What if STORY is the answer? To our crises of meaning and belonging. To our impulse to heal our lives and help others. To our desire and drive to leave the world better than we found it. We LOVE good stories. In fact, we’re kinda obsessed. Not just with the stories themselves, but with the stories behind the stories. Their oddly perfect timing, the healing process they provoke in their authors, and their capacity to catalyze individual and collective healing. And we love exploring them with writers, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, healers, parents, and others. Tune in to hear these stories behind the stories and entertain (with us) the real possibility that, whether you are a “teller” or a “consumer,” Story is always offering, or leading us to, an answer.
