  • The Illusion of Returning Home E016
    Nov 14 2024

    Life changes us, life changes home. Sometimes it can be difficult to recognise that we never actually return home, because while we are away either we, home, or both change. Is letting go difficult, is stepping forward frightening and unknown...you are not alone if they are!

  • Reframing Fear - The 2 Ways To See Our Fears E014
    Oct 31 2024

    Do our fears hold us back, or are they just part of the choices we are making in how we live our lives. It turns out whether we decide we should keep a healthy fear or whether we want to get rid of a fear that no longer serves us, we can evolve how we look at and relate to our fear so they no longer control us.

  • Living in different realities and the 2 universally shared fears E013
    Oct 25 2024

    What are the only two fears we are all born with? Because ALL our other fears develop in us after we are born....or they don't! Because we are all a unique mix of our unique life's storyline . So, because of this, we are not all living in the exact same reality!

  • Conquering Chronic Pain - From Painful to Pain-free E012
    Oct 17 2024

    Pain can take over our lives. Most of us either have chronic pain or know someone who does. Chronic pain can feel like a never-ending issue. But does it have to be that way? I talk with Susanne Schmid, author and coach, about her journey from constant chronic pain to a pain-free life.


    If you have been moved or impacted by anything in this episode please reach out to Susanne or myself (Katie) for support. We both have a history of surviving and leading ourselves through enduring chronic pain to recovery and pain-free lives. You can reach reach me at storiesofself.info@gmail.com and Susanne at www.hashtag-schmerzfrei.de

  • Learning to STOP echoes of the past E010
    Oct 4 2024

    I used to find myself running on deeply rutted tracks of behaviour, finding it difficult or impossible to change. Suffering my reactions and trying to control everything. Forcing my way or the highway on myself and those around me. And I couldn’t see a way out, I couldn’t see another way to be. But, when I hit rock bottom, I also found that there is a path to another way. To not be puppeted by the past. That there was a way to ‘time travel’ and change the impact of my past on my present and future.
