It’s an invitation to become more aware of the stories we are telling, receiving, and amplifying.

About Our Guest  

Leah Lamb is a storyteller, educator, and the founder of the School for Sacred Storytelling, where she guides conscious creators in using story as a tool for personal healing, creative expression, and collective transformation.

Drawing from her background in theater, filmmaking, wilderness studies, and healing arts, Leah revives storytelling as an ancient practice that connects us to Earth, spirit, and one another. Through her courses, retreats, and community spaces, she has supported over 1,000 participants in unlocking the transformative power of their own narratives.

She is also the creator of The Whale Dreamer and steward of the Whale Dreaming Council, a gathering space exploring relationship, imagination, and collective futures through the consciousness of whales.

What We Explore in This Episode 

In this deeply layered conversation, Aubrey and Leah explore storytelling as a multidimensional practice – one that operates psychologically, spiritually, and culturally all at once.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Story as operating system – The narratives we inherit and repeat shape our reality, often unconsciously.

  • Sacred storytelling – Stories in service to life, connection, and the flourishing of future generations.

  • Mythic language – Symbol, metaphor, and archetype as the language of spirit and the imaginal realm.

  • Discernment of stories – Not all stories are trustworthy; sacred stories carry an arc that brings us home.

  • Community & coherence – Stories of care, resilience, and interdependence as foundations for new worlds.

This episode is an invitation to become more conscious of the stories we are living inside of. To ask:

What am I in service to?
What stories am I amplifying?
And what futures are those stories shaping?

Because the future is not only built through action. It is spoken, imagined, and remembered into being.

With Love and Gratitude, 
Aubrey Morgan Yee
