What happens when the stories you tell yourself are holding you back, you’re stuck in patterns you don’t even realize, and—oh yeah—someone at your local storytelling event casually drops that they met their partner online and started robbing banks together? Yes, really!!
Marley is joined by Michelle Bias, co-founder of Tulsa’s “OK, SO Storyslam”, intergenerational trauma expert, and someone who has spent years helping people rewrite their narratives—sometimes literally, sometimes on stage with a mic in hand. They talk about the wild, hilarious, and heart-wrenching stories people share, why some folks can win a “Storyslam” without even practicing, and how storytelling can actually be a form of therapy (minus the couch and co-pay).
Of course, because it’s Every Day’s A Train Wreck, things take a turn when Michelle explains why we’re all walking around stuck in the same loops from childhood, how tiny moments from the past shape everything, and why pushing through is sometimes the worst thing you can do. And just when Marley thought this episode couldn’t get any better, Michelle reveals how she ended up writing “String Theory”, a book that mirrors the way our memories actually hit us—unexpected, fragmented, and sometimes way too real.
If you’ve ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns (or why you can’t let go of that one thing that happened in third grade), this one’s for you. Hit follow, leave a five-star review, and tell Marley which story from this episode had you thinking “Wait… am I in a loop?”
Michelle Bias is Co-Founder of OK, So Storyslam. She is an Intergenerational Trauma Expert and Systemic Constellations Practitioner, and author of “String Theory, A Life” Michelle holds a master’s degree in transpersonal psychology.
