Ep. 17: Rewriting the Stories We Tell Ourselves

I have an old painful story that comes up in my body sometimes when I'm activated, and it says, “I'm alone in solving everything. No one's coming to help me.” But recently I had an experience with a dear friend that reminded me that I’m not alone, that I'm allowed to ask for help and help can come. That moment became the perfect metaphor for what this episode is all about: journaling and boundaries. Journaling reveals the old stories that keep us stuck. It allows us to pause and get curious about what we really think and feel, and from there we can begin to apply this boundary work in a meaningful way. If you’ve never tried journaling or have no idea where to begin, don’t worry, I’m giving you eight prompts to help guide you on your journey to self-discovery. Boundary work isn’t just about what we say ‘no’ to, it's about rewriting those internal stories about who we are and what we deserve. Through journaling, we can begin to rewrite our stories with more clarity, curiosity, and compassion, and I hope these prompts are a helpful guide in getting started. ResourcesWebsite: robinbreckenridge.comInstagram: @coachwithrobinTikTok: @robinbreckenridgeYouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge
