Hi, listeners. Today, I'm excited to announce that I'm launching a Substack called Beyond the Story. On the Substack, I'll be sharing personal reflections on the deeper themes that emerge from each episode and across the conversations I've been immersed in for years, including the psychology of radical transformation, the power of storytelling, the lessons of trauma and healing, and how we die to an old self and are reborn. I'll share behind-the-scenes glimpses into the making of the show and my own personal journey in creating it. As the Substack evolves, we'll also explore healing practices mentioned on the show, therapeutic modalities, and approaches to transformation. We'll give updates on past guests and where their journeys have taken them, as well as listener Q&A, and eventually, occasional live gatherings. Beyond the Story will be a space where you can hear more from me and from the team, as well as a space to share in community reflection and continue the spirit of empathetic connection we've cultivated here on the show together over the last four hundred episodes.
