In this episode, I’m sharing my perspective on story ownership and posing the question: who actually interpreted your story the first time it happened? Because I promise you, it wasn't the you sitting here today. It was a younger, less-equipped version of you, making meaning with zero tools and zero perspective. And you've been carrying that meaning around like it's fact ever since. No hate, no shame. It just deserves acknowledgement.
I’m walking you through a reframe you can do on your own story right now, plus why so many women hit a full reckoning in their 40s and 50s (hint: your soul stops letting you ignore her).
So be sure to have something to take notes because you’ll want to take these ideas into your next reflective journaling, aka narrative writing session.
You'll take away:
Why you're not responsible for how someone receives your story, and why that means you can stop overthinking how you share yours
How to spot when people-pleasing is really about outsourcing your worthiness to everyone but you
A simple practice for reframing an old story so it stops feeling like a fact and starts feeling like something you get to rewrite
Why the hardest part isn't the awakening itself. It's living out who you become after it (so you're not blindsided when it gets messy)
