What are the stories you tell yourself about who you are and what you’ve experienced? These stories have incredible power, and too often they turn into limiting beliefs that block you from creating the life you truly want.

In this episode, we explore the stories we tell ourselves, the emotions we experience, and how to notice where you may be limiting yourself financially, in your relationships, or in any other area of your life. You’ll discover how releasing these stories doesn’t erase or invalidate your past; it opens you up to new possibilities right now.

Before we dive in, I’m so excited to share that the She Rises book, which I have co-authored with 12 of my Master Coaches, is out now! To celebrate the launch, I have some exclusive opportunities for you. The book is available on Amazon, and as a launch-day bonus, the Kindle edition is only 99 cents. When you purchase the Kindle edition today, you’ll also receive a free workbook and unlock access to a live 4-week Life Mastery Reset training with me, completely for free. This offer is available today only, so don’t miss it!

Back to our theme: Our brains are meaning-making machines–we go through life and create stories around the interactions we have, imagining what others’ intentions are, what they think about us, and how the treatment we receive relates to who we are. These stories can be good, bad, or somewhere in between, but they all shape how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible.

In the coaching space, there is an emphasis on releasing the stories we tell ourselves. It’s such a powerful concept, but so many of us feel resistance–or even have a negative experience–when it comes to releasing our stories. We’ll discuss the reasons behind why we struggle to let those stories go today, and how to move past that block and experience the benefits of releasing the stories.

Releasing a story doesn't mean you were wrong for what you thought, and it doesn't invalidate your experience. It means you can validate your experience and move beyond the story that creates limiting beliefs. So, what would it take for you to love yourself enough to honor your emotions, allow your feelings to matter as important messages, and release the story that is limiting you from ultimately being, feeling, seeing, achieving, and doing exactly what you want? That’s what we’re going to unlock within you today. Here we go!

What you’ll learn:

3 questions to help you uncover the stories you tell yourself and the impact they have
Why we resist shifting the stories we tell ourselves when we know they aren’t serving us
How our stories from childhood can lead to limiting beliefs as adults
Why releasing the stories we tell ourselves doesn't invalidate feelings or experiences
How stepping into new possibilities after releasing a story requires vulnerability and builds self-trust
