Who doesn’t love a good story? 

Storytelling is a powerful tool because it is the way we communicate with each other about our lives, history, imagination, and so much more. The stories we are told as children have lasting impacts on us and they teach us that in every story, the person who seeks to do good, always comes out on top. 

In today’s episode, I explain the importance of storytelling within my own life and my children’s lives. While we can learn something from every story, the most important story is the one we tell ourselves. Our internal narrative can completely shape how we view ourselves and our capabilities, and it’s important to remember that you are the author of that story.

Tune in to learn what the Stockdale Paradox is, why it’s important to have a growth mindset, and why we need to share our stories of failure with others.
