Have you ever done everything right, followed the rules, checked every box, worked hard, and still wondered why things weren’t working out? You’re not alone.
In this episode of The Story I’m Telling Myself, host Rita sits down with Jenn Whitmer, an international keynote speaker and workplace culture consultant, to challenge the hidden narrative that obedience guarantees success. Together, they explore how blindly following the “right way” can actually keep you stuck, and why reclaiming your agency is the true path to growth, influence, and freedom.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
The toxic story behind “If I just do everything right, it will work out”
How Jenn’s personal health journey revealed the limits of blind obedience
Why redefining your relationship with authority unlocks new possibilities
The cost of choosing safety over power, and how to take responsibility for your life
Practical ways to rewrite your internal story and claim your agency
Whether you’re navigating career growth, leadership challenges, or personal change, this conversation will help you stop handing over your power and start writing your own ending.
