Ep.25 The Stories We Tell and the Search for Belonging

Two books, one realization: the stories we tell shape who we believe we are.In this episode, I explore how storytelling and identity are woven together, and why belonging so often begins with the narratives we carry about who we are. From childhood moments of wanting to fit in, to the inner conflict of feeling different but not wanting to be like everyone else, I share how these personal stories shaped the way I connect with people and the world around me.What if the way we see ourselves or don’t, comes from stories we didn’t even realize we were telling?And what happens when we finally allow ourselves to be seen?This isn’t a deep dive. It’s a reflection on identity, belonging, and the quiet power of rewriting your inner narrative when the old one doesn’t fit anymore.—And if you’re into books, mischief, and side-spirals join Bratty Book Club →https://damarisgalvez.substack.com/s/bratty-book-clubFor more riffs, reflections, and creative chaos → https://linktr.ee/DamarisGalvez
