Have you ever caught yourself saying, "This is just how I am," or "My life will never get better"? In this powerful episode, Dr. Britt invites you to challenge that narrative and introduces the life-changing concept of Re-Authoring Your Story. Through the lens of positive psychology, NLP, and Hope Theory, you'll learn how to rewrite the scripts that no longer serve you and create a life filled with strength, joy, and purpose. It's not about having a perfect past—it's about choosing to create a hopeful future.
💡 In this episode, we talk about:
- Why your narrative = your identity—and how that shapes your beliefs, behaviors, and even what your brain looks for
- How Hope Theory (Snyder, 1994) helps you reframe your life through:
- 🎯 Goals
- 💪 Agency
- 🧭 Pathways
- How to identify the old script you’re stuck in—and whether it’s even yours
- What positive psychology has to say about rewriting our stories with strength, growth, and meaning
- How unprocessed emotions become the fuel for limiting beliefs—and how you can release them
- The power of language, your inner coach, and simple shifts that lead to major life changes
- How to write a new story using tools from NLP, MER, and the science of meaning-making
✨ Your New Story Formula:
"I used to believe ____, but now I know ____. So I choose to live as the kind of woman who ____."
Example:
"I used to believe I had to be perfect to be loved. But now I know love isn't earned by performance—it's received in presence. So I choose to live as the kind of woman who brings her full self to the table."
💭 Reflect & Reauthor:
- What story have I been living in that no longer fits who I’m becoming?
- What belief or emotion is fueling this story—and where did it begin?
- What strength did I use to survive that chapter, and what does it say about me?
- What would my life look like if I believed something different?
- What bold or simple action could I take today that reflects my new story?
