Ep 8 - The Stories We Tell Ourselves


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re diving into the stories we tell ourselves — the ones that whisper “you can’t,” “you’re not ready,” or “you’re not enough.”

We talk about how those stories sneak into our heads, why they feel so real, and how to flip them into something that actually moves us forward. From growth mindset and imposter syndrome to the simple act of keeping one small promise, this one’s about taking back the pen and rewriting your own script.

We unpack:
– Why action comes before confidence (and why waiting to “feel ready” never works)
– How imposter syndrome shows up — even for people who look confident on the outside
– The difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset (and the magic of adding “yet”)
– The small daily actions that prove your new story true
– Why journaling and reflection help you catch your inner narrative before it runs the show
– How shared stories (like money, relationships, even nations) shape the world we live in


Quote of the episode:
“Your thoughts aren’t facts — they’re stories. And you get to choose which story to live by.”


If this one hits home, send it to a mate who needs it. Sometimes the right story is all it takes to shift someone’s week.
