The Story in My Head: Healing & Self-Improvement for the Lazy
The Story in My Head is a podcast about healing, self-improvement and self-care for the lazy. It's a raw and meandering journey through the stories in my head that create fear, plant obstacles and disable me from living the life I want. This is NOT your average self-help podcast. It is not polished and refined and presented as a recipe for healthy living. Rather its an honest sharing of the stories that feed my dark spaces, the consequences of my storytelling, and the ways I'm working to re-write the narrative. I think most of us tell stories in our heads that we fear will be judged if we share. I want to explore the stories that make us uncomfortable including ones about depression, anxiety, conflict, self-esteem, sex, relationships, death, addiction, parenting, adulting. This list goes on and on. These are the issues I struggle with and I don't think I'm alone, yet most people don't want to talk about them. WTF? The Story in My Head podcast, hosted by me...Amy. Where my guests and I talk honestly about things that make us uncomfortable. We will share our stories, our experiences and the nuggets we gather along the way. You might laugh a little. You may cry a little. I suspect you will be able to relate. Nonetheless, it will be shameless entertainment. If you like Unf*ck Your Brain, Help Me Be Me, Unlocking Us, The Mel Robbins Podcast, On Purpose with Jay Shetty, Terrible Thanks for Asking, Therapy for Black Girls, Goop, The Happiness Lab, and Happier then you may enjoy The Story in My Head.
