Most of us grew up believing in the tidy storyline of life—get the degree, land the job, climb the ladder, retire—but research shows the average person will actually have 3–7 careers in their lifetime. In my conversation on the ACT3 Podcast, I shared how storytelling can help us navigate these nonlinear paths, especially in midlife when many of us “look up” and realize we might be living someone else’s story. The key is learning to reframe your past chapters into a redemption narrative, so you can write forward with clarity and intention. In the full blog, I share how my client Sole transformed her career story, plus I offer two free tools—the Career Chapter Map and a Time Travel Meditation—to help you uncover the wisdom in your own story and imagine what comes next.

Most professionals struggle with sharing their stories confidently—whether it's in job interviews, networking events, or on LinkedIn. After years as a Story Coach, I've discovered the real issue isn't how you tell your story—it's whether you actually believe the story you're trying to tell. In this post, I'll share why confident storytelling starts from the inside out and the deeper work that transforms both how you see yourself and how others experience your authentic voice.

I'm so excited to share this episode with you because Lis and I had such a thoughtful conversation about how reflecting on your own stories can give you clarity, confidence, and direction—whether in your personal life, career, or leadership.
