What's Your Story? A podcast series exploring the everyday extraordinary.

My guest this week is Samantha Porciello; Writer, Children's Story Teller & Artistic Director of the children's theatre company "Place To Wonder".
Samantha left home in Toronto, Canada when she was 10 years old and travelled with her Mum to Northern Ireland to find solace in a war zone.
This conversation is full of inspiration, authenticity, and rawness and we get to hear the Love Letter, if you have any thread of connection to Northern Ireland you won’t want to miss this one.
Enjoy!
