Your Stories Matter

This is the podcast for women who have done the therapy, the courses, the personal development deep-dives — and still find themselves stuck in the same patterns, making decisions from stories they didn't consciously choose.Here's what I know to be true: you don't have a decision problem. You have a story problem.Your Stories Matter is a space where we get honest about the narratives running underneath everything — your confidence, your relationships, your business, your sense of self. And we rewrite them. Not in theory. In real time.I'm Jessica Graham, certified narrative advisor and story coach. I've rebuilt my own story from the ground up — through divorce, identity collapse, and building a business that forced me to face every unhealed thing I thought I'd already dealt with.This podcast is what I wish I'd had during all of it.If you're ready to stop living inside a story that was never really yours — you're in the right place.Subscribe wherever you listen.
