How the Stories We Tell Ourselves Create (or Hinder) Resilience and Connection | Laura Packer

What if the story you are telling yourself is directly affecting your stress? Listen in as storyteller, communications consultant, author, & real-time dreamer Laura Packer and I explore how the stories we tell ourselves create—or hinder—resilience and connection. In this deeply engaging conversations we cover:

• How during a stressful event the experience in the moment—and the recovery time afterwards— is influenced by your role in the story you tell yourself
• How choosing how you respond, even in the face of misfortune or stress, can improve your recovery time and transform your life
• How viewing your life through the lens of story can help you develop and maintain resilience
• The role of empathy and re-framing your story in shifting out of stress
• Using boundaries to decide who "we let into our heads" especially regarding the stories we consume
• How the media we consume influences our empathy and feelings
• Touch on racism and privilege, and discovering your true calling
