Choosing Self: The Places We Go to Avoid Ourselves
<p>Maybe choosing yourself was never about being untouchable. Maybe it's about learning to be touchable again and sitting with how strange and unfamiliar that feels after years of building a life that didn't require it.</p><p>This episode sits with a pattern that's hard to name because it looks so much like strength. The five-year plan. The morning routine. The one-way ticket. The next city, the next version of you. From the outside, it reads as ambition. From the inside, something is always just slightly out of reach.</p><p>Jess gets honest about the ways avoidance hid inside her independence for years in the jobs she left, the cities she moved through, and the quiet exhaustion of a life lived always one step ahead of stillness.</p><p><br></p><p>Please leave a review and rate the show on the Spotify or Apple Podcast app if you enjoyed this episode.</p><p>Connect on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stor.jess/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a></p><p>Cover art photography by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nergalyoukhana/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Nergal Youkhana</a></p><p>Directed and produced by Jess </p>

The Architecture of Belonging: The intimacy in building a home and coming returning to self
<p>Jess reflects on the idea of home through years of movement across cities, countries, and versions of herself. From Sydney to London, Amsterdam to Spain, she explores how each space shaped her understanding of belonging, not just as a place, but as a feeling, a rhythm, and a relationship.</p><p>Blending personal stories with cultural insight, she unpacks the tension between freedom and stability, independence and community, and what it means to feel held by a space rather than simply pass through it. Through moments of constant motion, quiet reflection, and unexpected grounding, this episode traces the deeper question beneath it all: what are we really searching for when we say we want to feel at home?</p><p>A contemplative exploration of identity, transition, and the evolving nature of belonging in a life lived between places.</p><p><br></p><p>Please leave a review and rate the show on the Spotify or Apple Podcast app if you enjoyed this episode.</p><p>Connect on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stor.jess/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a></p><p>Cover art photography by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nergalyoukhana/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Nergal Youkhana</a></p><p>Directed and produced by Jess </p>

Reconnecting With My Faith in my Healing Era: Surviving my Second Concussion, Spanish hospitals and my First Bike Crash
<p>In this episode, Jess reflects on a quiet, unexpected return to ritual during her time in Spain. Set against the noise of a life in motion, she explores how injury, solitude, and displacement softened something in her, leading her back to spaces she once outgrew.</p><p>This is not a story about religion in the traditional sense, but about rhythm, surrender, and the search for peace in a world that rarely pauses. From Catholic schoolgirl to years of movement, performance, and independence, Jess traces the loss and rediscovery of stillness, and what it means to feel held again, not by certainty, but by presence.</p><p><br></p><p>Please leave a review and rate the show on the Spotify or Apple Podcast app if you enjoyed this episode.</p><p>Connect on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stor.jess/">Instagram</a></p><p>Cover art photography by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nergalyoukhana/">Nergal Youkhana</a></p><p>Directed and produced by Jess Stor</p>
