How to write a coming-of-age story that resonates with readers of all ages

In this episode, the OBA story team takes on the debate of duty versus carefree living through the lens of Disney's The Lion King. We explore the film's impact as a coming-of-age story, defining key elements that make these kinds of stories so popular and sharing our own personal connections to the film's themes. Our conversation highlights the interplay of grief, acceptance, and leadership, emphasizing the importance of facing one's past and the lessons learned through hardship. Join us as we discuss the significance of loss, responsibility, and the journey of self-discovery, then show you how to write a timeless story that is just as powerful.
