The Podcast, Ep 3: Would you go back to middle school?
Sometimes our stories are stuck in time. Let's rescue them.
Hi friends! This week’s Story Letter podcast episode is here:
Episode 3: New Versions of Old Stories
What happens when we revisit old stories with fresh eyes? Today we're thinking about how time and perspective can change our narratives completely. And I'll take you on a field trip to my middle school years (and my literal middle school) that changed how I see my past.
I loved doing this episode because of my producer, Laura Boach. She is incredible, period, you can hear it with your own ears. But also, this was a vulnerable story, and having Laura on Zoom with me during recording just made me feel very safe.
It reminded me that listening is a full-on gift, and that stories don’t really exist without listeners. Not to get too “if a tree falls in the forest” about it. That space between teller and listener is a tiny little bit sacred, whether you’re in person in a theater of 2500, or on Zoom with a blanket over your head and one listener in your headphones.
Anyway. Let’s do it! And HI LAURA I LOVE YOU!
