Have you ever felt paralyzed by overthinking, unsure why you can’t seem to move forward? Chances are, it’s not the facts of your life holding you back, it’s the story you’re telling yourself about those facts.

In this episode, I talk about the difference between facts and story and how your brain’s tendency to fill in the gaps with limiting narratives can keep you stuck. I unpack why stories are so powerful, why they often work against us, and how to rewrite the ones that don’t serve you.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, this episode will give you actionable tools to separate facts from story, rewrite your internal narrative, and take bold, aligned action toward your goals.
