In this episode of My Story Is Not Unique, Marlenne and Latisha sit down with author and therapist Sam for an honest conversation about childhood trauma, domestic abuse, mental health, and the hidden cost of resilience. Sam shares how she found her voice through writing, learned to redefine her identity, and discovered that healing isn't a destination—it's an ongoing journey.

Because being strong doesn't mean you have to carry everything alone.

🎙️ Stories you know from voices you don't.

What happens when the things that told you who you are get taken away in the same week?

In 2022, Linda lost her father. Her company sent flowers on Tuesday. On Friday, driving home to Canada to make arrangements, she got the call that she was being laid off.

What she reached for was her pen. In this conversation, Linda shares how writing by hand carried her through that moment, and how it led her back to a part of herself she had set down years earlier: the artist, the poet, the storyteller

My Story Is Not Unique: stories you know from voices you don't.

And we’re starting at the starting line.

What happens when you keep asking questions, take the risk, and follow the things that make you curious?

For Maria , somehow the answer includes running marathons around the world… and donkeys.

Yes. Donkeys.

In our Season 2 premiere of My Story Is Not Unique, Maria takes us from her military background to the streets of the London and Berlin Marathons, into her passion for donkeys, and through the opportunities that opened simply because she was willing to ask, “Why not?”

Her story is about more than running.

It’s about curiosity.
It’s about taking the chance.
It’s about challenging those old tapes that tell us what we can and cannot do.
And it’s about realizing that starting over doesn’t have to mean you failed.

Sometimes, you simply get another starting line.

Maria says:

“My story begins today because I feel like I’m always starting over.”

“If she can do it, I can do it.”

“No matter how slow you go, you still get there.”

And next? Tokyo.

Season 2 of My Story Is Not Unique starts with a woman who reminds us that you never really know where your curiosity might take you.
