from Heal Yourself Podcast · host Kira Whitham, Denise Loutfi
Send us Fan MailYour brain can make a story feel like a fact in seconds and then build a whole identity on top of it. Today we pull that apart, gently but honestly, and show how the “script” in your head shapes your money mindset, your physical healing journey, and the patterns you keep reliving in relationships and friendships.We talk about why we attach to stories in the first place: safety, familiarity, and sometimes a hidden secondary gain like sympathy, accommodations, or a reason not to show up fully. That can be hard to hear, especially when trauma is real, but we hold it with compassion. The goal is not self-blame, it’s self-awareness. When you can say “this is a story,” you stop handing it the steering wheel.We also get practical about how to change it. We share ways to spot the loop by tracking repeating patterns, emotions, and triggers, then doing the two-part work of surrender plus reprogramming. We use real examples around finances and cultural beliefs about prestige, and we offer a tool that helps fast: look for contradicting evidence that proves the old narrative is not the whole truth. We also name the uncomfortable part: when you rewrite a story, your nervous system may panic because the new belief is unfamiliar.Support the showFollow us on Instagram, leave a review, and share your experiences – we'd love to hear what resonates with you!
