To mark
World Storytelling Day, Daily Inspired Life is opened our Listening Room ...

An audio storytelling space where you can listen to real-life stories shared in the voices of the people who lived them.

Inspired by the tradition of oral storytelling, these recordings can be played anytime you want to pause and listen.

Why a Listening Room?

Not everyone enjoys or is comfortable writing their story. Not everyone finds reading easy. And some people simply connect more deeply through listening.

Stories don’t live in only one form.

For many, meaning arrives through the sound of a human voice - through pauses, tone, breath, and emotion. Listening can make stories more accessible, more intimate, and sometimes easier to receive.

The Listening Room exists to make space for that.

It offers a different way to reflect upon a story, not only through the page, but through voice. It is a place where stories can be spoken, heard, and witnessed, just as they are.

World Storytelling Day – Light in the Dark

“As the sound moved through me, I saw rebuilding. It felt warm and soothing as I drifted into a sleep of renewal.” ~ Sasha Frugone

Here is a short moment from her story.
Press play and listen.


World Storytelling Day is a global celebration of storytelling and listening, shared across cultures, languages, and borders.

The theme for World Storytelling Day 2026 was Light in the Dark - stories that carry courage, hope, kindness, strength, or quiet clarity while moving through difficult seasons of life.

To honour World Storytelling Day, we opened the Listening Room with an oral story shared in the voice of Sasha Frugone.

Sasha Frugone is a coach and healer who explores how our thoughts, words, and beliefs shape the energy we bring to life’s challenges.

Drawing on more than 40 years of experience, and the tools that supported her own healing from trauma and illness, she now guides others to move beyond fear-based identities and reconnect with peace, creativity, and personal power.

She also brings this wisdom to her work as a professional speaker, writer, and podcast guest, sharing insights on healing, transformation, and living with greater awareness.

Sasha is a talented storyteller and a valued member of the Daily Inspired Life storytelling community.

Her story "I Hang My Monsters on the Door" bears witness to her real-life experience of finding light in the dark.

It is a listening experience designed to slow you down and create connection.
