117: From pain stories to power stories

Today's episode is about stories. Stories of heartbreak, betrayal, grief and generally the human experience. We all have them. Stories about what happened to us, about who we are now, about what we’ve lost. And those stories can feel heavy, like they define us. But here’s the beautiful truth: stories can change. We just have to learn to rewrite them and be willing to. We don’t erase what happened… but we shift the perspective. And that shift can change everything. Today we chat about how these stories impact us and how we can rewrite them. And for a deeper dive into this work and more about where our stories come from check out the series I did on this starting with Episode 83 right here on A Blessing in Divorce.
