more than my story
from the ash gracie podcast Hosted by anoushka hem
in this episode of the quiet fire, i wanted to explore what it feels like when people become fascinated by your story before they truly engage with your work. our backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences shape who we are, and they deserve to be honoured, but they are only one part of a much larger picture. this conversation reflects on the balance between embracing the experiences that have influenced us and resisting the pressure to let them become the only lens through which we’re seen. if you’ve ever felt reduced to a single narrative, expected to represent something bigger than yourself, or wished people would look beyond your story to the work you’re creating, this episode is a reminder that your past can inform your voice without defining your entire identity. your story matters, but so do your ideas, your craft, and the future you’re building.
