"When we treat old stories like safety blankets, we forget they’re actually straight jackets—suffocating our potential and robbing us of joy."
Sisters, this one’s personal. This final episode in the Letting Go When Your Heart Wants to Hold On series may be the most important message I’ve ever shared on the Girl Out of Order podcast. We're peeling back the layers and diving into something that touches every single one of us—our stories. The ones we whisper to ourselves when no one else is listening. The ones that keep us stuck, small, and safe... or so we think.
In this episode, I'm inviting you into a raw and real conversation about the old stories we hold onto like safety blankets, even when they’ve become straight jackets. I walk you through how to identify the BS narratives that no longer serve you, how to challenge them, and most importantly, how to rewrite them. This isn't just about motivation—this is about transformation. You’re holding the pen, sister. So let’s write a new story together.
