In this solo episode, I dive deep into the powerful and often unnoticed impact of the stories we tell about others—especially as leaders. Over the years, I've developed a methodology called the Confidence Method, which helps individuals identify the sources of their fear, doubt, and insecurity, and transform their beliefs into something positive and empowering. But today, I want to explore a new angle.It's not just about the stories we tell ourselves or the ones told to us about ourselves. There's a third story—the stories we tell others about who they are.As leaders, our words carry immense weight. As parents, as coaches, as managers, and as partners, the way we communicate has a lasting impact on others. Every time we speak into someone's performance, identity, or character, we plant a seed—a narrative they might carry with them for years to come. And the sad reality is, they often remember what we say long after we've forgotten it.The Impact of Our WordsIt's easy to underestimate the power of a casual comment or throwaway line, but it matters. The feedback, praise, or critique we give (even unknowingly) shapes someone's self-perception. These seemingly small moments—whether positive or negative—create stories that others believe about themselves. And when those stories become internalized, they guide their actions and self-worth.I want you to pause and think: What stories are you telling your team? How about your kids, your partners, or your friends? Every time you speak into their character, you're influencing their view of themselves—whether you intend to or not.The Stories Told to UsI want to remind you: this isn't just about what we tell others—it's about recognizing the stories that were told to us about who we are. These stories have shaped us in ways we sometimes don't even realize. The Confidence Method helps us uncover these narratives, but today, I'm challenging you to consider what narratives you're writing for others, especially as a leader.We all know how powerful it is to be told something positive about ourselves—it boosts our confidence, reaffirms our potential, and pushes us to achieve more. But the opposite is just as true. Negative comments, even if we dismiss them in the moment, can linger for years, shaping our self-image in a negative light.Casual Conversations MatterI want to be clear: I'm not suggesting we avoid giving feedback or accountability. That's an essential part of leadership. What I am encouraging is intentionality. How do we ensure that our feedback, comments, and praise shape the person we want to lead, not in a way that leaves them feeling diminished?Even the smallest interactions matter. A facial expression in a meeting, being on your phone while someone speaks, or a rush job email can all unintentionally shape the way someone sees themselves. These actions speak louder than words, and they contribute to the ongoing narrative about their identity.How Are You Shaping Identity?As leaders, we shape identity every day. Our words can either reflect someone's true potential or hide it behind layers of doubt and confusion. Every interaction—whether it's a casual hallway chat or a formal meeting—adds to the story of who they think they are. So, I want you to consider: When is the last time you told someone exactly what you saw in them? Not just their performance, but their value. When's the last time you shared what you truly believe about their potential?It's crucial that we not only hold people accountable but do so in a way that aligns with what we believe to be true about them. We need to be strategic in how we use our words to build people up rather than inadvertently reinforcing their doubts or limitations.Shaping a Life of ConfidenceAs I wrap up, I want to remind you of one thing: The stories we hear about ourselves can shape everything we do. And the stories we tell others about themselves have the same impact. So as leaders, we must be intentional with our words. Let's think about how we're shaping others' stories and ensuring that we are lifting them up, not inadvertently creating narratives of limitation.If this message resonated with you, I encourage you to think about how you're leading your team, your family, and the people in your life. Are you shaping them with intentionality? Are you allowing room for them to see their potential, even when they don't believe it themselves?Final Thoughts & InvitationIf you've been thinking about how you're telling stories in your leadership and personal life, I want to encourage you to go deeper. Ask yourself: What stories am I telling those around me? How can I be more strategic and human with the words I choose to shape their confidence?If you want to dive deeper into these concepts, I invite you to join me for my free monthly leadership workshop where we discuss how to lead with clarity, confidence, and intention.

Welcome to episode 213 with Darren McGarvey, who is an author, musician, social commentator and journalist. Darren grew up in Pollok on the south side of Glasgow, and has lived through extreme poverty, addiction and homelessness.  He wrote about his life and experiences in his first book ‘Poverty Safari' which received critical acclaim for its insights into poverty and inequality. His upcoming book 'Trauma Industrial Complex' is due out in August and this episode I chat to Darren about the modern phenomenon of lived experience and sharing trauma stories online. We chat about Darren's experience of talking publicly about his life and what happened to him after “Poverty Safari” was an instant bestseller and he suddenly become well known for the things that he had been through. We talk about how social media has produced a culture of oversharing, why telling your story can get in the way of recovery and how this type of advocacy might just have fuelled other modern trends like misinformation and harmful mental health advice. And we talk about why people might feel the need to share their trauma, why there is such a market for it, the hidden consequences of barring your soul and things like victim hood, avoidance and addiction. I'm a big fan of Darren's work, in all its forms, so it was great to chat to him about his new book.  As someone who spends a lot of time, sharing stories and talking publicly about my own mental health, this was a fascinating conversation to be a part of!

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.

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?

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.

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.    Check out The One inside Self-Led merch at The One Inside store Watch video clips from select episodes on  The One Inside on YouTube Follow Tammy on Instagram @ifstammy and on Facebook at The One Inside with Tammy Sollenberger.
