Rewriting the Stories We Tell Ourselves: Mindset Shifts That Stick

What stories are you telling yourself — and are they still serving you?

In this solo episode, Erin dives deep into the power of personal narrative. Sparked by the imaginative tales her young son creates daily, she explores how the stories we absorb and repeat as adults shape our identity, mindset, and future. Through vulnerable reflections and practical insights, Erin shares how rewriting these internal scripts can unlock clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of possibility.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, questioned your path, or longed for a mindset shift, this episode will give you the nudge (and the permission) to reimagine what’s possible.

Takeaways:

• How childhood imagination reveals adult truth
• Why internal stories create real-world limits
• Tools to rewrite the narrative you live by
• Erin’s personal journey through motherhood and mindset change

✨ This is a must-listen for parents, creators, community builders, and anyone seeking more intention and kindness in their everyday life.
