Are the stories you tell yourself holding you back? After all, there's always more than one way to tell the same story. You could be a victim of tragic circumstances or a hero who survived them.

The way we interpret our past influences our identities, but it doesn’t have to define who we are forever.

This week, I’m joined by Lauren Sisler, a sports journalist, broadcaster, and author of Shatterproof. Lauren shares her remarkable story of navigating unimaginable loss, overcoming shame, and redefining her narrative to build resilience and mental strength — not just for herself but to inspire and support others.

Some of the things we discuss are:

  • How the stories we believe about ourselves can shape our mental health, for better or worse.
  • The challenges Lauren faced after unexpectedly losing both parents in one night.
  • Why Lauren kept the truth about her parents’ deaths hidden for seven years and how she finally found the courage to share.
  • How to rewrite your narrative in a way that fosters healing, growth, and self-compassion.
  • The mental strength it takes to face shame and use your story to create meaningful connections.
