In this first episode of The Circle Revolution, Sister Stories founder Gemma Brady shares how a living room gathering became a global movement and why Circle might just be one of the most powerful things we can do in a fractured world.
Welcome to The Circle Revolution, a new podcast from Gemma Brady, founder of Sister Stories, the UK’s leading Circle facilitation school.
In this first episode of Season 1, Gemma shares the personal story behind the Circle movement she’s helped midwife… from a handful of women in her London living room to a global community reclaiming connection, compassion and story-sharing as sacred acts.
We explore:
Why disconnection , not just from each other, but from our own stories , lies at the heart of so much grief, numbness, and burnout.
The moment Gemma sat with women in her living room and realised something ancient was being remembered.
Why Circle isn’t just about “holding space” , but also about cultural repair, nervous system healing,and the radical act of listening.
The deeper mission: to make gathering in Circle as normal as yoga class, and to reclaim communal story-sharing as a sacred, world-changing act.
You’ll also hear a heartfelt invitation to remember your own story and what it might mean to be part of a quiet revolution of belonging.
This podcast is a love letter to those who feel the ache for something more: more presence, more depth, more belonging.
If you feel have felt the stirrings of a quiet call to lead and are curious about the power of Circle, this is for you.
