Tiny Tales with Big Truths is a storytelling podcast by Becky Siame, where small moments become doorways into deeper truths. Through intimate personal stories, reflections, and poetic observations, Becky explores the words that shape us, the moments that change us, and the quiet truths hiding inside ordinary life. Each episode begins with something small: a memory, a conversation, a rupture, a realisation, a sentence that stayed. But beneath each tiny tale is a bigger invitation to look again at identity, belonging, healing, language, creativity, and what it means to become more consciously ourselves. This is a podcast for people who feel deeply, think widely, and know that sometimes the smallest stories are the ones that open the largest doors. Tiny Tales with Big Truths. Every small story is a doorway.

    What Happens When Your Worst Fear Comes True And You’re Okay

    We spend so much of our lives organising ourselves around avoiding rejection. Preparing, performing, curating, hoping that if we get it right enough the fear will turn out to have been unnecessary. But what if the goal was never the outcome? What if it was always about whether you could remain yourself inside the process? This is a story about a dance track, a legendary producer, a rap Becky had never written or performed before, and the five sentences that changed everything.

    The Shape of Belonging – Part 3

    What happens when the story finally leaves the body and enters the room? In the final part of The Shape of Belonging, Becky Siame brings this live sonic journey to its emotional centre, where memory, music, voice, and witness become one. After moving through the early ache of belonging, adoption, identity, and the search for self, Part 3 opens into the power of being heard. This episode explores what happens when a private story becomes a shared resonance, when the voice no longer performs for acceptance, but speaks from truth. With spoken word, live music, and intimate reflection, this closing chapter asks what it means to stop searching for belonging outside yourself and begin recognising the shape it has been taking within you all along. This is the moment where the room becomes the echo. Performed live at The Suter Theatre in Nelson, New Zealand, The Shape of Belonging is part memoir, part performance, part sonic ritual.

    The Shape of Belonging – Part 2

    What happens when belonging is not just something we long for, but something our body remembers? In Part 2 of The Shape of Belonging, Becky Siame moves deeper into the story beneath the story, exploring adoption, identity, dislocation, voice, and the quiet ways we learn to shape ourselves around absence, expectation, and survival. This episode asks what it means to grow up searching for a place in the world while carrying questions the world does not always know how to answer. Through spoken word, memory, music, and reflection, Becky traces the tender terrain between being chosen, being displaced, being loved, and still wondering where you truly belong. This is not just a story about adoption. It is a story about the body. About language. About the invisible scripts we inherit. And about the moment we begin to hear our own voice underneath them. Part performance, part memoir, part sonic reflection, this episode continues The Shape of Belonging, previously performed at The Suter Theatre in Nelson, New Zealand.

    The Shape of Belonging – Part 1

    What does belonging feel like before we have the language to explain it? In this first part of The Shape of Belonging, Becky Siame begins with a childhood memory: a five-year-old girl standing in a school choir, visibly different, joyfully expressive, and already learning what it means to take up space in a room that has not quite made sense of her yet. Through story, reflection, and spoken-word performance, this episode opens the doorway into identity, adoption, race, voice, and the quiet scripts that begin shaping us long before we know they are there. This is not just a story about childhood. It is a story about the body’s first questions: Where do I belong? Who sees me? What happens when my presence disrupts the shape of the room?
