DANGEROUSLY GOOD STORIES
by Marie Masse - Dangerously Good Stories™
In short: This is your go-to resource for using your personal stories to power up your life + business. 🔥🔗 SHOW NOTES: dangerouslygoodstories.com/shownotes📝 GUIDED STORY PROGRAM + PHYSICAL PLAYBOOK: dangerouslygoodstories.com/storyteller ⇢ INSTAGRAM: @dangerouslygoodstories 🌖 FULL SHOW DETAILS: You want to fully experience and savor your one & precious life... but you're a little stuck? YOUR PERSONAL STORIES ARE THE ANTIDOTE. ⭐️⭐️⭐️STORY WORK is something we gift ourselves and we can model for our children now, so they don't believe the same LIE many of us did growing up: ⇢ get good grades = get into a good college = get a good job = happy life. In reality, that's a recipe for a cookie-cutter, safe and settled life—one you believe must be your best life (you did everything "right" after all)... Meanwhile, you're baffled over why you don't feel as appreciative and happy as you "should." It's because of conditioning: cultural, societal, and generational. ⚡️Use your person
