What’s your story—and how do you tell it? In the opening episode of our new season of Narratology: The Stories We Live By, Grace and Brad explore the idea of the narrative self—that inner storyline that helps us make sense of life. ✨

Together, they unpack why it’s so hard to pin down a plotline, how conflict shapes who we are, and why reframing struggle as part of a story can bring both meaning 📖 and risk ⚡️. From grief and therapy to theology and the seven basic plots, this conversation invites you to see your life not as “one damn thing after another” but as a story worth telling. 💫
