Summary

Coach Courtney Smith joins us in this moment, when collective anxiety is running high, to share a perspective and tools that many of us could use right now. She explains why we understandably get seduced by fear and stuck operating below the line, from a place of threat. And how we can recognize when we’re ready to move above the line—and what awaits us there. She also shares some ways to escape the drama triangle, be okay with the unknown, and find power in your story—whether it’s one you’re fully committed to, or one you’re willing to expand.

1:10.6	Here is today's guest, Courtney Smith, on the stories we tell ourselves.
1:15.8	Catching yourself in storymaking, which we do all the time, it just provides a sliver of a window for it may not actually be true.
