Attention Women Who've Spent Decades Disappearing Into Everyone Else's Story

The 8 Monday Afternoons That Turn Invisible Women Into Women Who Can't Be Ignored

A live, guided storytelling experience for women in midlife and beyond, built on the same method that has already carried hundreds of "stuck" women into their next chapter.

Soul Story Fall Forward 2026  ·  Live Mondays, August 10 – September 21

You already know the questions. They don't ask politely. They show up uninvited, in the in-between moments. Folding laundry. Driving home in silence. Lying awake at 2 a.m. while everyone else in the house sleeps easily.

If you're a woman in midlife or beyond, and those questions have been circling for longer than you'd like to admit, I want you to keep reading. Not because I'm going to hand you another journal prompt or another TED talk to half-watch and forget by Thursday.

But because what I'm about to describe is not a course about theory. It's not about fluff, or journaling your feelings into a void that never journals back. It is about one thing, and one thing only: getting you a story so real, so unmistakably yours, that it changes how the rest of your life gets lived.

A quick word about who's writing this

Devorah Spilman, founder of The InStory Way

Devorah Spilman

My name is Devorah Spilman. I've spent 35 years learning exactly one thing: how to help a woman find the story only she can tell.

I started as a professional storyteller, clown, and puppeteer, which is a strange enough résumé that people tend to remember it. Somewhere along the way, that turned into something deeper: an intuitive coaching practice built entirely around one process, refined over three decades, that helps women stop performing everyone else's expectations and start living from their own soul's calling.

I'm also the founder of The InStory Show, an international interview series that has featured women like Dee Wallace and Shiloh Sophia alongside dozens of coaches, artists, and healers who've each dared to tell the truth about their own becoming.

Introducing

Soul Story Fall Forward 2026

A live, 8-week experience built to do one thing: pull the story you've been carrying unspoken for years out into the light, and hand you the words, the confidence, and the community to finally tell it.

Eight Mondays. Ninety guided minutes each. One small circle of women exactly like you. And a process, called Shift, Shape, Share, that has already walked hundreds of women out of the fog and into a version of their life that finally sounds like them.

If you've been doing "the work" and still feel stuck, please hear this

You've read the books. Maybe you've done the therapy, the retreats, the vision boards. You've been growing, learning, showing up, and yet somehow you're still standing in the same spin-cycle, wondering why none of it has clicked into place.

Here's what I've learned after three decades of sitting across from women in exactly this spot: the problem was never that you weren't trying hard enough. The problem is that most of what's marketed as "personal growth" gives you frameworks and worksheets, but never actually walks you, live, hand-in-hand, through the one thing that changes everything: telling your actual story, out loud, to people who witness it.

You cannot think your way into a new identity. You have to speak your way into one. That's the entire difference between this and everything else you've already tried.

Here's exactly how simple this is

You don't need to be "a writer." You don't need to already know your story. You just need to show up on Mondays.

No blank-page paralysis. No blinking cursor. Every session is live and guided. I walk the room through the process step by step, in real time, so you're never left alone with a worksheet wondering what to do with it.

Weeks 1–3 · Shift

Find what's actually true

We clear the noise of who you've been performing for everyone else, and get underneath it to the story that's actually yours.

Weeks 4–6 · Shape

Give it form

With live coaching and honest feedback, your story stops being a vague feeling and becomes something you can actually say out loud.

Weeks 7–8 · Share

Say it. Be seen.

You bring it to the room in the closing Storytelling Recital, and something shifts permanently once it's been spoken and witnessed.

Eight weeks. Ninety minutes a week. Live, every Monday, 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET, from August 10 through September 21, 2026. That's it. That's the whole commitment.

Now picture Week 8

"It's a Monday afternoon in late September. You're on the call, and it's your turn. For the first time, maybe in decades, you say the true version of your story out loud, and a small circle of women who have watched you all fall arrive right alongside you actually see you. Not the version you perform. The real one."

That's the Storytelling Recital. It's not a performance review. It's the moment the whole eight weeks has been building toward all along: the moment your story stops living only in your head and starts living in the world, where it can actually do something.

Women who've been through it describe the same thing afterward: a kind of exhale they didn't know they'd been holding for years.

Why this process, and why now, from me

There is no shortage of people online selling "find your voice" content. What's different here is simple: I've spent 35 years doing nothing else. Not marketing. Not funnels. Storytelling, first as a performer, then as a coach, then as the woman who built an entire international show around it.

The InStory Process isn't theory I read about. It's the same five-step method I've used with hundreds of women in The InStory Year and in private one-on-one mentorship, refined, tightened, and now condensed into this focused 8-week Fall cohort.

Don't take my word for it. Here's what women who've walked this path are saying:

Cindy says her soul "lit up like the sun" within her first few sessions with Devorah. She reframed her entire business, changed her pricing, and realigned everything around a deeper sense of purpose.

Louise Rossi says the very first group call felt like reuniting with women she'd already known for years, what she calls "soul recognition." She knew instantly she was in the right place.

Kelly Bus says her very first conversation with Devorah left her wanting to "hug her through the phone." In just thirty minutes, her self-worth and confidence finally caught up to years of affirmation work, and she realized she was no longer afraid of her own story.

Chris Carter joined to sharpen her storytelling and found something bigger: a shift that touched every corner of her life, even reawakening a creative flow in her painting she hadn't felt in years.

Here's precisely what you get

Everything inside Soul Story Fall Forward

The Grand Finale, Included at No Extra Cost

The Storytelling Recital Isn't a Wrap-Up. It's the Whole Point.

Most story programs end with a workbook you'll never open again. This one ends with your actual voice, live, in front of women who have walked every step beside you and are finally hearing the real version, maybe for the first time in your life.

Here's how this works from here

I don't publish enrollment details on this page, because the right path for you depends entirely on where you're starting right now, and on what this season of your life actually needs. That's exactly what your free Soul Story Session is for: a short, honest conversation to figure out together whether this Fall cohort is the right fit for you, and what it would look like to join.

Why this can't wait for "someday"

This is a live cohort, not a self-paced library of videos. It runs once, Mondays, August 10 through September 21, 2026, and it's kept intentionally small so every woman gets real, personal attention, not a lecture broadcast to hundreds.

Once the cohort fills, or once August 10th passes, this particular circle of women and this particular Fall season close. The next opportunity won't be this one.

About that conversation I mentioned

Call

Book a Free Soul Story Session: No Pitch, No Obligation

I don't fill this cohort by hoping the "Register" button converts. I fill it by talking, briefly, with every woman who's serious, so we can both find out, honestly, whether this Fall season is the right fit for where you are right now. If it's not, I'll tell you. If it is, we'll figure out together which path makes sense for you. Either way, you leave the call with more clarity than you had going in.

One honest warning before you go

I'm not going to pretend there's no cost to waiting. There is. It just doesn't announce itself, so it's easy to ignore.

It's another year of "next year I'll focus on me." Another birthday where the wisdom, the talent, and the untold stories stay bottled up exactly where they've been for decades. Another season where you keep doing everything for everyone else, wondering, in the back of your mind, when it will finally be your turn.

This cohort begins August 10, 2026, whether or not you're in the room. The only real question is whether you decide, now, to be one of the women who finally is.

I'll leave you with this: I've watched hundreds of women sit exactly where you're sitting right now, certain there was more inside them, unsure how to let it out. Every one of them had a moment where they simply decided. This can be yours.
