51. I Went to Jail! The Stories We tell About Ourselves
Manage episode 421971178 series 3558198
Somewhere there is a mugshot of me after I got arrested at a house party in Seattle when I was 20. There is also a picture of me graduating law school a few years later. Both of these pictures tell a story, and both are true. But how do I make meaning from these stories and these truths? What do these stories tell me about myself and my life?
In this solo episode, I'm talking about how I have come to understand the power of storytelling, identity, and how we can use narrative in harnessing potential and creating our lives.
In this episode I cover:
- How our stories about self define who we are and who we are becoming
- The difference between stories and beliefs
- How narrative helped me heal and improve my sense of self.
- How stories shape our beliefs and potential
- How we can help our kids tell better stories about themselves
- How to improve the way we see ourselves and the narrative arc of our lives.
