51. I Went to Jail! The Stories We tell About Ourselves

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.
