There’s the story people know—and then there’s the story beneath it.
The Story Beneath is a podcast about the experiences, relationships, turning points and patterns that shape who we become. It explores what can exist underneath a capable, successful life: the survival strategies, expectations, unspoken feelings and choices that may have helped us keep going, but may no longer fit who we are becoming.
Hosted by Susanne Cookson—an entrepreneur, storyteller and former healthcare executive—the podcast began with a deeply personal question: How did I become the woman I am today?
Season One begins with Susanne’s own story, from learning to survive and becoming “the strong one” to building a successful career, navigating relationships, setting boundaries and learning to choose differently.
The first season starts with Susanne’s story, but the larger vision is to create a place for all of our stories—through honest conversations that help us understand what shaped us and imagine what might come next.
Because there’s always more to the story.
