Why Your Story Matters: Women, Truth and the Power of Storytelling

In this episode of The Things We Know, Kari and Lisa slow down to talk about why storytelling has always mattered so much, and why it still does right now. They reflect on story as a way we make sense of what we've lived, how women across cultures have carried memory and meaning when formal histories fell short, and why telling our own stories is never just personal. The conversation explores how stories can heal, connect, and help us become more fully ourselves, while also naming the quiet power of paying attention to who is telling the story and why. At its heart, this episode is about storytelling as a way of staying awake, preserving truth, and refusing to let our lives, our histories, or our humanity be flattened or rewritten by someone else.
