About Life Story Collective
Life Story Collective is a vibrant community where I bring storytellers, just like you, together to preserve and share their stories. It’s a tapestry of voices, experiences and wisdom, woven by people who understand the power of personal stories – and who know that good intentions alone don’t get the words on the page.
Most people say, “One day I’ll just sit down and write it myself”. In theory, you absolutely can. In practice, life is busy, memories feel big and complicated, and the blank page can be overwhelming. That’s where I come in.
Through Life Story Collective, I guide individuals from all walks of life – some just beginning their storytelling journey, others seasoned writers – to capture their memories in ways that feel authentic, meaningful and do‑able. Whether you’re sharing your legacy with loved ones or reflecting on your own life’s path, you’ll find the prompts, structure and gentle support you need to actually start – and keep going.
Join this growing community of storytellers and become part of something bigger: a living archive of experiences, wisdom and connections that span generations.

The Heart Behind Life Story Collective
I’m Lyndall Guinery-Smith, founder of Life Story Collective and your Life Story Facilitator.
As a published author and award-winning copywriter at The Professional Writer, I’ve spent more than 20 years writing unique stories that connect, inspire, and drive real impact for businesses, their clients and for individuals. Storytelling sits at the heart of everything I do, from writing winning business award submissions to compelling website copy and personal bios that truly capture who you are.
Along the way, I noticed a pattern – So many people wanted to write down their life stories “one day”, but they felt too busy, too unsure where to start, or too worried they “weren’t real writers”. The result? Precious memories and hard‑won wisdom stayed stuck in their heads instead of being passed on.
With Life Story Collective, I bring my writing expertise and facilitation skills together to personally guide people who want to preserve their life stories and leave a legacy for future generations. I’m dedicated to helping you reflect on your life, celebrate your journey and share your wisdom with the people you love – without having to do it all alone.
With a background in business, marketing and adult education, I bring a blend of professional skill and personal warmth to every workshop and project. What truly drives me is my love of helping people tell their stories in a way that feels natural, honest and true to who they are.
Life Story Collective is more than just a business to me – it’s a heartfelt mission. I’ve seen how powerful words can be in connecting people, healing old stories and strengthening families. Through this work, I’m able to walk beside you as you create meaningful life stories that will be cherished for generations to come.
