Meet Jake, a narrative therapist and family history enthusiast, on this episode of The Rewind! Kriti has collaborated with him on his storytelling projects since 2022 – but it turns out that Sara and Jake have plenty in common. (Are they long-lost cousins?) We chat about his journey from the US to Australia, genealogy and resilience, building communities rooted in connection, and, of course, the TRULY important things: Schitt’s Creek, peanut butter cups, Meryl Streep, cuddly chickens, and the names we wish we had. Join us on an insightful and slightly existential deep dive into history and the legacies we hope to build, one story at a time.
