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

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?
