Another technique might be to write some of the individual sections 'as conversations'.
e.g.
"I think -----------"
[perhaps no differentiation needed here, but leading into]
"I really have to agree with Sue here because -----------"
"Joel raises an interesting issue and I've seen it ------"
"I remember when Joel -----"
"Sue had a friend once who ----"
HTH,
RonL.
There may, however, be some potential awkwardness if you want to tell a "my dad once ---" kind of story. That could either box you into throwing in a gratuitous "and us guys" remark into the story or 'force' a comment from Sue to clarify your speaking voice. Anyway, I'm sure you have all the material ... the rest is just editing. Enjoy!
