FULL SHOW DETAILS:
You want to fully experience and savor your one & precious life... but you're a little stuck?
YOUR PERSONAL STORIES ARE THE ANTIDOTE.
âď¸âď¸âď¸
STORY WORK is something we gift ourselves and we can model for our children now, so they don't believe the same LIE many of us did growing up:
⢠get good grades = get into a good college = get a good job = happy life.
In reality, that's a recipe for a cookie cutter, safe and settled lifeâone you believe must be your best life (you did everything "right" after all)... Meanwhile, you're baffled over why you don't feel as appreciative and happy as you "should." It's because of conditioning: cultural, societal, and generational.
âĄď¸
Use your personal stories to unlearn conditioned beliefs and heighten the meaningfulness + aliveness in your day-to-day.
That's when you'll:
đĽ be mind-blown by your own life!
đĽ wake up with less, "what do I HAVE to do today?" and more "what do I GET to do today?"
đĽ experience meaningfulness and aliveness as your natural state of mindâmuch like untethered childhood.
Isn't that what we want for our children, our loved ones, and for ourselves?

DANGEROUSLY GOOD STORIES, HOSTED BY MARIE MASSE, WILL GUIDE YOU DEEPER INTO YOUR STORIES.

Not that there's any real guilt - there's nothing bad around that - but what I noticed about Angela's, I felt a different experience vibe.
