In this powerful conversation, Brenda sits down with storyteller and author Kirstyn Lazur to explore the transformation of deeply held experiences into cathartic art. Kirstyn shares her journey from writing her memoir to working through fear, shame, and family response — and now bringing that same story to life as a one‑person show.

Together, they discuss:

• Why stories aren’t truly finished after publication

• How embracing vulnerability leads to healing

• What it takes to move a story from the page to the stage

• The difference between living smaller because of our secrets vs thriving by sharing them

• The power of community and witness in storytelling

• How the process of embodiment (acting, character work) unlocks emotional expression

Kirstyn opens up about writing a memoir filled with spiritual mystery and personal challenge, the intense process of crafting the manuscript, and her release into community and performance. She and Brenda dig into the heart of storytelling as a force for collective healing and personal transformation.

✨ Kirstyn one-woman show was developed and directed for the stage by Brenda Adelman.
