About this episode
The holidays are full of stories, laughter, and maybe a little disagreement. Ever try telling a story and hear someone say, “That’s not what happened!”? There’s actually science behind it. Dr. Signy Sheldon, a psychologist at McGill University, explains why our memories differ, how they shift over time, and shares tips for telling stories that connect—without sparking family debate.
