The Memory We Choose to Keep

Some memories stick with us forever—but what if we had the power to reshape them?In this episode, I share a story from my friend Mariya Delano about a day that could have been the saddest of her childhood… but wasn’t. Thanks to a caring father and a little imagination, what started as a painful moment transformed into a lifelong core memory of wonder, adventure, and dinosaurs.We talk about how our perception of the past shapes us, why memory is more flexible than we think, and how we all have the power to redirect tough moments into something meaningful.What’s a memory that’s stuck with you? Have you ever intentionally rewritten a moment for yourself or someone else? This is a public episode.
