There\\u2019s something in your life you want to change. Where do you start?\\xa0\\xa0

My friend, business coach and wildly successful entrepreneur, Michael Hyatt, says there\\u2019s one thing we can change that transforms everything else: our minds.

Our thoughts drive our actions, and our actions drive our results, which is why if we want different outcomes in life \\u2013 whether in our relationships, our business, our finances or our happiness \\u2013 we have to start by looking within.

In this episode, Michael explains the inner narrator we all have, a part of us that seeks to make meaning of our lives by interpreting and telling stories about the things that happen to us. The problem? These stories are often untrue or rooted in fear, which creates limiting beliefs that hold us back.

Michael shares his three steps for working with the inner narrator and how to choose a more empowering mindset that leads to a life of agency, choice and power. We talk about how to get out of victim, why adversity can open up new possibilities in our lives and how to avoid getting sidetracked by triggers, fear and grief while still being radically honest about our emotions and reality.\\xa0

One of the pillars of being a healthy adult is busting stories and living in fact and truth, which is the key to an empowered mindset. And as Michael shares, even when we have a challenging set of facts, we can still choose the most empowering story for ourselves, reframing adversity and believing in possibilities \\u2013 and ultimately, in ourselves.
