Why Stories Matter

Have you ever noticed that your nervous system doesn’t just react to what happened? It reacts to the story you tell about it.In this episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, Leah unpacks how the stories we carry, those we’ve inherited, absorbed, or created, shape the way we think, feel, and move through the world.You’ll learn how these stories can become survival codes that your nervous system still follows and why awareness is the first step toward shifting them. Leah also shares three simple metaphors: camera lenses, playlists, and weather patterns, to help you see your stories with more clarity and choice.This episode is an invitation to notice your own stories and begin gently reshaping them in a way that supports safety, growth, and connection.We’ll explore:How your nervous system reacts to the stories you tellThe difference between inherited, assigned, and protective storiesWhy even “positive” labels can keep you stuckThe role of awareness in shifting long-held narrativesThree metaphors that help your body and brain understand story workHow curiosity, not criticism, creates the foundation for changeLinks and Resources:📌IT'S NOT JUST YOUR THOUGHTS, IT'S YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM (WITH A CREATIVE TWIST): A workshop mini course with bonus resources📌IBS NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET (Workbook and Worksheets) 📌NERVOUS SYSTEM STRESS TEST: Take the test to see how dysregulated you really are?MENTAL HEALTH STATIONERY - RESILIENT BRILLIANCE PRODUCTS:1) RESILIENCE JOURNAL: A guided journal for emotional well-being and nervous system care📌 Amazon US - https://a.co/d/7DpuyVj📌 Amazon CA - https://a.co/d/7DpuyVj2) MY SAFE SPACE : AFFIRMATION AND JOURNAL PROMPT SET📌Amazon US - https://a.co/d/2mANQs4📌Amazon CA - https://a.co/d/7JtdlUMCOMMUNITIES 📌NERVOUS SYSTEM JOURNALING CLUB : Doodle, journal and heal in community.Join here: https://www.skool.com/nervous-system-journaling-club/about📌CONNECTIONS - MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP: Coursework, Coaching, Creative Doodling and Community Join the waitlist here: https://leahdavidsonlifecoaching.com/CONNECTIONS/📌THE ADVANCED TRAINING IN NERVOUS SYSTEM RESILIENCE: A 6 month immersive experience for personal and professional training.Join the waitlist here: https://leahdavidsonlifecoaching.com/coach-training/LET'S STAY CONNECTED📌INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/leahdavidsonlifecoaching/📌FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/leahdavidsonlifecoachingSubscribe to the Weekly Newsletter: leahdavidsonlifecoaching.com/newsletterWANT TO CREATE YOUR OWN SKOOL COMMUNITY:  🔗 Check it out here - https://www.skool.com/signup?ref=06e003b61b8148ebbafd3a067f3cc2e1 Hosted on Acast.
