Unraveling the Stories We Tell Ourselves with Adele Fedorak

Have you ever stopped to consider how the stories you tell—about yourself, about others, about the world—shape your reality? In this episode, I sit down with the insightful Adele Fedorak to explore story intelligence—a powerful concept that goes beyond storytelling and into the very fabric of how we perceive and navigate life.Adele has spent over 30 years immersed in the art and science of story. Through her work coaching professional women and leading small, curated "story pods," she helps people uncover, refine, and reshape their narratives in ways that bring greater clarity, confidence, and connection.Together, we dive into how heightened awareness of our stories can transform our understanding of self and others, why cognitive bias keeps us locked in certain perspectives, and how we can develop the ability to hold multiple truths at once. I also share a recent personal experience where I found myself caught in an old, limiting story and the impact it has had on me.This conversation is rich, thought-provoking, and so relevant in today’s world, where discernment and perspective-taking are more important than ever. Join us as we unpack the power of story and how you can use it to create deeper meaning and positive change in your life.About Adele FedorekAdele helps professional women grow their natural storytelling abilities so that they speak clearly and confidently about what’s important.
