Storytelling is a powerful tool that shapes our understanding of the world and ourselves. In a recent episode of our podcast, we had the pleasure of hosting Michael Harris, an accomplished author, coach, and entrepreneur, who shared his insights on the art of storytelling. Michael's unique perspective on how stories can help us navigate life’s challenges and connect with others is both enlightening and inspiring.

The Power of Stories:

Stories have the power to clarify what’s real and what’s not. Michael Harris points out that while stories can sometimes be based on perceptions that aren’t entirely accurate, diving into and telling our stories helps us get closer to our truth. He discusses the common storytelling framework of the Hero’s Journey, where individuals go through struggles and emerge transformed. However, he also challenges listeners to explore other ways of storytelling that go beyond this traditional model.

Relating to Others:

One of the most profound aspects of storytelling is its ability to connect us with others. Michael uses the analogy of a mountain to describe how different perspectives enrich our understanding. Just as standing on different sides of a mountain offers varying views, sharing our stories allows us to see life from multiple angles. This shared understanding can foster empathy and collaboration.

The Importance of Diverse Narratives:

Michael emphasizes that every guest on our podcast brings unique dynamics and viewpoints, contributing to a richer tapestry of stories. He encourages listeners to embrace diverse narratives and recognize that each person’s story offers valuable lessons. By comparing our stories and perspectives, we can find common ground and appreciate the diversity of human experience.


The art of storytelling is a crucial aspect of personal growth and community building. Michael Harris’s insights remind us that our stories matter and that sharing them can lead to greater self-awareness and deeper connections with others. Reflect on your own narrative and consider how you can share it in a way that resonates with others. Remember, the power of your story lies not just in the telling, but in the connections it creates.

However, for empaths, this gift can sometimes become overwhelming, leading to a state known as empathic overwhelm. In this blog post, we'll explore what empathic overwhelm is, how to recognize it, and share some practical strategies from our recent podcast episode with Jennifer Moore, an expert in empathic sensitivity, on how to manage it effectively.

This can lead to emotional exhaustion, anxiety, and even physical symptoms such as headaches or fatigue.

Eugenics on The East Coast

The influence of eugenics on the east coast By Samantha Aiko Introduction  Eugenics was a movement that began in the early 20th century based on the premise that specific groups of people were of a master race. This idea was first popularized by Francis Galton, an Englishman influenced by his cousin Charles Darwin's theories on natural selection. He believed that genius could be passed down through genes, but he also believed that negative traits could be controlled and eliminated from society. Eugenicists around the world took up this mantle, including America where eugenicists like Andrew Carnegie and John D Rockefeller Jr funded institutions dedicated to eradicating diseases like mental illness from our gene pool altogether. Their efforts resulted in over 60% of institutionalized Americans being sterilized against their will - with many believing it would prevent them from passing down mental illness or chronic disease to their children." Eugenics was a movement that began ...
