How to Take Back Control of Your Story Before Someone Else Writes the Ending

from Bounce Back Better By Hilary Saxton · host Hilary Saxton

Ever catch yourself drifting? Doing all the “right” things but still feeling like life is happening to you - not because of you? In this week’s powerful episode of Bounce Back Better, Hilary Saxton shares the touching story of Tony - a man in his eighties whose quiet presence at the beach turned into a profound lesson on loneliness, legacy, and the life we choose to live. Fresh from attending Tony’s funeral, Hilary takes you on a journey through sliding-door moments, the rocking chair test, and the eulogy you wish someone would read about you one day. This isn’t about being morbid - it’s about being intentional. Because you don’t get to go back, but you do get to change now. You’ll discover:✅ Why drifting through life leads to regret (and how to stop it)✅ How writing your own eulogy might just wake you up✅ The power of small, conscious actions in shaping your legacy✅ Why “busy” is the most dangerous story you’re telling yourself✅ How to create happiness—without waiting for someday 🎧 Listen now for the permission, the nudge, and the plan to take back control of your story - before someone else writes the ending for you. 👉 Your Challenge: Write one paragraph of your ideal eulogy. Then take one small action this week that aligns with the person you want to be remembered as.   🔗 Vote for Hilary in the 10 Voices Awards:https://10voices.com.au/vote/hilary-saxton 🔗 View ROAR Awards Finalists (Hilary’s a finalist!):https://www.roarawards.com/finalists-2025 🔗 Book Hilary to Speak at Your Next Event:https://www.hilarysaxton.com/speaking   🔗 More tools and resources: www.hilarysaxton.com 📕 Grab your copy of 3 Wines In: hilarysaxton.com/product/3-wines-in   Know someone who’s been drifting through life without even realising it?
