Allow me to introduce myself: I'm a woman of (intellectual) wealth and (philosophical) taste.... Basically, who I am, what I do, and what the ethos of this podcast is. What is this concept of "narrative responsibility"?
Mindset Mentoring in 30 Minutes a Week!
Changing your perspective on life, relationships, your past, and even yourself doesn't have to take hours at a time. Learning one concept and integrating it well creates real change the same as an intense immersion...it just takes a little longer. It's also more likely to stay with you! Sustainable change comes from making small, manageable shifts that build on each other over time. Just like 12 inches become one foot, 12 small mindset shifts can become a new thought paradigm.
If you can find half an hour a week to listen, you can start changing your mindset to have more flexibility, compassion, and curiosity ... and less judgment, criticism, and shame.
I hope you'll join me on this quest to let go of stories about who you "should" be and feel more like your authentic self!
