Humans have been telling each other stories since before writing. Around fires, looking up at the stars, human beings found comfort and connection through imagination and stories.

 I'm Lynne Thompson -- Tech Writer, rising Voice Actor, and podcaster! I have always loved hearing people's stories, especially when they have overcome something, and then share it with the rest of us! So far the podcast has included stories on Overcoming Addiction, the Entrepreneur journey, Dealing with Mental Illness, Understanding Grief (and a few fairy tales thrown in there!). 

There are plenty of spiritual moments humorous moments, and more. I have learned so much from my guests! Join me as I  talk to real people with extraordinary stories!  What is your story? I would love to hear it! Reach out to me at [email protected], or join our Facebook group!
