This episode thinks about the power of storytelling—how we shape our lives through the stories we tell, embellish, and pass on. From ancient myths to everyday moments, stories are what connects us, defines us, and influences how others see us. Whether you're living a tale or retelling it, you’re the author of your own narrative.

But let’s be honest—how true are the stories we tell, really? Is any story true, ever? Every time you share that one crazy moment, you probably add a little flair (or forget a few some of the unnecessary details). And that’s okay. In a world where facts can feel forgettable, it’s really the feeling of the story that sticks. This episode asks why we all exaggerate, edit, and reinvent, and how the stories we shape often end up shaping us right back.
