The stories we tell shape the people we become. In this podcast, Nia Young and Kevin Deyna-Jones unpick the myths, metaphors, and mindsets behind everyday life, asking what we believe, why we believe it, and how these shape us. From self-esteem to success, loneliness to legacy, we explore how history becomes story, and story becomes self. No wellness platitudes here: just honest talk, sharp insight, and the occasional reminder not to be a d**k, innit.
