SPOILER ALERT: Please watch In & Of Itself on Hulu before listening to this episode. After watching Derek Delgaudio's In & Of Itself on Hulu, Hillary begins to question whether or not storytelling an illusion of identity. Plus she regrets not having the foresight to see In & Of Itself when it was Off-Broadway in New York City. In hopes of making up for the lost experience, Hillary interviews Priya Ollapally Wellington, an audience member from when the show was Off-Broadway at the Daryl Roth theater. Priya shares her experience of selecting her I AM card and they talk about magic, identity, and how storytelling plays a part. A huge thanks to Priya Ollapally Wellington for having this conversation.

Hillary explores how being an only child and being alone are two completely different ways of being. You can't choose to be an only child but you can choose whether or not you are alone and whether or not there are family stories worth telling. Plus, Chapter Five of Millicent Wimbleberry: The Early Years is a dramatic, fictional story about Hillary's real life cousin. (All of the names have been changed to protect the innocent.) And yes, there is another David Whyte quote to enjoy. Dear Listener,Make sure you listen to all of the previous Season 3 episodes for listening to this one.
