Stories from the Heart

A collection of 16 inspiring stories shared from our hearts to yours…..


Put your feet up and grab a cuppa, you are about to be taken on a journey, into the hearts of sixteen inspiring people. People who lead ordinary lives but who have bravely stepped up on stage in front of a live audience and shared their story. All  make for extraordinary reading. Originally told live at a Stories From The Heart™ storytelling event in front of sold-out audiences, these stories have been adapted from the stage to the page.


Have you ever asked yourself the question what if?, or made a mistake that has taught you a valuable life lesson? Have you felt lost, alone, not good enough, or searching for more? The authors will take you on a roller-coaster of emotions as each story delves into the heart of who they are. Each story is real, raw and relatable.


I wanted to create this book to inspire others to step up, stand out and share their story. We all have stories worth sharing.


What others say;


“Lisa Evans is a classy lady who lives an inspiring life. She now not only tells her story to inspire others, she teaches other people how to tell their story in a powerful way”.

Darren La Croix, Certified Speaking Professional, Accredited Speaker, World Champion Speaker, USA.


“Funny and sad - you will smile, you will be teary and you will relate to the feelings expressed, the incidents which happened and the lessons learned.  You may not have “been there, done that” but someone close to you has. Each story is different, told by different people, at different stages of their lives though they all have things in common.  They share experiences, opened up not fearing scrutiny and every story ends with hope and a positive attitude”.

Claudette Pope, Writer.
