Building Resilience Releasing the Story That Kept You Safe (But Keeps You Stuck)
What if the story that once kept you safe is now keeping you stuck?
In this final episode of the ReStory Yourself series, Leah Davidson guides you through how to release the old narratives that no longer serve you, not by ignoring them or forcing positivity, but through compassion, nervous system regulation, and embodied practice.
Leah introduces her powerful GRACE framework, a step-by-step process to help you acknowledge your past, integrate your lessons, and consciously author a new story that feels safe, grounded, and alive in your body.
Through gratitude, recognition, acceptance, choice, and embodiment, you’ll learn to loosen your grip on outdated survival stories and start living from a place of presence and possibility.
If you’ve ever felt defined by your past or caught in repeating patterns of self-protection, this episode will help you remember: your story isn’t over, you are the author now.
We’ll explore:
- Why releasing an old story isn’t about erasing the past, it’s about reclaiming your future.
- How your nervous system stores not just events, but the stories you tell about them.
- The five steps of the GRACE process and how to apply them in daily life.
- Why embodiment, not just awareness, is key to lasting change.
- Simple ways to integrate your new story through micro-reminders, movement, and reflection.
