Just recently, my friend found herself in a maximum security prison in the US. In a story she told at Sage’s High Stakes Storytelling show she shares the story of her time there and the connections she made with some of the inmates. Continue reading Story: That Time My Friend Went to Prison
Sage and Daegan went out a few times over the past couple of weeks and filmed Sage telling a story in places that relate to what she’s talking about in the story.

I met Sage online back in 1991 and after a very short time we ended up living together. (I’m deliberately being vague here – there’s a story on the way about that…). Together we’ve had a fairly odd life, living in a yurt in the woods for a while, homeschooling, and eventually immigrating to Canada from the US, making good on our promise that “If the Republicans … Continue reading High Stakes Storytelling Podcast Goes Live
