Your life. Your words. Your story
Your life is filled with stories worth telling. The people you’ve loved, the experiences that shaped you, the things you believe and the lessons you’ve learned along the way.
Narrative Minds is a 52-week guided life-story writing journey that helps you capture those stories, one week at a time.
You don’t need to be a writer. We’ll guide you.
52 weeks. 52 stories. Your life, in your words.
You have more stories than you realise
Your childhood. The people who shaped you. The choices you made. The places you’ve been. The relationships that mattered. Your faith and values. The difficult seasons. The things that brought you joy. The lessons you’ve learned.
Even the little things matter. A favourite family recipe. A tradition you want to continue. A story your children have never heard.
These are the stories that make your life yours.
Narrative Minds helps you put them into words.
Write it for yourself. Share it with someone you love
Your stories might be something you keep for yourself or something you one day share with your children, family, friends, godchildren or someone you’ve mentored.
Because the people who love us often know us as Mum, Dad, partner, friend or mentor, without knowing all the stories that made us who we are.
Capture the experiences, memories, values and wisdom you want them to know.
Your stories, all in one place
Your journey includes your Narrative Minds Story Collection, an editable space where your 52 stories can grow throughout the year.
Write as much or as little as you want. Add photographs, recipes, names, places and other details you don’t want to forget.
By the end, you’ll have something that could only belong to you.
Your life, told in your own words.

You don't need to be a writer
You don’t need perfect grammar. You don’t need an extraordinary life.
And you don’t need to know how to write a book. You only need your memories.
There is no perfect way to tell your story. The important thing is that it gets told.
From your stories to your book
Your Narrative Minds Story Collection is a place to bring together the memories, people and experiences that have shaped your life. We’re exploring a book printing service that will allow you to turn your completed collection into a beautifully printed book to keep or share with the people you love.
Each week, we’ll guide you through four simple steps:
Remember
Begin with a carefully chosen life-story question that takes you back to a particular person, place, experience or season of your life.
Explore
Gentle memory starters help you go beyond the obvious and recall the details that bring a story to life.
Reflect
Consider what the experience meant to you, what it taught you or how it helped shape the person you became.
Preserve
Capture the little things connected to the story that might otherwise be forgotten, perhaps a photograph, recipe, letter, place, family saying or treasured object.
You can write by hand, type or record your voice. There are no deadlines and no perfect answers.
Frequently Answered Questions
1. Do I need to be a writer?
Not at all. Narrative Minds is designed for ordinary people who want to capture their life stories but may not know where to begin. Each week, we’ll guide you with a carefully chosen question and gentle prompts to help you remember, reflect and put your story into your own words.
2. What kind of stories will I write?
You’ll explore different parts of your life, from childhood, family and relationships to work, travel, faith, values, challenges, achievements and the lessons you’ve learned along the way. You can also capture the smaller things that matter to you, such as family traditions, favourite recipes and memories you don’t want to forget.
3. Is this the same as writing an autobiography?
Not quite. You won’t be asked to sit down and write your entire life from beginning to end. Narrative Minds helps you build your life story gradually through 52 individual stories. Together, they create a meaningful picture of your experiences, memories, values and the person you’ve become.
4. Am I too young or too old to start?
There is no right age to write your life story. Narrative Minds is for anyone who has experiences, memories and lessons they want to capture. You don’t need to wait until later in life. Your story is still being written, and that’s part of what makes it yours.
5. What if I miss a week or fall behind?
That’s completely fine. There is no catching up required before you continue. Simply write the next story when you’re ready and return to any missed ones later. This is your journey, and you can take it at your own pace.
6. Where do I keep everything I write?
You’ll receive your own editable Narrative Minds Story Collection, where you can keep all 52 stories together. You can also add photographs, recipes, names, places and other details connected to your memories.
7. Can I share my stories with my family?
Absolutely. Your stories belong to you. You might write purely for yourself or choose to share them with your children, family, friends, godchildren or someone you’ve mentored. You can also choose to have Narrative Minds help turn your completed stories into a professionally prepared book.
8. Can I cancel?
Yes. Narrative Minds offers a 14-day cancellation period on eligible purchases. If you’re paying monthly, you can also cancel your subscription at any time to prevent future payments. After the initial 14-day period, payments already made are not refundable simply because you change your mind. Your statutory consumer rights are not affected.
Thank you so much for these inspiring questions.
I am enjoying it, and thank you so much for taking me on this journey.
I am really enjoying reflecting and completing the prompts. It is like therapy. I am so excited for my children to use this at whatever stage in their lives whenever they want know how I dealt with a particular issue or my perspective on a topic. Thank you so much for the opportunity and the timely weekly prompts.
