How do we find our way through crisis when the path forward feels unclear? How can the stories we tell—and the stories we receive—serve as guides through times of profound change? This week, Tami Simon speaks with Leah Lamb—a writer, creator, and founder of the School for Sacred Storytelling. Leah works at the intersection of myth, healing, and personal transformation, bringing together storytellers from around the world to tell the visionary stories our time needs. She has a background in wilderness guiding, social work, theater, and environmental media, and she's created a new learning series with Sounds True called Sacred Storytelling: How to Tell Stories That Open Hearts and Heal the World. Join Tami and Leah to explore: - The original role of storytellers as healers, guides, and memory keepers across cultures - How the world was "sung, spoken, and chanted into being"—and what that means for us today - The difference between fantasy and dreams, and how to ground visionary stories in truth - Working with emotional resilience through storytelling during times of crisis - Deep listening as the foundation of sacred storytelling—listening to nature, community, and the unseen realms - How crisis etymologically means "a fork in the road"—an opportunity to make a choice - The practice of asking for "medicine stories" when you feel lost or stuck - Storytelling as a form of consciousness that can guide us through fear and overwhelm - The "Samurai Flip"—reframing painful stories by entering the mythic dimension - The mysterious connection between whales, memory keeping, and human storytelling - How to offer stories as gifts that provide exactly what someone needs - Trusting what comes through you when you're in service to life itself If you're seeking guidance through uncertainty, hoping to reclaim your voice as a creator, or wondering how to tell stories that serve life itself, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for the path ahead.
