We all live inside stories — quiet inner narratives about who we are, what life means, and what’s possible for us. But what if those stories are shaping more than just our thoughts? What if they’re shaping the season of life we’re living in?

In this episode of Traversing the Strange World, we explore how the narratives we tell ourselves influence our perception, our choices, and our growth. From the lies our inner voice repeats, to the protective stories we’ve outgrown, to the cultural myth that life is supposed to be comfortable — we dig into the psychological and spiritual layers of personal transformation.

Drawing on ideas about consciousness, perception, and the “spiral of becoming,” this conversation looks at how struggle, chaos, and uncertainty aren’t signs that we’re lost — they’re often signs that we’re changing.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re in between versions of yourself, questioning old beliefs, or sensing that a new chapter is trying to begin, this episode is for you.

Because the season you’re in may not just be happening to you…
