Who Told You?
03/16/23 • 82 min
This episode focuses on the narrative we tell ourselves to create the image we want. Andre and Anitra challenge “stinking thinking” and focus on understanding our personal story through life’s truth. We learn to avoid filtering what we want rather than honoring the truth. The siblings discuss what you have to do to preserve yourself and move forward as you accept the truth. This episode examines the depth of understanding our personal narratives and fighting the internal negatives that lead us to false truth. Let’s examine our character, challenge the stories that we embellish and face the journey's authenticity. Telling your truth leads to your best self.
Memorable quotes:
- “My story isn't what I want so I create what I want.” Andre
- “I don't want everyone to see my truth.” Anitra
- “I have to tolerate the pain that comes with my truth. “ Andre
- “The narrative impacts actions and creates tangible lifestyles. “ Anitra
- “Own your chapters so others can know the depth of your story. “ Andre
- “We create these filters that make us feel safe.” Anitra
