Hello and welcome back to The unleashed Podcast. I'm your host, Kristina Sjolund. I appreciate you taking the time to tune in today, if you are new, I especially welcome you. I hope that you get a lot out of this episode and that you come back for more, you go back into the search bar and you find previous episodes, and hopefully you can get something to move you forward in your life and give you more confidence, more Oomph, to get through your journey. Today I want to talk about going against the narrative. A narrative is a story, it's a story being told. And I'm not talking about the news, the media narrative, I want to talk about the narrative of your life. Maybe somebody at some point in your life framed your story in a way, they created a narrative, it's up to you to go against it, it's up to you to create your own story, to frame your story in the way that it needs to be told. Maybe it's an ex-spouse, maybe it's a parent or a family member, maybe they framed your story. They told you, you know your whole life, you're a loser, you'll never amount to anything. Trust me, these things happen and you have the power to change it, it's your story. Ready? Let's dive in and learn more...

SHOW NOTES:
• And the message went on, and it was like people created that narrative, and they created the narrative of the sins of his family, and they created this story that wasn't even true. And there was another side of the story. It wasn't the parents, it was just because he was born blind, and we live this, this is kind of our lives sometimes, and the world side of a story. Especially the society that we live in right now, is that the world wants to blame shame and guilt, everyone, they want to find blame, shame and guilt in everything. Everywhere, all the time, right?(4:48)
• I had to create a new narrative. I had to create my narrative because I knew that that really wasn't how my life was. So, when you break those changes, people are going to question that also. You know, they're going to say, you didn't achieve that. You know those haters that we talked about? It's like you got to get those out of your head. They'll let you know all the time. They'll try to bring you down.(7:49)
• I will continue to accept the blessings that are thrown my way. I don't even know how you say that, because I don't want to say created, because I try to not say that I'm the one who created. But I'll tell you what, I am open to it. And it's so important for us to know what that story is. You don't need to convince anybody with any of the details, it's your story. And you lived it. (11:07)
• You have to embrace your story because somebody needs to hear it. The details are going to be different though, like my details are going to be different than perhaps your details. And also, that's why the details don't matter. When I say I wasn't into drugs, maybe somebody was. Maybe you are a recovering addict, and maybe you're embarrassed of that, and you don't want to say that you were. But somebody else out there is, somebody is in that position, and that person needs to hear your story, that person needs to hear your story because that person needs to know that there's a way out. (15:55)
• You can help them get out of that dark place. We're here on this planet to help other people naturally. It's human nature to help others, it really is. I know it's hard to believe right now, but it really, really is. It's in our nature, and that's why it's so chaotic now. Because somebody is trying to create a different narrative for us, and we need to fight against that. We need to create our own. So, know your story. Know the power of your story. And share your story.(19:48)
