Steeped in Storytelling

September is the perfect time for listening to old stories, sequels or remakes. Today in our cozy tea & coffee shop, we’re talking about stories lost and re-found, uncovered and up-cycled. And one particular family recipe… 

My in-laws were in town last week for a family funeral (fuck cancer). And we made a favorite dish together: a rolled pasta soup. The written recipe has been passed down for five generations...

So there’s this local tea & coffee shop where a weird reflective voice actor tends to hang out. Grab a cup! Everyone's welcome at this table. 

Today we’re talking bodies and connection. “You know your body best. I trust your body.” How do we find ways to choose, change, and create environments where we want to steep? We are the authorities of our own bodies! That includes anatomy (sound, air, vibrat...

You wander into your local tea & coffee shop...and find Sarah, a weird and reflective voice actor. Grab a cup! Everyone's welcome at her table.

Today the gab topic is childhood. Oooo there'll be rants about a culture that doesn't value children, parentification, dealing with aging parents (and overcooked broccoli). We'll talk about nostalgia, curiosity (shoutout to Neil deGrasse Tyson), child psychology and neuroscience, whimsi...

Steep a strong cup today! There are tears and deep breaths.

We're talking about repair, connection, trusting ourselves, and breaking free from generational communication expectations. 

"I have to believe there is something after the rupture."

I'll gripe about that one relative who hogs the room at a family dinner and how noisy humans are.  I'll share a few weekly family traditions that began in 2020, pizza tips and short...

We're gonna laugh. We're gonna cry. Because we're talking about grief, broth and cinnamon rolls at this table today. Brew a cup and join me. I'm so glad you're here.

Welcome to the final episode of Steeped in Storytelling season one. I’m your host, Sarah DeLong. Today we reflect on the arc of our season of sound, science, and storytelling; how we begin, how we build, and how we let go. We talk about endings and what they offer us: closure, integration, gratitude, expansion, movement, and transformation.

This is me in a deeply emotional moment while recording episode 10. It's an audio of me crying and utilizing my breath to regulate in a moment of overwhelm. As I was listening back to and editing the episode, I decided this audio needed to be shared in its own file. A year ago, I might not have been brave enough to share for fear of seeming weak and imperfect and messy and human. But I'm proud now. What a remarkable thing that I ca...

I always love watching bloopers and outtakes. And listening to them. It shows how raw and real the creative process is. 

This is me doing some of my warmups before recording episode 10! A silly funny way to get out of my head, into my body, and engaged in the moment. 

In episode 10, we reflect on the arc of our season of sound, science, and storytelling; how we begin, how we build, and how we let go. We talk about en...

Welcome back to Steeped in Storytelling. I’m voiceover artist Sarah DeLong, and I love weaving connections between art and science. 

Today we’re venturing into the tangled garden of narrative ecosystems—how stories live, grow, cross-pollinate, and what happens when we start pruning for profit, predictability, or ease.

Welcome back to Steeped in Storytelling, where each episode we reflect on the beauty of interweaving story, science, and sound.

I’m your host, voiceover artist Sarah DeLong. I come to the mic with experience as an integrative somatic facilitator (a mindfulness guide with training in anatomy, neuroscience, and cultural somatics), a public librarian (no, I didn’t get time to read at work—unless you count storytime),...

Welcome back to Steeped in Storytelling, where every cup is a portal to the interconnected power of story, science, and sound.  

This is an episode about what's fading, how words change, and what we can choose to carry forward. Today we’re sipping a tisane full of berries, mint, rose, and hibiscus.

Welcome back to Steeped in Storytelling, where we uncover the power of story, science, and sound. I’m so glad you’re here. In today’s episode, we’re getting into the very thing I use to speak to you now: the body. More specifically, the story our voice tells, not just through what we say, but how we say it. And how we sound like ourselves.

In this episode, we’re leaning into the magic of storytime, not just as entertainment, but as essential nourishment for growing brains, bodies, and bonds.

We’ll explore how stories shape development, offer regulation, and plant the seeds of identity. We’ll read a bit, play a bit, and remember the power of voices that wrapped us in safety.

Today’s brew is a childhood memory in a cup—light and effervesce...

Today’s cup is earthy, grounding, with a whisper of honeyed wood: ceylon with dried flowers and orange peel.
