Stories We Tell Ourselves

🎙️ Episode 7: Stories We Tell Ourselves

What if the story you’ve been telling yourself isn’t the truth?

In this episode of Dragonfly Moments: Conversations That Matter, we’re talking about the stories that quietly shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and our lives. Sometimes those stories come from painful experiences, careless comments, rejection, trauma, or moments when someone made us question whether we were “enough.” Over time, we may begin repeating those messages to ourselves until they feel like facts.

Teri gets personal as she reflects on negative self-talk, shame and guilt, and the comments from her past that stayed with her long after they were spoken. She shares a reminder that healing can begin by asking: “Who told me this? And do I still want to believe it?”

We’ll explore: ✨ The difference between what happened to us and who we are ✨ How negative self-talk can become our inner soundtrack ✨ Shame vs. guilt ✨ Reframing the stories that keep us stuck ✨ Practicing self-compassion ✨ Giving ourselves permission to write a new chapter

Because one bad day isn't a bad life—and one chapter isn't the whole story.

You are not your worst mistake. You are not your biggest disappointment. You are not the hardest thing you've ever lived through.

You are not your story. You are the author of your next chapter.

Keep looking for the dragonflies. Keep noticing the glimmers. Keep choosing hope.
