Soulful Storytelling Episode 4 with Tina Evans and Nia Evans

Here is the 4th Soulful Storytelling episode recorded at my live event on the 28th October 2019 in Cardiff. This event is about bringing people together through the powerful medium of story. We all have incredible stories inside of us that are waiting to be heard, that can entertain, touch and heal others. We had 2 wonderful storytelling acts on the night, who shared their stories touching on themes of...
