Episode notes

You know that feeling when you want to change the story in your head? Our brains love stories, and sometimes, facing situations without clear endings, we create our own inner narratives. Learn how to recognize when you're crafting your own stories, and choose a different, more empowering narrative by learning self-compassion and awareness techniques.

“When did I hand over all of my power and all of my strength and all of myself and believe these lies when my intuition had told me that something was wrong?” Andrea – 4:53

Writing and controlling your narrative instead of settling for sabotage means using awareness. Then resilience and confidence, two things that Andrea Owen knows all about. She’s the author of Make Some Noise and the host of the Make Some Noise Podcast who firmly believes that you truly have the power to write your story.

You can create your best life. Manifest the life you want to tell. Become your most authentic self.

“That’s how we connect with each other, by telling our stories.” – Lauren 10:03

Listen, as Andrea provides you with empowering tools to not only stop the inner critic but also create a kind compassionate, nurturing inner voice. She also gives burnt-out type-A moms suggestions for creating that needed pause in your day. Quit caring what anyone thinks. Take care of yourself first!

“Being judge and jury, we’re always going to lose.” – Lauren -13:55
