Live A Meaningful Story
Welcome to the Live A Meaningful Story Podcast, where we connect the movies we love with the stories we live. We are four friends with different backgrounds who love watching movies and conversing about their deeper meanings. Each week, we discuss a film, wrestling with how its story, characters, settings, genres, and themes connect to the stories we find ourselves living. We often relate these films to principles found in Narrative Therapy and our Christian faith. Through this podcast, you will gain insight and appreciation for all kinds of stories, including your own. You will also be encouraged to reflect on your own life, and how to live with a greater sense of purpose. Join us as we make sense of our lives, one film at a time. Hosted by Derrick Hatch, a Storytelling Coach, Narrative Practitioner, and speaker. Co-hosted by award-winning filmmaker and movie buff Nick Natale, teacher and stop-motion filmmaker Joseph Wilson, and life-skills educator Jason Lynn. All Things Narrative exists to guide you towards telling and living your story more meaningfully.

In our final installment of Narrative 101, Derrick discusses the trendy topic of deconstruction. Is it just post-modern nonsense? Or is it a helpful way of evaluating how narratives are shaping us and why we truly believe what we believe? Derrick shares his story of deconstructing his faith, and ultimately how to pair deconstruction with reconstruction.

It's time to jump back into our conversation about Derrick's favorite collection of films: Studio Ghibli, Japan's most influential animation studio. With their focus on strong female protagonist coming-of-age stories, along with themes of environmentalism and war, Studio Ghibli has earned a global reputation for creating beautiful works of animation for all ages that stand the test of time. Derrick's wife Tori joins the discussion to chronicle their journey of watching every Studio Ghibli film in order (and for the first time). We also share our perspectives as parents on what these films offer young people. Join us as we explore how this collection of diverse films became among our all-time favorites.

We're back with another exciting panel featuring some of my fellow colleagues in the field of Narrative Practices. This all-star line-up includes Narrative Therapist Emily Bostrom, Narrative Social Worker Sarah Houston, and writer and Narrative Practitioner Andrea Wilson. Together, we discuss the power of language in our lives, and how to give that power back to the people we work with.
Emily Bostrom loves people and their stories. She lives in western Canada surrounded by forest, rivers and lakes. Her website is www.innergravity.ca
Sarah Houston lives with her partner and two sons in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The traditional custodians of this beautiful land were the nations that make up the Blackfoot Confederacy. She is a registered Social Worker and current student in the Masters of Narrative Therapy and Community Work program. She is interested in opportunities to make space for voices with lived experience and the power of collective documents.
In summer 2022, Andrea Wilson was the narrative therapist in residence for TendHer, a program of mental resilience for 1000+ women across Iowa. She recently taught an Iowa Writers' House workshop on Narrative therapy and memoir writing with famed memoirist, Hope Edelman.
