What if you could…
🦋 Change the stories you told yourself about yourself?
🦋 Transform the disempowering beliefs into empowered narratives?
🦋 Rewrite your beliefs so they support you more and hold you captive less?
The power of words cannot be underestimated, , especially when it comes to the stories and beliefs you tell yourself daily about yourself.
They can either keep you stuck or propel you.
Becoming a better storyteller to yourself is one of the ways through which I’m honored to guide my clients.
As a holder of safe and sacred spaces, my clients are invited to examine their beliefs and stories. They determine what needs to be reframed, rewritten, or embraced.
New stories are crafted using energetic practices as well as the physical body because movement is a portal for creating space for transformation.
Their transformations fuel my passion for guiding them back to themselves so they can stand in the spotlight of the life they know they’re meant to live.
I’ll be hosting a special Somatic Storytelling experience tomorrow and I invite you to join me on this magical journey.
Here's an example of how I used Somatic Storytelling to rewrite old stories and beliefs...
Back when I launched my first podcast in 2013, I did so because I had a message I knew more people (parents with young kids at that time) truly needed.
I chose podcasting because it was new and exciting at the time (although the tech was far more complicated and manual than it is today).
Deep down, though, I knew I wanted to create video.
The idea of being the face in front of the camera, however, was terrifying. Even though I stood in front of hundreds of students every week, the mere thought of seeing that flashing red light caused me to panic.
Dry mouth, stumbling over my words, forgetting my train of thought, sweaty palms - I had all the classic symptoms that came with this fear of speaking even when no one was in the room.
I held tight to the belief that I wasn’t ready to be “on camera.” I had convinced myself that…
- I didn’t know enough.
- I needed to collect a few more certifications to prove what I knew.
- People would wonder who the f*ck I was to be on camera…and this is just the shortlist of false beliefs I held about myself.
Being behind a mic and a computer felt safer. It didn’t require showing my face. I could read from my overly crafted scripts and I could edit out all the “mistakes.”
The truth was that I was hiding, holding onto fears so tightly they paralyzed me.
There was a certain comfort in holding onto the story that I wasn’t ready to be on camera. Plus it was far easier to convince myself that podcasting was enough because I was taking action.
It took me three more years, and lots of story rewriting before I finally faced the camera to share my heart so that I could launch my first book.
Today, video no longer paralyzes me. It's a medium I've learned to love and embrace. It's a medium I advocate for my clients to use in their businesses to share their hearts.
Did you know that many of the stories and beliefs you hold onto about yourself as an adult were forged during childhood? Taken on as truth at a time when you were trying to make sense of the world.
You were shown by others what was fact and what was fiction. You may not have consciously chosen those beliefs and stories, yet they’ve shaped your life.
If you have any stories and beliefs you'd like to examine or rewrite, I invite you to join me tomorrow at 10 am PST for a live Somatic Storytelling Experience.
Save your in-person (or virtual spot).
Cheers to becoming a better storyteller to drive your success!
xo, Yong
