What if the heaviest cages we live in aren’t made of steel, but of the stories we tell ourselves? In this episode, I explore how old narratives about struggle, hardship, money, or even what we believe we deserve can quietly keep us trapped, even when the door is wide open.

I share how a recent pregnancy loss stirred up some of my own deeply rooted stories and how mindset shapes the weight we feel in everyday life. Sometimes it is not about changing the circumstances, but about noticing the lens we are looking through.

Together, we unpack the connection between the stories we carry and the cages we live in, and what it might take to finally step out.

Takeaways

  • We often carry heavy stories that affect our daily lives.
  • The narratives we tell ourselves can confine us like cages.

  • Reframing our thoughts can lighten our emotional burdens.
  • Grief can amplify the weight of our stories.
  • Positive mindsets attract more positivity into our lives.
  • Small victories can be overlooked when in a negative mindset.
  • Awareness of our stories is the first step to change.
  • Working on our financial narratives can lead to healthier relationships with money.
