Episode notes
Storytellers As Original Healers
- Storytellers originally served as healers, guides, and memory-keepers who shaped reality through voice and mythic language.
- Leah Lamb argues modern storytellers must reclaim this sacred role to translate unseen wisdom into guidance for life.
Choose Your Story In Crisis
- Breathe and choose the story you want to inhabit when fear triggers fight, flight, or freeze reactions in your brain.
- Use language deliberately to shape a crisis as a fork in the road and a choice point for action and hope.
Listen To Land, Not Just Data
- Do deep listening with the natural world instead of relying only on data to regain inspiration and guidance.
- Sit on the earth and ask what story the land wants you to speak through you today.
