Love Your Story

Title: What Stories Taught me about Risk Intro: Lezlie Silko said, “I will tell you something about stories…they aren’t just entertainment. Don’t be fooled. They are all we have.” We all have stories. We all tell stories. If I told you how I fell 100 feet off a rock climb, you’d start thinking of your own stories, one you’d like to tell in response. Maybe a bigger/better, or someone you know did X. It’s part of our conversation…how we relate to each other. But stories are so much more – tune in today for the unexpected discovery I made while studying the stories of hikers, bikers, skiers and rock climbers. An insight into how we all manage risk! s I conducted 16 interviews of people who participate regularly in outdoor recreation – human-powered sports in wild places such as mountains, rivers, and deserts.

Intro: In the Hobbit – subtitled “An Unexpected Journey” one of the favorite lines is: “It’s a dangerous business walking out one’s front door.” In the hero’s journey one must always leave the known, the comfortable, the normal – comfort zone be damned, this is where the possibility begins. This is where adventure and growth happen. Stories are our lives in language. Welcome to the Love Your Story podcast.

Episode 001 Story Super Power – Reframing so we can Fly! Stories are our lives in language! There is nothing that comes more natural in human communication than to tell a story or recap an event that has taken place in our lives. In fact, it is so natural and happens so often that we are usually completely unaware that we are doing it. If it’s lunch time for you, you’ve probably already told 3 or 4 stories this morning. But have you ever stopped to think about their power? Stories are either the source of our super powers, or our kryptonite! Welcome to the Love Your Story podcast.

Podcast 000 Welcome to the Love Your Story podcast. Before we get started in our weekly episodes I wanted to introduce myself and this phenomenal podcast so you know who and what you’re listening to. Love Your Story – a podcast about the power of story, how we can use our stories to empower us, and take the prerogative to reframe the stories that hold us back, while celebrating the unique heroic journey we each take. I’m a professional writer and have been for 25 years. I published my first article in an Access Fund newsletter (rock climbing activist newsletter), without payment, the year I graduated from college and was so thrilled that I persisted beyond the future file full of rejection notices to a space of 25 years later having four books published, over a hundred articles on athlete profiles, how-to cook Dutch Oven, which sleeping bag is hot this season, where to hike, snowshoe, find a good yurt, or tackle the top white-water rafting experience in the state of Utah. How does writing for the outdoor recr
