  • The Stories We Tell Ourselves

    Have you ever made up a story in your head about the cryptic text a friend sent? Or if that Instagram post was *really* about you? Maybe you've "read into" what someone meant when they were talking to you or caused an argument with your spouse when he was really trying to do something kind. 

    These are the stories that we tell ourselves to fill in the blanks when we don't know all the answers. It may make us sound looney tunes, but we all do it! And we're on a mission to change our self talk so we can stop making up self sabotaging stories. :)

    What we chatted about:

    *Back to school after the new year

    *Fun facts about ourselves (hint: someone is REALLY bad at texting)
    *The stories we create
    *How our self talk impacts our happiness
    *How to change the stories we make up in our heads
