Every day, we tell ourselves stories — quiet inner narratives that shape how we see ourselves, what we believe is possible, and how we show up in the world.

Sometimes these stories sound like:
“I’m not good enough.”
“Good things never last for me.”
“I’ll always have to struggle.”

And sometimes, they aren’t even words — just heavy feelings of unworthiness or fear.

In this episode of The Rise & Rebuild Podcast, I’m sharing how these unseen narratives can keep us stuck in unhealthy cycles and how to rewrite them with truth and hope.

I’ll also introduce you to two simple yet powerful tools that will help you shift from negative self-talk to empowering beliefs, so you can start living the story God intended for your life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, defeated, or weighed down by old lies, this episode will give you the clarity and tools to begin rewriting your inner narrative.
