Description

What if managing your anxiety was as simple as telling the story of your day? In this episode, we explore how storytelling can soothe anxiety, create meaning, and give you a sense of calm control over life’s ups and downs.

We’ll dive into:

• Why storytelling is more than entertainment—it’s a meaning-making machine
• How your brain changes when you narrate your experiences
• Why redemption stories (not contamination ones) are key to feeling better
