The Stories That Keep Us Stuck
Episode 17: The Stories That Keep Us Stuck
In this episode of Why Mindset Matters, I get real about the stories we cling to — the ones that feel safe but quietly keep us stuck in self-imposed prisons we more commonly refer to as comfort zones. These narratives might feel like protection, but they’re really holding us back from the growth and change we deeply crave.
I talk about what it takes to face the fear behind those stories, lean into the discomfort, and rewrite the script in a way that actually serves who we’re becoming. I share how I’ve had to call myself out on the lies I’ve told myself to avoid discomfort, and why that discomfort is actually where freedom and transformation live. This conversation is all about reclaiming your power, choosing courage over comfort, and creating a life that feels expansive, joyful, and deeply aligned... It's your reminder to stop settling for the story that keeps you small and start writing the one that sets you free.
