Rewrite Your Story, with Teresa Rodriguez

Send us Fan Mail Your life is already being written, just not always by you. We start with a simple but heavy truth: every human being lives inside a story, not only what happened, but what we decided it meant. That story shapes mental health, confidence, relationships, and the risks we dare to take. When we never examine it, we end up protecting a narrative that quietly limits everything we reach for. I’m joined by best-selling author, TEDx speaker, and publisher Teresa Rodriguez, founder of Liberte Press. Teresa opens up about a painful season of abandonment, depression, and self-harm, and the moment she refused to hand her life over to a script she didn’t choose. Her path back begins with “soloness” not loneliness, but intentional time and space to breathe, be present, and reconnect with the self. We also unpack why childhood beliefs feel so true, how narrative change works in real life, and why it takes sustained effort to break through self-sabotage. Then we tackle modern pressure points: ambition, burnout, and the myth that you can have it all. Teresa offers a practical reset for sustainable ambition: define success by how you want it to feel, name your North Star, and prioritise accordingly. We also talk social media envy, mirror work, journaling, and a simple writing habit that can unlock the book you’ve been carrying for years.
