Description

In this episode, Seb, a Swede living in Lisbon, delves into his experience of performing a deeply personal story about his grandmother, whose influence shaped his interactions and emotional openness. Seb explores the therapeutic power of storytelling and the cultural nuances of Swedish masculinity. The episode highlights the emotional range of life and death, from laughter about his grandmother's quirky habits to the shared tears during her passing. Join us as Seb unpacks the complexities of familial relationships, cultural identity, and the healing process of retelling personal narratives.


Seb has a heart that sings for storytelling and a mind in the sky. He sees storytelling as the glue that connects us on a deeper level–either human to human, or human to nature.
