Breathe, Write, Rewire: Experiencing the Life-Altering Impact of Storywork Coaching
Struggling with inner turmoil, stress, or just feeling stuck? This podcast episode may have the key to shifting your mindset.
Diving into the transformative methodology of “story work,” host Brent interviews master coach Dave Robinson about this powerful self-talk reframing process. Tracing Dave’s winding career journey through coaching, finance, and even a failed retreat in Mexico, we learn what ultimately led him to discover his life’s purpose in story work.
Stepping into a real-time demonstration, Dave skillfully guides Brent through identifying core money anxieties and reshaping those internal narratives in a way that dramatically shifts Brent’s outlook in mere minutes.
Through this raw coaching exchange, listeners gain deep insight into what makes story work uniquely effective at catalyzing change:
● The structured process of writing out limiting stories calms the nervous system, creating space to gain objectivity about our own thought patterns
● Verbally recounting traumatic or difficult experiences enables us to literally hear things from a different, more detached perspective
● Strategically reframing negative “I should” statements into positive “I can” affirmations lifts away layers of pressure and blame
● Adding intentional breathing to reading transformed narratives helps anchor them as newly empowered beliefs
If you find yourself struggling with any of the following, this episode may provide a pivotal perspective shift:
● Beating yourself up with a persistent inner critic
● Living in financial lack or scarcity mindsets
● Feeling haunted by past traumatic experiences
● Being stuck in negative thought loops or overwhelm
As Dave reminds us, “Our words impact our breath. Our breath drives our physiology.” Are you ready to harness the power of story work to drive lasting transformation from the inside out? Tune in now.
