Today's storyteller is Donna Freed making her return to the podcast with an intense and insightful story of confronting her father over a moment of seriously unacceptable behaviour. In our conversation afterwards we discuss how the events of the story changed her relationship with her dad, reflections on surviving the Me Too era, and the life changing value she has found in the storytelling process.

Today's storyteller is Michaela Agapiou sharing the story of when she, as a self-proclaimed "non-sporty" person, decided to take up taekwondo. In our talk afterward we discuss the nature of belonging and achievement, being an outwardly emotional person and craving the same from others, and how she found and fell in love with storytelling.
