What happens when your life forces a reset and the story you tell about it becomes the thing keeping you stuck?


In this episode, author Jeanette Harrison joins Systems of Scale to talk about identity after disruption, the moment she realized she was dealing with PTSD (not just anxiety), and the practical tools she used to rebuild from multiple major life shifts.


We also unpack a trap that shows up for a lot of high-functioning people: rehearsing the struggle story long after the crisis is over, and how to flip that narrative into proof, progress, and self-trust.


In this episode, we cover:

  • Identity shifts after life resets
  • PTSD vs anxiety, and recognizing the difference
  • Tools that helped: therapy, meditation, journaling, and “empty chair” processing
  • Breaking assumptions and unhelpful internal narratives
  • Letting go of the struggle story without denying what happened
  • Incremental steps that rebuild confidence and capacity
  • Why walking became a body-mind reset and emotional release
