woman in bed sick Voice Note Stories – Season 1 Stories From the Sickbed

Stories From the Sickbed

Short. Real. Unfiltered.

What started as real voice notes I sent to friends while recovering from COVID turned into something more, a series of short, honest, and sometimes dramatic updates that had my friends laughing, worrying, and asking for more.

Season 1 of Voice Note Stories captures that exact moment in time – raw, real-life storytelling in under a minute per episode. Eleven voice notes. One playlist. A glimpse into what happens when a Jamaican woman with a sense of humor and a whole lot of symptoms starts talking.

These stories aren’t edited or polished. They’re full of emotion, code-switching, and cultural context. And while they came out of a tough moment, they laid the foundation for what Voice Note Stories would become: a micro-storytelling format rooted in voice, culture, and connection.

Each episode is under 60 seconds, so perfect for a quick listen.

Listen to episodes in the reverse order of the playlist. Start from the bottom “Ah Kick Like” and work your way up to “Feeling Good”. Trust me you’ll enjoy it better this way. 😉
