Stories you tell yourself when the White House calls with Ashwani Jain

This month, we dive into the theme of “Stories We Grew Up with” and explore how the tales we heard and the ones we whispered to ourselves have shaped who we are. These stories have colored our actions, our hopes, and the way we see the world. In the end, I believe each of us is not just a storyteller, but a living story. Author  David Denborough, Ph.D. writes, “Who we are and what we do are influenced by the stories that we tell ourselves…There are many events in our lives, but only some become part of the storylines of our identities. Whatever storyline we have about our lives makes a difference in who we are and how we act.”#_ftn1 Meet my guest, Ashwani Jain, whose family’s words—reminding him that he was enough, that he was loved, and that he was a survivor—became the foundation of his own story. These beliefs carried him through childhood cancer and even his first job rejection from the White House. (Yes, there was a second chance!) His spirit and journey are sure to inspire you. Tune in and let yourself be inspired! #_ftnref1 https://psychcentral.com/blog/the-power-of-our-personal-stories/
