Balancing Emotion and Objectivity in Your Story

Send us a text

"Welcome to The Legacy Project Podcast, where we explore the art of storytelling and the impact of sharing your journey with authenticity and purpose. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today, we’re focusing on one of the most important—and sometimes tricky—aspects of storytelling: balancing emotion and objectivity in your story.

When we tell our own stories, it’s natural to feel deeply connected to the emotions behind our experiences. After all, our stories are shaped by joy, heartbreak, triumph, and loss. But while emotion is what makes a story compelling, too much of it can cloud the message or overwhelm the reader. On the flip side, being overly objective can make your story feel distant or impersonal.

So, how do you strike the right balance? How do you share your truth in a way that’s both heartfelt and clear? In today’s episode, we’ll explore why balancing emotion and objectivity matters, how to manage your emotions while writing, and how to ensure your story connects with readers without losing its authenticity. Whether you’re writing for yourself, your family, or a broader audience, this episode will give you the tools to tell your story with both heart and perspective."
