We all carry stories about who we are — beliefs shaped by past experiences, old roles, or moments that once mattered. Some of these stories helped us succeed. Others helped us stay safe. But over time, many quietly become limits we don’t even notice.

In this episode, we explore the moment you realise you’ve outgrown a story… yet still find yourself living it.

How these outdated beliefs affect performance, leadership, and wellbeing — and how releasing them opens space for renewal and reinvention.


You'll discover:


• how identity is shaped by the stories we repeat


• why high performers often hit plateaus rooted in old narratives


• subtle signs you’ve outgrown a belief


• how to gently step into a new story that reflects who you’re becoming


Pause Prompt:


What story about yourself have you outgrown… but still find yourself living?


🎧 Coming next:


Episode 6 explores The Power of Still Energy — the strength we find in calm, and how stillness becomes fuel for clarity and performance.
