In this episode of Sacred Stories of the Spirit, Rachel S Heslin dives deep into the psychology of identity and the transformative role of storytelling in our lives. She explores how the narratives we carry can both limit and liberate us—and how consciously rewriting them can open the door to empowerment, resilience, and growth.

We discuss:

• Why most of us don’t realize we’re living inside our own stories

• How grief and anger reveal themselves through narrative

• The power of ruthless curation for mental health

• The importance of honoring old stories while embracing new ones

• Why self-care and community are essential in times of change

Rachel’s insights remind us that we can evolve our stories as we grow—choosing narratives that support, strengthen, and expand who we are becoming.
