About your host

Valerie Hunting

I want to highlight how extraordinary people are every day, by creating space for a diverse number of stories. I strongly believe who we are is our greatest accomplishment. Most of us have been conditioned to define our self-worth by caring about how others evaluate our performance in systems we have been forced to participate in. Life is about who you are, not what you’ve done. You don’t need to be extraordinary to matter, you belong just by existing. I want my guests to appreciate who they are by telling their stories, the stories of ordinary notoriety. Stories help us relate to each other, offer connection and pull us out of the illusion that we are alone. I have been fortunate to travel and live in many places and have met some incredible people. By listening to these stories, you will get to meet some of them here and hopefully, be inspired to appreciate who you are and participate more fully in your own story.
