Coffee Fueled Stories
♥️ Positive Change Award Winning show!!
Welcome to my Virtual Coffee Shop.
I’m your Pocket DJ, Michelle, and this is another fresh brewed episode where storytelling and coffee hang out.
The podcast is both informative and entertaining; I believe we connect through the power of storytelling. Writing is a powerful tool. Each episode is packed with valuable writing nuggets.
For me, drinking coffee and sharing stories feels very comforting and relaxing.
Join the virtual table & stay for some inspirational tales.
I’ve learned it’s never too late to follow your dreams and write your heart out.
