We are starting our fourth season of "Livin' What You're Given". The rest of 2024, I want to explore the effects of storytelling. In this episode I talk about why our stories matter. They have been given to us so we can share them to encourage other as they walk their stories as well as help others along the way in their own journeys.
I open this season by explaining why this podcast has not been offered for the past several months. In telling the reason for my absence, I have told a story of loss and grief.
In this and subsequent episodes I want to explore where the stories of my guests have gone to help others. Each guest I have invited on, has a unique story of life experiences. I have tried to select diverse stories and encouraging messages around why sharing our story is not only help for others, but for ourselves as well.
Some of the guests on my show this season have been guests before. Some have not. But whether you have heard from them before or not, all their experiences will touch your heart and remind you of the value of sharing stories.

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
