#604: The Story and The Narrative
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I am sharing a reframe of the story vs. the narrative of the story. The story is the story, it is the details of the event, simply the facts. The facts have no emotion, no bearing, no personal responsibility, blame, or meaning behind them. The narrative of the story is what creates the problem that keeps us stuck in a loop of a story that we don’t want to be in. In today’s episode, we discuss: 1) The story is the facts, and bringing yourself back to the facts allows you to stick to the facts. When we are in a more neutral emotional and energetic...

info_outlineIn this episode I am sharing thoughts on the moments in life that define you and a different spin on these moments.
In today’s episode we discuss:
1) The typical moments include graduation, your first house or apartment, falling in love and getting married, seeing loved ones pass, fighting illnesses, memorable trips, finding success, or experiencing failure. What it’s more about is how you show up in these moments, how you handle them not working or how you work through adversity.
2) I recently interviewed a mom who lost her 21 year old son, she is currently writing a book on reflecting on life and growing through grief and she shared how it is our Pattern Interrupter moments that define us, how do you handle an adversity, how do you move through the challenge, and who can you become in the process. Life isn’t about checking the boxes, it is about building your legacy and knowing you lived. The little things become the big things.
3) More is said about our character in the moments that are not going as planned, when we are not “winning” than when everything is going our way.
