Ep 21: Narratives & Alternative Narratives
Listen now
Description
What kind of stories are you telling about yourself, and is it time to question them? We carry narratives in our heads that summarize what we think of our successes, our failures, our feelings, our hopes. Often these narratives are kind of a drag, sometimes they are flat-out wrong – yet we can be incredibly loyal to these sucky stories. In this episode, the Michaels introduce a powerful exercise to challenge how you are thinking about yourself. Michael T assesses his post-vacation judgments about getting back to the grindstone, and we learn that Michael M once lived in Calcutta.
