Rewriting Your Story From Lived Experience with Antonio Michael Downing (Episode 435)
In today's episode, you'll discover:
1. How to stop waiting for permission to build the life you want.
2. What it means to be the author of your own story.
3. What may be the biggest lie you keep telling yourself that keeps you stuck?
To support these three takeaways, I chose a quote from Joyce Maynard:
"To share our stories is not only a worthwhile endeavor for the storyteller, but for those who hear our stories and feel less alone because of it."
