Stories by:

Shawn Musgrave is a lawyer, journalist, and storyteller whose stories have appeared on the Story Collider podcast and shows around New York City. He lives in Harlem, where he is slowly learning to knit.

Mary Ross is a New York–based comedian and psychology PhD student who performs regularly across NYC. Trained at the Magnet Theater and Upright Citizens Brigade, she has appeared at the Comedy Shop, the Grisly Pear, and the Moth.

Alicia Silver is the Founder and Chief Experience Officer (CXO) of The Silver Lining Experience, a wellness and personal‑development platform rooted in Rest, Clarity, and Alignment. Her work spans restorative hospitality, storytelling, and community experiences designed to help people regulate, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. She spent 30 years in global financial services, building a career defined by precision, pressure, and performance — all while her body was quietly signaling that something was changing. That disconnect between what she projected and what she was actually experiencing became the turning point of her story. Alicia is now writing her debut memoir, drawing from her lived experience navigating invisible illness while rising through global financial services to the role of Director in 2019. She uses storytelling and health‑literacy advocacy to help people recognize the early clues their bodies offer, communicate more clearly with their providers, and move through major transitions without shame. Alicia lives in New Jersey and is a partial empty nester who believes in the power of pausing long enough to hear yourself again. Her mission is to make conversations about health and identity easier, earlier, and more human — one story at a time.

Summer Yang works as a clinical bioinformatician at NYU Langone Health, where she works at the intersection of cancer diagnostics, data, and patient care. Outside of work, she enjoys food adventures, taking care of her plant babies, and exploring the outdoors. Originally from China and now based in New York City, Summer is drawn to storytelling because it creates a space for vulnerability, human connections and offers a chance to experience the many different paths people take through life.
