You don't have to live by the lies you've believed—this episode is all about rewriting the story you tell yourself.We all carry stories—about our worth, our identity, and our place in the world. But what if the story playing in your head isn't the one God's telling?In this episode, we confront the lies that sneak into our self-talk: • Feeling like you're not enough • Giving without getting anything back • Letting assumptions shape your relationships • Missing the small moments that could shift everythingAnd most importantly—we talk about how God's grace rewrites the script.If you've ever struggled with shame, comparison, or feeling unseen, this one's for you.

Ageless Athlete - Fireside Chats with Adventure Sports Icons
Physiotherapist and coach Andy McVittie returns to the podcast for a deeper dive into the aging body — what breaks down, why it happens, and how to keep moving through it all.In this episode, we move from big-picture thinking to the specific joints and patterns that affect everyday athletes most: shoulders, elbows, fingers, and knees. Andy shares how to work around pain, when to push and when to pull back, and how aging athletes can train with purpose — not fear.We also explore unexpected territory: – Are sleep positions actually causing injury? – What's the mental toll of chronic pain or long-term rehab? – How can we shift from frustration to gratitude when our bodies don't move like they used to?Whether you're an aging athlete, a weekend warrior, or just trying to stay active without breaking down, this one is packed with insights that go beyond rehab — and into how we relate to our bodies over time.
Send us a textWhat drives a journalist to tell the stories that matter most? In this episode of Talking Impact, we sit down with Joelle Tomlinson, journalist, keynote speaker, and mental health advocate, to explore her journey through the world of media, the challenges of representation, and the power of storytelling in shaping change. From navigating personal loss to using her platform for advocacy, Joelle shares powerful insights on resilience, purpose, and the impact of human-driven narratives. Tune in for an inspiring conversation on why the stories we tell, and who tells them, matter.
How do you grapple with national history, legacy, and the stories you tell yourself? Clint Smith is the author of the narrative nonfiction, How the Word is Passed, and the poetry collection, Above Ground. Clint joins Chris to talk about the cognitive dissonances that shaped American history. From understanding the complexities of Thomas Jefferson, who wrote “all men are created equal” while enslaving over 600 people – to reflecting on growing up in New Orleans – a major site for domestic slave trades, Clint urges you to examine historical contradictions. He also discusses his love for poetry and why it's crucial to teach joyous moments in Black history too. So students won't see slavery and Jim Crow as the totality of the black historical experience but can envision themselves of possibilities beyond subjugation.FollowHost: Chris Duffy (@chrisiduffy | chrisduffycomedy.com)Guest: Clint Smith (Instagram: @clintsmithiii | clintsmithiii.com) LinksAbove GroundHow the Word Is PassedSubscribe to TED Instagram: @tedYouTube: @TEDTikTok: @tedtoksLinkedIn: @ted-conferencesWebsite: ted.comPodcasts: ted.com/podcastsFor the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscripts Hosted on Acast.

£2 trillion was wiped from the world's stock markets last week.Economist's estimate that the cost of Donald Trump's tariffs will be $1 trillion. If you ever believe you alone can't make a difference, consider the impact of Mr Trump. One man creating worldwide havoc financially and diplomatically. Millions of Americans think he's just what America needs.Billions around the world think he's nuts. And dangerous. But the point is, all the upheaval, uncertainty and anxiety is created by a narrative.Every day in our workplaces and families we operate on narratives.Whether it's to fight a war. To work from home or the office. Or to eat your veg and get up at 5am.It's all a narrative.Some are true and positive. Some are dangerous dogma. But we all work from a narrative.Friction in our relationships and our workflows have a cost.That cost is because the narrative we work on isn't true. When people protest at Tesla and in the streets, it's a reaction to not being told the truth. Humans have a built in BS radar for lies and they retaliate.Sometimes with violence and sometimes by quietly disengaging.Some lies are agreed. Some are manipulative. And some are borne from ignorance.The money today doesn't go to the people who do the work.It goes to the people who create the narrative for the people who do the work. Most of us today are knowledge workers. We play our part in creating that narrative.Creating a better narrative is the most valuable activity of our time.In this podcast episode Clark Ray, Tony Walmsley and I discussed the importance of narratives.

Join Fr. Jacob and Fr. Mike as they explore the power of the stories we tell—about others and ourselves. Inspired by Ignatius' Annotation 22 and Fr. Jacob's recent read, Viper's Tongue, this thought-provoking discussion dives into how our perceptions shape relationships, influence motives, and impact the narratives others create about us and our narratives about others.
On the Media's Brooke Gladstone was our guest for a live Selected Shorts event, and this week, host Meg Wolitzer presents some of the stories Gladstone chose. They all explore the theme of tales we tell ourselves—and others. The title says it all in Mary Gordon's “My Podiatrist Tells Me a Story about a Boy and a Dog” read by Bebe Neuwirth and Richard Masur. Two imaginative cooks reinvent themselves in a new country in Meron Hadero's “A Down Home Meal for These Difficult Times,” read by Chinasa Ogbuagu. And a child imagines an absent parent through her postcards in “Love, Your Only Mother” by David Michael Kaplan, read by Bebe Neuwirth.
Hey, gorgeous! Have you ever felt that tight knot in your stomach but couldn't quite figure out why? In this episode, I take you through my personal process of unpacking emotions, identifying hidden beliefs, and releasing old patterns that no longer serve us. Instead of ignoring these feelings, we can use them as a guide to uncover what's really going on beneath the surface. I share how past conditioning—whether from childhood, society, or even past lives—can shape our emotional reactions today. We'll dive into recognizing emotional triggers, understanding their deeper meaning, and shifting limiting beliefs into something more empowering. Through my own experience, I explore why so many of us automatically assume we've done something wrong or that we're inconveniencing others—when in reality, it's just an outdated belief running in the background. This episode is for you if you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, self-doubt, or fear of speaking up. I'll walk you through my step-by-step method for processing emotions, questioning old beliefs, and embracing a new, more confident way of being. Because life is too fabulous to be held back by outdated programming! What I'm Sharing in This Episode: ✔️ Emotional knots often stem from old stories, not present realities.✔️ Identifying where emotions show up in your body can reveal deeper insights.✔️ Questioning beliefs—“Is this mine or someone else's?”—can be transformational.✔️ It's safe to speak up, set boundaries, and prioritize your needs.✔️ Having a structured way to process emotions makes a huge difference. If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review, send me a message, or share it with someone who needs a little reminder that they are fabulous just as they are. Until next time, hugs, happiness, and keep being fabulous!
Send us a textEver wonder why you react a certain way in relationships? Your subconscious core beliefs might be running the show without you even realizing it!We sat down with Debbie Caudle, licensed therapist in the COG, to talk about how these hidden beliefs shape our interactions - and how to rewrite the ones that aren't serving us.
We all have an inner dialogue. But it's too easy to take the stories we tell ourselves, about our kids, our parenting, and what's going to happen next, to start feeling like facts. In this episode, Seth and I explore how our narratives can quietly shape our reactions, expectations, and ultimately our relationships with our teens and young adults.“We have to remember that almost everything we think is a narrative. … All narratives can change” - Beth HillmanWhen a child returns home from treatment, it's common for parents to fall into old mental scripts: I'll have to clean for them. They won't wake up on their own. If I don't do X, they'll never Y. These stories often stem from real past experiences, so it's no wonder they feel true. But that doesn't mean they are. Let's talk about how to recognize these narratives, examine whether they're still serving your family, and explore how to shift them.If you're feeling stuck in patterns or assumptions about your teen or young adult, this episode offers a compassionate and practical way to loosen their grip and make room for something new.In this episode on challenging our inner dialogue as parents, we cover:The difference between narrative and fact, and how to tell them apart;Why parents often get stuck in old stories, even when growth is happening;The unconscious beliefs you may be carrying about what a good parent "should" do;What narratives your struggling child may be believing about themselves;A practical exercise for surfacing your limiting beliefs as a parent;The key question to regularly ask yourself;And more.Looking for support?
Adam Griffin, Chelsea Griffin, and Cassie Bryant discuss how the stories we tell ourselves have an impact on our marriage.Questions Covered in This Episode:What comes to mind when you hear the phrase, “I was telling myself a different story”? Are there any persistent false narratives that tend to repeat themselves in a marriage?How does our personal history shape the stories we tell ourselves? How does making assumptions about our spouse hurt our relationship? What does it mean to take our thoughts captive (2 Corinthians 10:5)? If false stories thrive in the dark, what should we do with them?Is it possible to not be defensive when someone shares the assumption they made about you?Resources Mentioned in this Episode:2 Corinthians 10:5 Sponsors:To learn more about our sponsors please visit our website.Follow Us:Instagram | Facebook | TwitterOur Sister Shows:Knowing Faith | Tiny TheologiansThe Family Discipleship Podcast is a podcast of Training the Church.

Episode 141: Money, Power & The Stories We Tell Ourselves with Laura Corbiani Money. Power. Self-worth. For so many of us—especially women—these words feel loaded. We've absorbed messages about money from a young age, often without realizing it. Some of us were taught that talking about money is rude or greedy. Others internalized the belief that wanting more meant taking from someone else. But what if talking about money openly could actually be empowering? In this week's episode of The Innovative Therapist Podcast, I sat down with Certified Financial Planner Laura Corbiani to dive deep into the mindset blocks, money scripts, and hidden narratives that keep so many of us stuck. Money, Power, and the Stories We Carry Laura and I have been talking for a while about having this conversation because, let's be real—money stress feels higher than ever. This episode is the first in a two-part series where we focus on:
In this thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Theophilus "Theo" Brown to unpack the stories we often misunderstand—from biblical narratives to fairy tales and even The Lion King. We discuss the dangers of romanticizing scripture, the influence of social media extremism, and how identity shapes our worldview. Theo shares his journey of adapting from the Marine Corps to the Army and how it deepened his perspective on culture and belonging. We also dive into televangelism, democracy's limitations, and why memes might just be the universal language of our time.Tune in for a deep, honest, and sometimes humorous conversation about faith, culture, and the stories that shape us.

On today's episode I chat with Jodie Benveniste, an IFS-trained psychologist and author. Through her personal healing journey using IFS she discovered how fiction writing and storytelling can be a powerful path to self-understanding and emotional healing. Jodie and I talk about her debut novel, Never, Not Ever, a YA romance that integrates IFS therapy into the story. We explore how fiction can serve as a safe space for transformation, why romance novels tap into Self Energy, and how the creative process mirrors the IFS journey. This conversation is all about the power of stories—both the ones we tell ourselves and the ones we read. I think you're going to love it! Key Takeaways: “Parts all have stories, don't they?” Jodie shares how working with her parts allowed her to embrace fiction writing and how characters in a novel are not so different from the inner characters we meet in IFS. How does storytelling create a safe container for healing? Story is a powerful adjunct to IFS therapy “I had a teen part who made me watch a rom-com 20 times!” -- How reconnecting with her younger parts helped shape her writing process. Teen fiction can support adult mental health, too! Why romance is the world's most popular genre—and how it invites readers to expand their hearts and tap into Self Energy. What can we learn from the stories our parts tell us? Jodie and I reflect on how parts hold onto old narratives and how fiction can help us imagine new possibilities. How fiction can invite teens to learn about and explore mental health topics, destigmatizing therapy and showing how healing happens. Favorite Quote: "So, to me, the healing process is story-based, and it is imaginative. At the core of healing is a reimagining. And that's what we can do with story." – Jodie Benveniste About Jodie: Jodie Benveniste is an author and psychologist who writes heart-expanding young adult contemporary romance. She writes about love and friendships, family relationships, wellbeing, and mental health healing, introducing readers to their amazing inner world and its incredible depths. She's been a psychologist in private practice, trusted parenting expert, organizational consultant, academic researcher, and Chair of the Board of an Independent School. But, at heart, she's always been a writer. She now writes entertaining, unputdownable and heart-expanding fiction that has healing at its heart.

In this episode, we explore the complexities of adoption, privilege, and the narratives that shape our understanding of family. Through personal stories and critical reflections, we unpack the ways in which adoption is often framed as an unquestionable good while overlooking the systemic issues at play. We discuss the intersection of race, class, and power in adoption, the impact on adoptees, and the importance of centering their voices. This conversation challenges dominant narratives and invites listeners to consider the broader implications of adoption beyond individual experiences.
Our relationship with food is shaped by childhood experiences, culture, and emotions—often in ways we don't even realize. In this episode of The Healthi Life, Community Leader Ashley unpacks the hidden food narratives that hold us back and shares how to rewrite them for a healthier, more balanced approach to eating.
In part two of this deep dive, Lauren and Trey challenge the narratives shaping the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni case. Lauren refutes the idea that "once a cheater, always a cheater," while Trey shares his teenage Nickelodeon stardom experience—including a moment on set with Blake Lively. They explore trust, attraction, and power, with Lauren questioning if she would have reason to fear if Trey worked alongside a beautiful, dynamic woman who had done the work. Trey asks Lauren's take on Baldoni's and Lively's character, and Lauren introduces Elizabeth Lesser's "Old Story vs. New Story Power," reimagining how this conversation could shift with a new perspective. Trey reflects on why these stories captivate him—and us.

On this week's Thursday's Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about the stories we tell ourselves - the ones that shape our beliefs, actions, and ultimately, our lives.Many of these narratives stem from childhood experiences, societal expectations, or past failures. While some empower us, others hold us back.But when we take a step back and challenge these stories, we often realise they're not absolute truths—just perspectives we've adopted along the way.The good news? We have the power to rewrite our own stories and create a future that truly aligns with who we are.We hope you find something useful in here.Love,Polly & Lucy xxTo find out more about my membership The Inner Space go to: https://www.pollywarren.com/theinnerspaceEmail me at: info@pollywarren.comhttps://www.pollywarren.com/https://www.instagram.com/pollywarrencoaching/

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms
This Deep Dive series is about reflecting on our trajectories as mothers - looking back, reflecting on where we are now, and thinking about the future. Listen to the whole playlist on Spotify. We are the protagonist in our own story, but what happens when we become the antagonist in stories we weren't even aware of? Or when we assign antagonist roles to unsuspecting partners or kids? Amy and Margaret discuss why we as humans need to tell ourselves stories, when the stories we tell ourselves might stop serving us, and how we can change the stories we tell ourselves. In this episode, Amy and Margaret discuss: why our brains are willing to ignore what doesn't fit our preconceived narratives the concept of cognitive mediation, which is how stories are created "taking things less personally" and the better approach to avoid feeling wounded by others' stories how to rediscover the agency we have over the stories we tell ourselves Here are links to the resources mentioned in the episode: Esther Perel: How the Stories We Tell Ourselves Can Make or Break Us Kyle Benson for The Gottman Institute: There Are Two Views to Every Conflict and Both Are Valid Carl Alviani for Medium: The Science Behind Storytelling Kendall Haven: Your Brain on Story We love the sponsors that make this show possible!

Are the stories we tell ourselves keeping us stuck in fear, doubt, or self-sabotage? Are they holding us back and preventing us from opportunities, relationships or truly understanding ourselves? On this week's episode, we're diving into the power of our internal stories. Everything from the truths, the lies, and the biases that shape them. Now let's consider, how do we rewrite our stories? Maybe you know from experience, or maybe it's something that feels like a work in progress. What's that belief you know you need to unlearn? Leave us your comments below! We always love hearing from you!
Have you ever stopped to consider how the stories you tell—about yourself, about others, about the world—shape your reality? In this episode, I sit down with the insightful Adele Fedorak to explore story intelligence—a powerful concept that goes beyond storytelling and into the very fabric of how we perceive and navigate life.Adele has spent over 30 years immersed in the art and science of story. Through her work coaching professional women and leading small, curated "story pods," she helps people uncover, refine, and reshape their narratives in ways that bring greater clarity, confidence, and connection.Together, we dive into how heightened awareness of our stories can transform our understanding of self and others, why cognitive bias keeps us locked in certain perspectives, and how we can develop the ability to hold multiple truths at once.

First aired in August 2024 In this episode of Midlife Crisis to a Centered Life Thriving, Dr. Natalie explores the concept of how the story we tell ourselves is influential in shaping our lives. Using a post from Dr. Nicole LePera (@the.holistic.psychologist) as a framework, she shares personal experiences and examples from clients to illustrate how the narratives we believe about ourselves can impact our well-being. The importance of shifting these narratives and prioritizing self-care is emphasized as a means to overcome burnout and find fulfillment. The conversation highlights the power of rewriting our stories and reframing our perspectives to create a more centered and thriving life.

Hey Change Maker, Does this sound familiar? The meeting starts like it always does—polite exchanges, someone cracking a joke to loosen the tension. The agenda is clear, and the goals are ambitious. You should leave this room feeling energized, aligned, ready to move forward. But halfway through, it's obvious: something's missing. Ideas get lost in translation. Questions stay unasked. People agree, but you can't help but notice the hesitation. You know the work your team is capable of—you've seen it—but these moments of disconnection feel like a weight, holding everything back. And then, the patterns emerge. It's the unspoken dynamics. The hesitation to trust. The stories people tell themselves about their place in the room—about you, about the work, about each other. It's nothing anyone says outright, but it shapes everything. “Your brain is always trying to categorize: is this person, this moment, a reward or a threat? Those split-second assumptions? They shape trust, communication, and collaboration before you even realize it.” This week on Impact Innovators, Christina Blacken reveals how these unseen dynamics affect everything you're building. She'll guide you through how to surface and rewrite the stories holding your team back—creating trust, connection, and a foundation for the year ahead. You'll learn: How unconscious biases show up in team dynamics and how to shift them. The power of story rituals and how they shape organizational culture. Christina's three-step framework—awareness, attunement, and action—for rewriting the narratives holding your team back.

Are the stories you tell yourself holding you back? In this episode, we dive into the narratives and agreements that shape our lives—often formed in childhood through societal, cultural, and familial influences. These stories can empower us, but when rooted in fear or self-doubt, they turn into limiting beliefs that hold us back. What You'll Learn: How early experiences contribute to the negative self-talk and imposter syndrome many of us face. Why seemingly harmless preferences (like being risk-averse) might actually limit your potential. Practical steps to challenge these stories and replace them with empowering beliefs. Apply insights from The Four Agreements to live with more confidence and clarity. Start rewriting your story today and break free from what's holding you back!

It’s always a privilege to have Dr. Jeffrey Rediger on the show, and this chat sure did not disappoint. Dr. Jeffrey’s a Harvard-trained physician, researcher, and the author of Cured, who has spent decades exploring the extraordinary link between trauma, spontaneous healing from so-called 'incurable' illnesses, and the mind-body connection. We talk about the power of the nervous system, the role of trauma in shaping who we are, and how healing isn’t just about fixing what's broken - it's about rediscovering the parts of ourselves we’ve tucked away. From navigating complex emotions like shame to understanding the layers of consent and the subtle ways we reenact unhealed wounds, this conversation is raw, real, and transformational. He's one of my favourite guests! Whether you're on a personal healing journey or fascinated by the intersection of science and spirituality, this episode will leave you inspired to dig deeper into your own story.

Why are we so obsessed with the apocalypse? Is it a reaction to the state of the world—climate catastrophe, regional wars threatening global conflict, pandemic scares, and the unsettling rise of AI—or does it run deeper? Is it inherent to the modern world or, perhaps, the human condition? And why are we so captivated by apocalyptic stories in books, films, TV shows, video games, and art—sometimes improbable, sometimes terrifyingly possible?Dorian Lynskey explores these questions in Everything Must Go. He starts in ancient times, with a detour through the Book of Revelation, before focusing on the 19th century, when humanity began to grasp that scientific advances could both transform and destroy the world. The 20th century brings the bomb, robots, and intelligent machines—the seeds of a potential end. Like the best non-fiction, Lynskey's focus on a specific subject—armageddon—offers deeper insights into how we view ourselves, interact with others, and perceive our world.Buy Everything Must Go: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/everything-must-go-5*Dorian Lynskey writes about music, film, books and politics for publications including The Guardian, The Observer, the New Statesman, GQ, Billboard, Empire, and Mojo.

We've covered stories before. With Liz Salmi, Anne Kelly, and Preeti Malani we talked about stories written up in the academic literature, such as the JAMA Piece of My Mind series. We talked with Thor Ringler, who helped found the My Life My Story Project at the VA and beyond, and Heather Coats about the evidence base for capturing patient stories. Today's podcast is both similar and different. Similar in that the underlying theme of the power of stories. Different in that these storytelling initiatives, the Nocturnists and the Palliative Story Exchange, are focused on clinicians sharing stories with each other in small groups to heal. There's something magical that happens in small group storytelling. It's that mixture of intimacy and vulnerability, of shared clinical experiences, that fosters a sense of belonging. We model that small group storytelling experience today. We discuss: The “origin stories” of the Nocturnists Live Show and Podcast and the Palliative Story Exchange The process for story creation and development, written in advance or not, feedback or not after the story, and the aims and goals of each initiative And we each tell a short story, modeling the process for The Nocturnists and the Palliative Story Exchange for our listeners These initiatives arose organically from clinicians as part of a journey away from burnout, moral distress, shame, and loneliness toward healing, wholeness, gratitude, and belonging. A journey taken one story at a time. One final note on the song request: About 20 years ago I took an epidemiology course as part of a Masters program. The instructor, Fran Cook, gave all the students a survey without explanation. We answered the survey and handed it in. One of the questions was, “Can you name a song by the Tragically Hip?” It later turned out the survey was a prognostic index designed to determine if the respondent was Canadian. -@AlexSmithMD Here's a link to an article about the Palliative Story Exchange.
Aaron discusses the impact that our stories have upon our lives. We all participate to some degree in the dream of the world through our agreements and these influence our experiences.
