Guided by TMI Project workshop leaders Hayley Downs and Dara Lurie, we explore significant experiences in a new light. By writing about them boldly as compelling personal monologues we take back our power and clear space for more impactful leadership.
In a safe space for women, we use writing prompts and exercises to help us write from our whole selves—including the TMI (Too Much Information) parts that are usually left out because of pain or embarrassment.
Through sharing stories and feedback, we:
- Release stigma to feel unburdened and empowered by our stories
- Gain confidence writing a true story without concern for grammar or punctuation
- Strengthen our ability to be effectively heard and practice speaking in front of others
- Learn to elicit listener identification and understanding, and inspire social change
