Episode 2: Who Is Stormi?

Before I can continue to invite others to share their stories, I think it's only right that I share a little of my own.

In this episode, I'm introducing you to Stormi — who I am, where I come from, the things I love, and the family and experiences that helped shape me into the person I am today.

But beyond the introductions, I'm opening up about some of the experiences that have shaped my identity. From mental health struggles and childhood bullying to growing up as a preacher's kid and feeling the pressure to be perfect, I'll be sharing what it was like to spend so much of my life trying to meet expectations while hiding parts of myself.

I'll talk about wearing a mask, struggling with shame, and learning what it means to embrace who I am beyond the image others may have of me.

Most importantly, I'll share why I started The Bridge in Time.

I wanted to create a space where people can show up as they are, tell their stories without fear of judgment, and have conversations without the pressure to agree, defend themselves, or pretend to be someone they're not.

Because sometimes, all we really need is the opportunity to be heard.

This is me taking off my mask. I hope this space encourages you to feel comfortable taking yours off, too.

Welcome to The Bridge in Time.

Episode 001: Who Is Mother Jones?

In our very first episode of The Bridge in Time, we sit down with Mother Jones for a heartfelt conversation about a lifetime of experiences, lessons, and memories.

At 95 years old, she takes us back to her childhood, sharing what it was like growing up during a time of racism and how those early experiences shaped her perspective on life. She also opens up about her journey of faith, the role God has played throughout her life, and her years of dedicated mission work.

Through her story, we get a glimpse into a different time, a different generation, and the experiences that helped shape the world we live in today.

This conversation reminds us that behind every generation is a lifetime of stories, wisdom, and lessons worth passing down.

Because understanding where we've been helps us better understand one another.
