My Story Is Not Unique: An Open Invitation, An If and When You Are Ready 

We want to begin by saying : we admire the courage it takes to share your stories. The stories held here matter. They reflect truth, resilience, and care for yourselves and for others who may recognize their own experiences in yours. Stories like these deserve to be witnessed and, when chosen, given space beyond silence.

We’re gently sharing an optional invitation from the podcast My Story Is Not Unique, a long-form storytelling space created for people to speak in their own voice, on their own terms.

Using our voice can be a single moment, and it can also be a series of choices made over time. Some people speak once. Others return to their story later, from a different place. There is no right timeline, no obligation to share everything, and no expectation to relive what was painful.

If you feel called, now or at some point in the future, you’re welcome to reach out to the podcast team to explore whether sharing your story in an audio format feels right for you. Many guests choose to focus not only on what happened, but on how they made sense of it, how they healed, or how they moved forward. All of that is honored.

A few important things to know:

  • This invitation is entirely optional
  • No identifying information is being shared from this site, and no one will be contacted directly
  • You remain in full control of what you share and how much you share
  • Speaking is a choice; choosing not to speak is equally valid

Your story already holds power. This is simply an open door for those who wish to use their voice now or later in a way that feels aligned. If you feel that moment is now, please reach out to our community email address below.

    I saw Citi posted record earnings today. Good for them. Anyone, like me, who chooses to work at a bank is a capitalist so no judgment. That said, it’s fair to ask whether the firm might be even more successful if it reinvested just some of those profits into meaningfully improving its culture, rather than…

    Over 23 years at Citibank, this Managing Director has perfected a technique for removing targeted employees from impact long before they’re shown the door. The method is simple: quietly strip away their workload, redirect it toward favored staff, and systematically deny them the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities. By the time restructuring or layoffs arrive,…

    I was a Managing Director at Citi and when a significant promotion was available, it was given to a male who was a Director, a more junior title at Citi than Managing Director. By Citi’s own standards, I was senior to this male. I had to report to the male, who had less seniority and…
