Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Power of Stories in Everyday Life

• Personal stories as connection: The hosts share fond memories of childhood bedtime stories, highlighting that storytelling is a lifelong tool for bonding.
  • [02:07] Michelle: “I was trying to get [my son] to read Amelia Bedelia to my daughter, but then everything kind of got out of hand and then it just wasn’t the dream.”
• Humor in expectations vs. reality: Both hosts reflect on family life and how plans often go awry—an experience most listeners can "resonate with."

Introducing the Expression: “Story of my life”

• Definition & Context
  • [03:14] Lindsay: “The expression is story of my life. And here’s where the episode’s gonna veer away from storybooks…and into another way of using the word story.”
  • [04:49] Lindsay: “If I respond with story of my life, it means I’ve experienced the same thing probably many times. I’m very familiar with what you’re telling me.”
• Tone & Nuance:
  • More often used for negative, annoying, or inconvenient experiences (not tragic or positive ones).
    • [05:25] Lindsay: “I would say more—a little more negative or, let’s say, annoying.”
    • [05:34] Michelle: “Something tough...whether it’s really extreme or just a small hindrance.”

Everyday Annoyances: Sample Scenarios

• Common contexts for “story of my life”:
  • Shrinking laundry ([06:11])
  • Getting lost ([06:32])
  • Losing things, being disorganized, frequent doctor visits
  • Being stuck in traffic ([07:05])
• Memorable Quote:
  • [06:11] Lindsay: “I know I did this when I was a teenager, and I still do it sometimes. I’m not better than that. The thing comes out, it looks like a baby’s shirt or something.”

Connection, Not Perfection

• Using “story of my life” goes beyond “me too”—it’s about resonating, creating camaraderie, and sometimes adds a little sass or sarcasm.
  • [07:37] Lindsay: “That’s why this is a connection episode and a connection skill. Because … it’s not just to say, ‘I have that problem, too,’ but it’s to relate to the other person.”
  • [07:47] Michelle: “It’s kind of fun, though, because it has this little sarcastic, little sassy type of undertone … and it’s important to have the right intonation.”

Real-Life Role Plays

• Practicing Intonation:
  • [08:11] Michelle: “Oh, story of my life. I also am guilty of doom scrolling when I should be reading.”
  • [08:39] Lindsay: “Oh, Michelle. Story of my life. I’m surprised I haven’t had to get my car towed for not having any gas.”
• Self-Resonance:
  • [09:33] Michelle: “Story of my life.” (as a response to her own busy schedule)

Conversation Flow & Empathy

• Resonating doesn’t only deepen understanding—it allows the conversation to continue, keeps it lively, and signals empathy.
  • [10:04] Lindsay: “When the person resonates with us, then the conversation can kind of continue on that theme a little bit longer. It’s really about taking cues from what the person says.”

Alternative Expressions for Relating

Hosts present other modern and natural ways to express shared experiences:

• “I can relate.”
  • [12:24] Michelle: “Oh, I can relate. But a lot of the time I am [forgetting something].”
• “Same.”
  • [12:54] Lindsay: “Oh, same. It’s so hard, Michelle.”
• “That’s exactly what happens to me / That’s what it is for me.”
  • [13:45] Michelle: “That’s exactly what happens to me. Especially when I wake up too late.”

Extended Example Role Play ([14:27]–[15:32])

• Situation: Michelle arrives late to a coffee date, having mixed up the day.
• Exchanges:
  • Lindsay: “Oh, it’s okay, Michelle. Story of my life. It’s hard to keep track, especially in the summer.” ([14:44])
  • Michelle: “Oh, I can relate. I missed a get together with my friend and I wasn’t even in town...”
  • Michelle: “That’s exactly what it is for me.”
  • Lindsay: “Oh, same.”

Why It Matters

• Sharing slip-ups and vulnerabilities builds connection and breaks perfectionism.
  • [16:30] Lindsay: “There’s something very human about resonating with what someone else has said … like our brains are so wired for it.”
  • [16:48] Michelle: “Especially in this kind of situation where I’m feeling bad, … it’s showing we’re all human, right?”

Hey there Michelle. How's it going today?

[Michelle Kaplan]

It's going well, Lindsay. How are you? Good.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Michelle, do you, when you were a.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Kid, did you like to read bedtime stories like with your parents? Were there a lot of stories you were always reading at bedtime?

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yeah, yeah, I, I did like to read bedtime stories as a kid and actually just last night we were trying to, trying to do a whole family bedtime story thing but then my, my. So my son knows how to read now.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Oh wow.

[Michelle Kaplan]

And yeah, and so I was trying to get him to read Amelia Bedelia to my daughter, but then everything kind of got out of hand and then it just wasn't, it wasn't the dream.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I, I imagine sometimes you have a plan, an idea and I'm sure our listeners can resonate with this of how things are going to go and it'll be so adorable at all. Yeah, yeah.

[Michelle Kaplan]

But it's okay. So yeah, we try and do some reading. Do a lot of reading around here. Can. But what about you? Did you like to read bedtime?

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah, I remember reading the Polar Express, Some, some favorites. Right? I mean Good Night Moon was always a classic.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Polar Express.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Oh for sure, for sure. But story, I think that's the thing about stories. We like stories throughout our entire lives, not just as children. We tell stories as adults, campfire stories. We lean in when someone is going to tell us a story, especially if they're a good storyteller, right?

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yeah, exactly. So today we're going to actually teach an expression using the word story that can help you relate to someone with a little bit of personality and maybe even a little sarcasm, because it's kind of funny and relatable. Lindsay, what is the expression?

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah. I'm so excited that we're going into this today, Michelle, because it really is everywhere. So the expression is story of my life. Story of my life. And here's where the episode's gonna veer away from storybooks and children's stories and into another way of using the word story. I am excited.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Exactly. Yeah. So, Lindsay, this came up in a recent episode. We did a role play, and we realized it's one of those where we said, oh, that's a good one. Let's do a full episode about this.

[Lindsay McMahon]

That's how you know you're getting real English. Right, Michelle? Is when it comes up naturally.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Exactly. So we're gonna get into this in just a second, but first we want to say thank you so, so much to our reviewers.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Oh, my gosh.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I love it when our listeners take the time to go over to Apple podcasts or Spotify or. Or even in the apps, the Google Play Store or the App Store and leave a review and a rating. So huge. Thank you to you. J. Lee, who left us an amazing 5 star review. Thank you to anyone else who, like wolves is the username there. From China. Five star review. My name is Kimber. Another five star review. So huge.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Thank you.

[Lindsay McMahon]

And also SJ HK from China, who gave us five stars as well, Michelle. Amazing and huge. Thank you to those that took the time. Guys, go over and leave a review and a rating. We'll read your name out loud on the show. All right.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Definitely. Love it. All right, so let's go through this. Yeah. So when somebody says, story of my life.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yes.

[Michelle Kaplan]

What is this mean?

[Lindsay McMahon]

Oh, my gosh. So what this means is that basically someone has said something, and if I respond with story of my life, it means I've experienced the same thing probably many times. I'm very familiar with what you're telling me. Right.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Right. Exactly. It's something that they've experienced enough or. Or so frequently or so strongly they could write a book about it. Right. They could write a story about it.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Lindsay.

[Michelle Kaplan]

But do you. Would you say. I mean, would you say that this is used for more positive pieces of someone life or.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I would say more. A little more negative or let's say annoying. Yeah. Right.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yeah. Annoying.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yes.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Something tough. Annoying. Whether it's something really extreme or just a small hindrance. Right. I wouldn't necessarily say, oh, story of my life for something that's just super positive.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Exactly, exactly. I don't think it's something tragic. Right. It's not.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Right.

[Lindsay McMahon]

You know, true.

[Michelle Kaplan]

So that's another good point.

[Lindsay McMahon]

It's like inconveniences things that just, you know, just trip you up a little bit in life.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Right, Exactly. So. Well, let's give some examples.

[Lindsay McMahon]

What.

[Michelle Kaplan]

What could be one thing. Let's go through some ideas.

[Lindsay McMahon]

We've talked in past episodes. We just did a series on the laundry and we've.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Yes.

[Lindsay McMahon]

We've both shrunk something important. Right. I know I did this when I was a teenager, and I still do it sometimes. I'm not better than that. The thing comes out, it looks like a baby's shirt or something.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Right. Yeah. Like, oh, no. Or getting lost. I could say story of my life about getting lost.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Getting. Yeah. If you don't have a good internal navigation system. This happens a lot when I travel. I'm definitely not the one. Like, my partner always seems to know the orientation of our hotel immediately. Like, I don't know how you're finding the way back to where we're staying. I don't get it. But getting lost, losing things. This is.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yeah.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Annoyances.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Irritating. Yeah.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Or being disorganized or just. Or sometimes if you have to go to a lot of doctors and you're like, kind of. Yeah. You know, any. Anything else you can think of that comes to mind?

[Lindsay McMahon]

Maybe traffic. So if you spend a lot of time sitting in traffic, that could be. That could be. Right. Someone has come to work and they've said, oh, my God, I spent three hours in traffic. Oh, story of my Life on the i5. It was really bad today. Right.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Your resident, right?

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yes, exactly. Yeah. So again, it's generally used as a response to what someone says to relate to them.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Right.

[Michelle Kaplan]

So. And it could also be used when you're sharing something. Comment that this is the story of your life. Yeah. So. Yeah, go ahead.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I was just gonna say that's why this is a connection episode and a connection skill. Because what Michelle said is really important. It's not just to say, I have that problem too, but it's to relate to the other person.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yes, exactly. And it's. And it's kind of fun, though, because it has kind of this little sarcastic, little sassy type of undertone for the sassy Saturday episode. Yeah. And. And then. But it's also important to have the right intonation. Right, Lindsay? How. How would you say this? How would.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah, let's do it. So here we go. I haven't been reading because I get too tired at night.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Oh, story of my life. I also am guilty of doom scrolling when I should be reading.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Y.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Your intonation was kind of very familiar. You're very familiar with what I'm saying. You're really resonating and you're kind of like G. Right.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Story of my life. Story of my life. Right?

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Or here's another mini role play. Oh no, I forgot to get gas. I'll have to stop before I get on the road. I always do this.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Oh, Michelle. Story of my life. I'm surprised I haven't had to get my car towed for not having any gas. Yeah. Has that ever happened to you, Michelle? Have you ever run out of gas on the.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Oh, no, not that. I mean, no, I actually it's funny because yesterday I was just connecting with someone about that topic and I had already written this and I forgot, but yeah, they were telling me, they said I. I coasted on E to work. What does that mean?

[Lindsay McMahon]

Scary. You were on empty. Your gas tank was on empty and basically they didn't really use the gas petal.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yes, right, exactly.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I don't know if I understand how that works. Yeah, yeah.

[Michelle Kaplan]

So yeah, I was just talking about this. So definitely a tech connection topic. Or one more. Let's do another little mini one.

[Lindsay McMahon]

How's it going, Michelle?

[Michelle Kaplan]

It's okay. I've just been so busy getting ready for school.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Oh, I bet.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Story of my life.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Lindsay McMahon]

So this is interesting, right? Because here, like, you're the one who shared the thing and, and so far the examples we've shown the other person responding. Right. And resonating. But here you're just resonating with. You're just furthering what you're saying, right?

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yeah, you're resonating with yourself, but it's still connection. Right. Because you're just emphasizing you're making it stronger, which gets the person to know you better and like, see what's going on in your life. You're sharing.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Exactly. And because I said, oh, I bet you get the hint that I get it. Right on. I didn't have to say story of my life. Then you could continue say, yeah, story of my life. Right. So then that's key because when the person resonates with us, then the conversation can kind of continue on that theme a little bit longer. Right. It's really about taking cues from what.

[Michelle Kaplan]

The Person says, absolutely. Yep. Love it.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Hiring is not just about filling a position in your company. It's about finding someone who will actually drive revenue or improve your business.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Okay, this is good. So we've got a lot of. We've got a few other things we might say, and they are. One of them is very modern too. Right. One of them is I can relate. Right. I can relate. So, for example, I feel like I'm.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Always forgetting something at home.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Oh, I can relate. But a lot of the time I am, so.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Meaning a lot of the time you do forget.

[Narrator/Announcer]

You do.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yeah. It's not just the feeling that I actually do.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I see, I see, I see. I didn't quite get it at first.

[Michelle Kaplan]

But now I get it. Yes. Yes. All right.

[Lindsay McMahon]

What's another?

[Michelle Kaplan]

Another one is just same. Right. I think we've talked about this a little bit. Or you could say, oh, same. Yeah. So I've been eating sweets every day this week. I should focus on eating healthier.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Oh, same. It's so hard, Michelle. So maybe here it's the holiday season and you know, there's always like sweets in front of you in the holiday season. Right. You're always at a party or something.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yeah.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Michelle Kaplan]

So it's funny, I feel that there is always something. It used to feel like, oh, just the holiday season, but now there's always something where there's food.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah. It's just like some sort of party.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Or some sort of. I don't know, maybe it's Something about having kids and like a lot of, you know.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Oh, maybe.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yeah. So anyway, it's kind of true for my life this day.

[Lindsay McMahon]

There's always snacks and sweets around then, right? Yep.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yep, Exactly. Or what's another one?

[Lindsay McMahon]

You could say, that's exactly what happens to me. Or that's what it is for me. So, for example, I've missed the train twice this week.

[Michelle Kaplan]

H. That's exactly what happens to me. Especially when I wake up too late.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Yes.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yes. And so that one is a little more wordy, maybe a little longer to say. But we want to give you guys lots of options here, okay? Yes. Good.

[Michelle Kaplan]

And guys, if you were wondering which episode we used this story of my life on that inspired this episode. Well, we already touched on our laundry series, so this one was actually in episode three, part three of the laundry series. So check out all ears English episode 2487. That was laundry in English part three. Overwhelmed by laundry. Make it a connection moment. So check that one out.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Nice.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Love it.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Michelle, shall we go into a role play to bring all this together into one conversation?

[Michelle Kaplan]

Let's do it. So here we are, friends, and we're supposed to be on a coffee date and. But I just arrived and I'm late.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Okay. Okay, here we go.

[Michelle Kaplan]

I'm late. Okay, here we go. Lindsay, I'm so sorry. I actually thought it was Thursday today and that we were meeting tomorrow.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Oh, it's okay, Michelle. Story of my life. It's hard to keep track, especially in the summer.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Okay, thanks. I got so disorganized.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Oh, I can relate. I missed a get together with my friend and I wasn't even in town, so I couldn't meet her. I felt so bad. I just forget and get distracted.

[Michelle Kaplan]

That's exactly what it is for me.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Once I have more structure, it'll be good.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Oh, same. Yeah.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I bet a lot of parents. Parents feel this way and people feel this way in the summer. Especially if, like, your schedule is a little less structured. Right. Not as.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yes, exactly. You know, when you're. Or do you ever. When you're on vacation, you can't think of what day it is.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Oh, totally. Which is a good thing, I think on vacation, you know, you should forget what day it is, I think.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yeah.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Moments to do that. I'm going on a vacation soon to Norway and I need the vacation.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Whoa. Yeah. Yeah, Definitely. That's so exciting. Yeah. So here we go. You said so it sounds like I totally messed up the day we were meeting and I. You said you used as a connection Moment. You said, oh, it's okay, Michelle. Story of my life.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Exactly. So I'm saying it's okay. And I do that all the time, too. Right. I'm saying this happens to me a lot, too. Being late. Like, you were right. Yes. And then I. And then you say, oh, I get so disorganized, and I say, oh, I can relate. I missed a get together with my friend, and I wasn't even in town. Oh, geez, that's not good, dear.

[Michelle Kaplan]

And then you said, I just forget and get distracted. So I said, that's exactly what it is for me. So that's the lengthier one, but very useful, too.

[Lindsay McMahon]

And then you.

[Narrator/Announcer]

I said, yeah, once I have more.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Structure, it'll be good. And you said, oh, same. Oh, same. Right, That's.

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lindsay McMahon]

There's something very human about resonating with what someone else has said. Like, I think it just. Like our brains are so wired for it, for this feeling of relating to someone else and sharing that you've had that same experience. I feel like there's, like, chemicals that go off or something.

[Michelle Kaplan]

It's true. Yeah.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah.

[Michelle Kaplan]

And especially in this kind of situation where I'm feeling bad, I made a mistake, and you using all of these and kind of saying, you know, it's showing we're all human, right?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Totally.

[Michelle Kaplan]

And we're connecting over that. So these phrases really help us do that.

[Lindsay McMahon]

You got it. All right, so I'm gonna remind our listeners one more time, guys, if you love our show, our style is all about teaching you English.

[Lindsay McMahon]

[Michelle Kaplan]

All right, all right, all right. Well, Lindsay, this was. This was fun. I'm glad we could talk about, you know, just really relating to people and not. Not taking ourselves too serious.

[Lindsay McMahon]

It's so true. We all have our faults, our challenges, our, you know, our mistakes. And so that's how it is. That's how we are. That's what makes us human, right?

[Michelle Kaplan]

Yeah, exactly. Love it. All right, well, thanks for chatting with me about this today. And, guys, we'll talk to you next time.
