A 30-Day Heart to Art Journey
WRITE YOUR LIFE STORY
in 30 Days
Imagine reaching December with your life story finally written.
You've lived a whole life of memories, experiences, and extraordinary little moments. Isn't it time you captured them?
Join me on 1st November for a guided 30-day journey to turn your memories into something meaningful using ChatGPT as your personal story partner.
- You don't need to be a writer.
- You don't need to know anything about AI.
- You certainly don't need to have lived a famous or extraordinary life.
Starts 1st November. 8 live sessions with daily content.
Your story could be ready to share this Christmas with 15 to 45 minutes a day, depending on your chosen story path, and guidance from Grace throughout.
A quiet feeling you've carried
Perhaps you've been meaning to do this for years
Maybe you've thought:
"I really should write some of this down."
Perhaps you want your children or grandchildren to know more about where you came from.
Perhaps you've started recording a few memories and never quite got any further.
Perhaps you're interested in your family history and have suddenly realised that you are part of that history too.
Or perhaps you simply want to understand your own life a little better.
Because a life story isn't only something you leave behind. Sometimes, looking back helps you see the life you've lived differently too.
The Heart to Art Approach
This isn't about asking AI to write your autobiography
ChatGPT won't be the author of your life. You are.
I'll show you how to use it as a Story Partner.
It can:
- ask thoughtful questions
- follow interesting threads
- spark memories you haven't thought about for years
- help you organise what you've told it
- notice patterns and connections
- help shape your own words into readable writing
- preserve important biographical information
- help you find the story within everything that happened
What stays entirely yours:
The memories are yours.
The choices are yours.
And the final story should still sound like you.
AI doesn't write your story.
It helps you find it.
Your Choice of Destination
What will you create?
Not everybody wants the same kind of life story.
At the beginning of the Journey, you'll choose the Story Path that best suits what you want to leave with.
The Memory Library
Create a growing collection of meaningful memories, stories, photographs, people and moments that you can keep adding to.
The Short Life Story
Create a concise, shaped narrative of your life — built around what it has really been about.
The Family Memoir
Create a fuller account for your family and future generations, with more biographical detail while still reading like a story rather than a list of events.
Legacy Letters
Create a collection of personal letters to people who matter to you — containing memories, experiences, things you’ve learned and things you want them to know.
And if you start with one path and realise another suits you better, you can change direction.
Day by Day
How the 30 days work
Discover the life
We'll start with a live welcome session to make sure everyone is ready to begin and to introduce ourselves to each other.
The next step will be creating a map of your life — but this isn't a rigid march from childhood onwards.
Your story is unique. If childhood matters enormously to you, we can spend more time there. If later life is where everything changed, that may deserve much more attention. If there are areas you'd rather leave private, you can.
We'll explore themes such as:
And because ChatGPT responds to what you tell it, no two Journeys will be exactly the same.
What is your story really about?
This is the point where we stop asking only: What happened? and begin asking: What does it all mean?
We'll look across everything you've uncovered. The recurring themes. The people who mattered. The decisions that changed things. The patterns you may never have noticed before.
ChatGPT will help identify possible threads running through your life — but it doesn't get to decide what your story means. You do.
Shape the story
Now we become storytellers.
We'll look at:
- what belongs
- what can be left out
- where the story should begin
- whether chronological order is actually the best structure
- which moments deserve more space
- how to bring people and places alive
- how to keep the writing in your voice
- how to create an opening that draws people in
- how to bring the story to a satisfying close
This is where a collection of memories becomes a life story.
You will then have a complete life story of the story so far and hopefully some ideas for how you want to live out future chapters.
We will end with a celebratory session where people are welcome to share as little or as much of their life story with their journey partners. Certificates will be sent out to everyone who has completed the journey.
Your Personal Archive
Your Story Keeper
We won't rely on ChatGPT remembering every detail for 30 days. You'll build your own Story Keeper as you go.
At the end of each session, you'll capture:
- important memories
- people and places
- dates and biographical facts
- themes that are emerging
- details worth returning to
- things you're unsure about
- material that may belong in the final story
So your work remains yours — organised, portable and available to you long after the Journey finishes.
Preserving the facts
And we'll preserve the facts too
A great story doesn't need to contain every school, job, address or date. But that doesn't mean those things aren't worth keeping.
So alongside your narrative, we'll help you capture your Life Record too.
At the end of the Journey, you'll have optional tools for creating things such as:
- My Life in Chronology
- Places I've Called Home
- Education & Working Life
- The People in My Story
- Important Family Facts
- Things I Never Want Forgotten
The story can be selective.
The record can be comprehensive.

The Story Behind the Journey
Why I created this
Hi, I'm Grace.
For over 15 years, I've worked as a funeral celebrant.
I've spent thousands of hours sitting with families, listening to memories and trying to find the story within a lifetime.
And there is one phrase I hear again and again:
"I never knew that."
A story about how somebody met the love of their life. Something they did when they were young. A dream they once had. A difficult period they quietly survived. Or one tiny ordinary detail that suddenly seems incredibly precious.
It has often made me wonder:
Why do we wait until somebody has died before we gather their story together?
My experience through fostering also introduced me to life-story work and the power of seeing our experiences put together into a narrative.
There can be something extraordinary about stepping back and seeing:
- where you came from
- what shaped you
- what you survived
- what you chose
- who mattered
- and how all those things brought you here
I've also always been a creator — writing songs, stories, quizzes and musicals. AI changed what I felt able to create. Not because I wanted a machine to make things for me. But because suddenly I had a creative partner that could help me ask questions, work through ideas and make things I might once have thought were beyond me.
Heart to Art came from wanting other people to experience that too.
And Write Your Life Story in 30 Days brings those two parts of my life together: 15 years of listening for the story within a life and a new technology that can help people tell their own.
You don't need to be a writer
I mean that. You don't need:
- writing experience
- a fascinating celebrity life
- perfect grammar
- an amazing memory
- technical AI knowledge
You've already got the most important ingredient.
You've lived it. I'll show you what to do with it.
What if I've hardly used ChatGPT?
That's absolutely fine.
You do not need to be "good at AI". I'll give you the Story Sparks and show you how to use them.
A free ChatGPT account is enough to take part.
What if parts of my life are difficult?
You remain in control throughout. You can: skip something, keep it factual, leave something private, move somewhere lighter, or return to it another time.
This is reflective storytelling, not therapy. There is no requirement to explore something simply because it was significant.
The Real Destination
What will I actually have at the end?
By Day 30, you will have created a written account of your life in the format you chose.
It won't necessarily be a publication-ready autobiography. It doesn't need to be.
It will be a meaningful narrative of where you came from, what shaped you, the people and moments that mattered, what you have overcome and how you became who you are now.
And alongside it, you'll have a structured archive of the memories and facts you uncovered along the way.
