For years, I kept telling myself the same story.

That I never finished my doctorate.
That I start too many things and finish too few.
That I’m wasting time while others are moving ahead.

And honestly, that story shaped how I saw everything. It drained my energy. Made me doubt every new idea before it even had a chance.

But something changed. I started telling a different story.

Yes, I didn’t finish that academic degree. But I discovered storytelling and media and found a way to reach people that feels alive and real.

Yes, I’ve abandoned projects. But I’ve also written more in the past few months than I ever have before. I’ve found my rhythm. My voice. My joy.

The facts didn’t change. But the story I chose to tell about them did.

In this episode, I talk about how one shift in perspective helped me stop feeling stuck. And how you can do the same.

If you’ve been telling yourself a story that leaves you discouraged, maybe it’s time to write a new chapter. Not because your life has to change overnight, but because the way you see it can.
