Authentic Musings Podcast hosted by Nancy Li explores the messiness and magnificence of being human through personal and interpersonal stories.
Tune in to explore different “red threads” with Nancy.
“Red thread” exists in multiple forms.
In Playback Theater (improvisational theater based on audience feelings and stories), a “red thread” is the common experience that weaves us together and shapes the arcs of our lives.
An example of a red thread in action: one audience member sharing her feelings about the difficulties of accepting love prompts another audience member to tell a related story – his inability to hug his best friend.
In Nancy’s Chinese cultural heritage, the “red thread” is what binds the fate of two lovers together in fables. It enables two people to meet and connect. This folklore is also in Japanese culture.
In modern times the red thread is represented by a metaphorical red thread on the pinky fingers of the two lovers.
(kinda like a pinky swear :))
Through different red threads, the Authentic Musings Podcast explores various ideas and topics that Nancy has been ruminating upon for a while, sometimes years.
May this podcast, with its red threads and episodes, bring you more discovery, understanding, and connections in your life.
