MADE FOR INSPIRATION, MOTIVATION & CONVERSATION
Inspired by our heartfelt street interviews, each of the 82 cards holds 3 thought-provoking questions – for a total of 246 questions – that encourage self-reflection, sharing experiences, and offering advice – just like we do during our encounters on the streets. This versatile deck offers different ways to play – you can engage in deep conversations by going through all three questions, use it to break the ice with strangers by asking just the first question, or even employ the cards as journal prompts for your personal growth journey.
Whether you’re gathered around the dinner table, at a social event with friends, learning about yourself and engaging in self-reflection or looking to make new connections, these cards serve as a catalyst for heartfelt conversations with you, your friends, family, co-workers, strangers – with people, that matter. Discover new facets of those around you, learn from their journeys, and embrace the richness of their stories. As you engage with others, you’ll also find opportunities for personal growth, empathy, and understanding. The “Someone Needs to Hear Your Story” card deck is your gateway to building lasting connections and celebrating the power of shared experiences.
THINGS TO KNOW:Â
How It Works:
Card Deck: The deck contains 82 cards, and each card holds 3 thought-provoking questions. These questions are designed to prompt deep introspection and encourage participants to open up about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
Catalyst for Conversation: The primary goal of the card deck is to facilitate genuine and meaningful conversations. By exploring the questions together, participants can connect on a deeper level, share personal stories, and learn from each other’s journeys.
Different Ways to Play or Use the Cards:
Deep Conversations: Participants can engage in profound discussions by going through all three questions on a card. This mode is ideal for creating a space where individuals can delve into their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, fostering a sense of vulnerability and connection.
Icebreaker: If you’re meeting new people or trying to break the ice in social situations, you can choose to ask just the first question on a card. This approach helps initiate conversations and encourages participants to share a bit about themselves, creating a comfortable atmosphere.
Journal Prompts: The card deck can serve as prompts for personal growth and self-discovery. If you prefer introspection in a solitary setting, you can use the questions as prompts for journaling or self-reflection. This way, you can explore your own thoughts and experiences at your own pace.
Group Activities: Whether you’re gathered around the dinner table, at a social event, or even in a team-building workshop, the card deck can be incorporated into various group activities. It provides a platform for individuals to connect, learn from each other, and foster empathy.

I’m a purpose-driven entrepreneur, non-profit founder, chronic illness, activist & advocate, podcaster, public speaker and healthy home interior designer!
BUT – that’s not really who I am, it’s what I do.
While that gives you some context, it doesn’t show you my heart or story or how I can help you – and that’s WAY more important – so let me tell you!
After being sick for 10 years with over 20 chronic & rare conditions, needing a feeding tube & weekly infusions to survive, I learned how short & fragile life really, really is. As I began to heal, I realized what I really wanted to do was to create a life I truly loved every little bit of & I knew that for me, that meant finding a way to take my pain and turn it into passion, purpose & positive impact so I could pay forward all the love, support, and help that others gave me in my time of need.
So that’s what I try to do here: share my story and journey to help inspire, empower, and equip others to turn their struggles into their strengths and create a life they truly love—filled with passion, purpose, and positive impact—while I work to do the same! I hope you’ll join me!
