  • Story Core is awesome

    Always a good listen. Fair warning though:… Whatever story you hear will be good guaranteed. It may be an inspiring one, or someone’s redemption story. Or maybe a love story. But I’m often moved to tears, or at least eyes start to water lol. Everyone should listen to these people’s stories and start remembering how to connect with other humans!
