Second Nature Stories - B4 Community Storytellers

Before storytelling becomes second nature, we need to build the habit. That's what Second Nature Stories is all about - helping you build actions into your everyday to make storytelling feel easier and more automatic, so you can do what you do better and for more impact.

We're on a mission to make it easy for informal influencers, community leaders, and people working in or around the 'early years' to use simple - yet highly influential - conversational stories to improve their community’s knowledge about what children need in those early years - from conception through to 4 years old - the time ‘before’ school.

Each episode host Penny Terry finds new ideas, experts, stories, techniques and people to help build your storytelling muscle. It's one of the many resources of the B4 Community Storytellers - Community of Practice*.
