You can find the Lives of Courage PODCAST on Anchor or iTunes or Pocket Casts and more!
Telling our story is powerful and life changing and life affirming and beautiful. It’s also scary to take the time to reflect and sift through the memories. To sit with the pain and the rawness of life. We can learn so much about who we are and what we are made of when looking at our life narratives.
Our stories help us process our experiences and events in our own minds and make sense of the world around us. It helps uncover the hidden narratives and the unconscious pieces. And this is where we can then begin to rewrite our narratives.
So what is your story? What we say about and to ourselves matters.
