What happens when the stories that shape us are never spoken aloud?
In this episode, I talk with poet Anna Citrino about her book Stories We Didn’t Tell — and the quiet power of the stories families carry but rarely name. We explore silence, belonging, and how poetry gives shape to what lingers beneath the surface. This one is for anyone who’s ever felt an untold story repeating through their life.
What stayed with me most was the idea that understanding ourselves sometimes requires returning to the land, the places, and the people we came from. To recognize the patterns and inheritances that continue to ripple beneath our present-day choices.
“We all have questions. We’re living out a story that we’re not always aware of — and it might be helpful for people to look back at the land, and the place, and the people where they came from.”
