Storylove is a fun, psycho-spiritual podcast where stories become mirrors & myth becomes medicine. Julie & Laura, midlife best friends in the Bible Belt, explore soul-stirring fiction (especially fantasy), looking for the gold hidden in each hero's journey. Rooted in faith, but challenging religious dogma, they create a space to love God AND great stories - even the ones the church rejects. So if you've ever felt judged in loving fiction, you belong here. Because the truth? It's the stories that move us that can change us the most.
