{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Stories of Ordinary Lives","slug":"storiesofordinarylives","podcastDescription":"In a world fascinated by celebrity and power, ”Stories of Ordinary Lives” takes a refreshingly different path. I believe that the most profound insights and captivating narratives often come from unexpected sources – the people we pass on the street, our neighbours, and individuals in communities around the globe.

My podcast is dedicated to:
1. Uncovering the rich tapestry of human experiences hidden in everyday life.
2. Exploring the surprising commonalities in stories across diverse cultures and backgrounds.
3. Practicing and promoting the art of genuine, active listening, fighting bias and stereotypes.
4. Revealing the extraordinary nature of seemingly ordinary lives.
5. Scaling kindness and moral beauty, inspiring the state of awe.

Each episode features a conversation with someone you’ve likely never heard of – but whose story deserves to be shared. From bustling city dwellers to those in remote villages, I seek out voices that are rarely heard yet deeply compelling.
By focusing on ordinary lives, I challenge the notion that only the famous or powerful have stories worth telling. Our conversations reveal that wisdom, resilience, and inspiration can be found in the most unexpected places.

”Stories of Ordinary Lives” is more than just a podcast – it’s an exploration of our shared humanity and an exercise in empathy. We aim to bridge divides and foster understanding by sharing the diverse yet relatable experiences of people around the world.

Tune in to ”Stories of Ordinary Lives” – where every life tells a tale worth hearing.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/19362651/Artboard_1dfhfnsjfsl8nuw6.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/19362651/Artboard_1dfhfnsjfsl8nuw6_1200x628.jpg?s=82fe148430a09a3e9755f5f6c59328f9&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://storiesofordinarylives.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/storiesofordinarylives/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-mcyry-127735b?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":30,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT+00:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":0,"text":"(GMT+00:00) Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London","daylightStartTime":"Last Sunday of March +1 Hours","daylightEndTime":"Last Sunday Of October +1 Hours","timezone":"Europe/London"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":10,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Just Lucia","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-mcyry-127735b-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stories-of-ordinary-lives/id1766162617","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-mcyry-127735b?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7E1MifVXmZ2hxPnzjcNy0v","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b594a88a-7ecb-409a-85f6-ae4efddad5e1","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/212071892","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3597408","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/stories-of-ordinary-lives-5830721","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/109790","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Monospace Slab Serif"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"PT Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#394372"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
