We all hope our story has a happy ending. So what do we do when our story ends in tragedy? How do you write a hopeful story when you don’t get the outcome you were expecting? In this episode, I share with you a difficult set of circumstances I’ve been navigating, and how I have made peace with an “ending” I didn’t choose.

We all hope our story has a happy ending. So what do we do when our story ends in tragedy? How do you write a hopeful story when you don’t get the outcome you were expecting? In this episode, I share with you a difficult set of circumstances I’ve been navigating, and how I have made peace with an “ending” I didn’t choose.

We are all creating the stories of our lives each day. Sometimes it’s hard to believe in a happy ending when were in the middle of chaos – or to understand the transformation we are undergoing when we're being tested over and over again – but I believe we are all here to learn, grow, and discover more of who we are in this life and I want to help you do exactly that. Let’s uncover the meaning of our stories together. The stories we tell ourselves about our life matter – and only we have the power to edit, upgrade or re-write them altogether. Only we have the power to become the hero we want to be. Only we can change the narrative of the story we’re telling ourselves. If we’re sick of being the “girl who got dumped” or the “guy who lost his job” or the “villlan,” the “helper”, etc — what choice do we have? We get creative and we write a new story. As a bestselling author, I’ve learned the principals that make stories tick and I've taken many of my life stories and put them to paper. What I have learned is that stories have a lot to teach us about what matters in life; and that one of the most powerful things you can do to heal is to face your story head-on. To co-create the ending. To uncover the thread that holds the whole thing together. To become the hero you would want to see on the screen. I’ve taught many others how to do this and I want to share these insights with you, too. Everyone wants to make meaning of their story (me included) and it’s never too late. You can become a completely new person with a whole new story in just a few short years. So let’s go on this journey together. Come with me as we explore how to become our authentic selves and live our true stories. We’ll explore personal growth, self-help, psychology, spirituality, and so much more. It’s never too late to rewrite your story.

When Your Story Ends In Tragedy…

Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to join us for The River Within, the new program I’m hosting with my friend Ruthie Lindsey.

In this episode, we’ll awaken your creative gifts and activate your life force!

One of the ways we’ll do this is through the topic of today’s episode: aligned, messy action. 

If you’re a thoughtful, deliberate, intentional person, you likely struggle with aligned, messy action. You probably prefer precise, perfect, effective action.

And yet what you need most might be permission to try and fail. 

Permission to move forward, even if it’s not the “right” move.

That’s exactly the permission I’m granting in this episode, and in The River Within. I hope you’ll join us.

I used to think celebrating myself was self-centered. Self-aggrandizing. 

A waste of time at best. 

An overextension of the ego at worst. If someone else wanted to celebrate me, I would let it happen. But letting it in was a whole different story.

When it came to celebrating myself, it used to be a non-starter. 

But I changed my mind and I want to tell you about it.

Here’s Why You Should Celebrate Yourself

The dominant cultural narrative says that truth lies in data, rational thinking and logic. 

And so when we set out to heal, we think we need to alter the thoughts, reframe the story, and get the mind under control (and for a while this may even work). 

But then there comes a point where the body begins to disagree with the mind. 

The body doesn’t care about “right” answers.

The body doesn’t care how you’re “supposed” to feel. 

The body is unconvinced and unconcerned with positive affirmations. 

The body has one objective and one objective only: to express what is inside. What’s true. 

And a repressed body will eventually get louder. Much louder. 

Are you willing to listen to the truth of the body?
