Discovering Our Own Epic Stories: Uncovering Inner Narratives for a Thriving Life | Meridith Alexander
02/16/23 • 48 min
You wake up. You get ready for work. You do your normal thing. Then, out of the blue, you get that dreaded phone call. The one that changes your life forever. It forces you to step back and figure out your new game plan.
Meridith Alexander got that terrifying call. She shares her daughter Schuylers tragic accident being crushed by a boulder. Reality hit her when she asked herself what the worst of her horrible emotions was. She realized that it was feeling powerless to help her daughter, so she decided to start playing the inner game like she had never played it before.
Today, she believes that it's thanks to these "impossible" boulders that ordinary lives can become epic lives. Meridith is a bestselling author, motivational speaker and coach. She shares her really powerful tools that you will be able to start using today to discover your own epic story and uncover your inner narratives for a thriving life.
Living an epic life involves being in control of how we experience our lives, rather than the opposite. It is about tapping into the power within ourselves to be able to achieve even our most impossible dreams, despite all the reasons why it seems impossible to do so. We must recognize that each of us are capable and can show up as our best selves in order to create a life of fulfillment and success.

This has been quite a ride. It is amazing how all the layers came together to create this show and now to reach 100 episodes. Wow! Reflecting on all the emotions I have experienced, from my own struggle with cancer to the onset of the pandemic, despite feeling overwhelmed and scared, I was driven by the idea of making an impact in people's lives. This was the motivation to start the podcast.
I encourage you to embrace your story to allow you to grow and improve your quality of life. We can empower ourselves to live better lives even when pushed to the limits and ultimately it makes us stronger individuals. It is important to be honest with ourselves even when it is difficult.
You can't stop the storms, but you can prepare. And that is what this is. It's learning how to prepare yourself for what you need to do to keep yourself safe and see the sunshine tomorrow. Because the rain can't last forever.
