Before becoming a respected force in Hollywood and the right-hand woman to acclaimed director and writer Tim Story, Vicky Story survived a childhood filled with trauma, pain, and unimaginable challenges that shaped the woman she would eventually become. On this deeply personal episode of Out The Fire with Alison Ball, Vicky opens up like never before — sharing the untold story behind her resilience, her healing journey, the emotional scars she carried for years, and how she transformed her pain into purpose. This is not a Hollywood success story. It’s a survival story. Alison and Vicky dive into growing up surrounded by trauma and instability, the emotional impact of childhood pain, and how those experiences shaped her adulthood, relationships, and outlook on life. Vicky also shares what it was like building a life and career alongside acclaimed director Tim Story while learning how to heal, rediscover herself, and finally tell her story publicly.

This series is about more than just cooking. It’s about the moments in life that shape us: grief, joy, waiting, rebuilding, healing, and becoming.
