Introduction to ‘The Stories We Live By’
We all carry stories—narratives that shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. These stories begin forming in childhood when we make sense of our experiences through assumptions and beliefs.
Over time, these early impressions evolve into a framework that dictates how we live, often without us realising it. The stories we create influence our decisions, relationships, and even our sense of identity.
But what if these stories are not entirely accurate?
What if the beliefs and assumptions that guided us as children are now holding us back as adults?
This newsletter series, The Stories We Live By, invites you to explore these questions through four key themes:
- Are Your Childhood Assumptions Still Running Your Life?”
Discover how early experiences shape our sense of reality and how these foundational beliefs influence our adult lives. - Are You Living by Rules That Hold You Back?
Unpack the self-imposed rules that evolve from our childhood narratives and see how they may be limiting your freedom and potential. - What If Your Problems Aren’t What They Seem?
Question the very nature of the problems we perceive and uncover how they are often outcomes of unconscious stories we’ve told ourselves. - What If You Could Re-Write the Story of Your Life?
Explore the possibility of challenging these old narratives and creating new ones that align with your authentic self and aspirations.
By unpacking the stories we carry, we open the door to rewriting them. Doing so provides insights and reflections on how to recognise and challenge limiting narratives, offering a pathway to greater freedom, authenticity, and fulfilment.
Together, we’ll explore the possibility of moving beyond outdated assumptions and embracing a life that aligns more closely with who we truly are.
