434 | The Stories That Made Us: How Storytelling Heals Us Through Recipes, Memories & Family Stories That are Passed Down

In this episode, Tyra explores the timeless power of storytelling and why it matters now more than ever. From family photo albums to recipes passed down like secret codes, stories are the glue that keeps our culture, creativity, and connections alive. She shares how journaling, audiobooks, and oral history not only preserve memories but also serve as a gift for future generations. This episode is a reminder that storytime isn’t just for kids, it’s for anyone who wants to stay rooted, inspired, and in touch with what truly matters.This week’s Affirmation is: “My experiences and my voice matter.”Three Biggest Takeaways:Preserve Family and Cultural Heritage: Stories, recipes, and oral histories are irreplaceable parts of our legacy—once they’re lost, they’re gone forever.Storytelling as Self-Care and Growth: Journaling, cooking, or listening to long-form stories engages the mind, strengthens memory, and nurtures creativity.Build Community and Connection: Sharing stories, hosting casual storytelling nights, or engaging in discussions keeps us connected, strengthens empathy, and fosters belonging across generations.ResourcesHey!
