: repeating their story.

We’re often afraid of sounding repetitive. Of saying the same thing again and again.

But think about children.

They never get tired of hearing the same story.
They ask for it again.
And again.
And again.

Why?

Because the story meets them differently each time.

I think about this often when I reflect on how certain mentors in my life told their origin stories—over and over—without losing their power.

Even when their life experience was different from mine.
Even when they came from another generation.
Another background.
Another path.

The emotional truth made it relatable.

That’s what powerful stories do.
They don’t just belong to the storyteller.
They become something the listener can step into.

That’s how a story becomes shared identity—not just information

An invitation: choose the stories you love

So here’s the invitation I want to leave you with.

Stop asking:
“What story should I be telling?”

And start asking:
“Which story feels alive in my body?”

Which story lights something up when you speak it?
Which one feels grounding instead of draining?
Which one feels like truth, not performance?

Those are the stories worth telling.
Those are the stories that will stay with you.
Those are the stories that will stay with your audience.

You don’t need more strategy before you choose your stories.

You just need connection.

Because the stories that change others are almost always the ones that have already changed you.

And when you let those stories move through your marketing—without force, without polish-first pressure—your message doesn’t just become clearer.

It becomes unforgettable.
