The Inside Story Podcast with April Adams PertuisWhen You're "Too Much"Have you ever been called too much of anything?
I’d be willing to bet that at some point, each one of us has been judged, labeled, and called “too much” of something by other people. And I’m pretty sure we’ve listened to what others say about us far more than we should, and actually believed their words even when we know they’re not true.
It’s no wonder we find ourselves exhausted from trying to be what everyone expects us to be, instead of being who we really are. Learn more about your ad choices. Vi...

The Inside Story Podcast with April Adams PertuisSelf-editing Your StoryLet’s face it: we find it so much easier to share our story if we can leave out those parts we think are not good enough to be told.
But when we downplay and edit out what could be the most important pieces of our story, we’re not giving our voices and our full stories a chance to be heard by those who need to hear it.
And yes, there are people who will gain inspiration and encouragement from our story, which is why it needs to be told and not edited out in a way that can dimi...

What started out as something casual quickly became a more thoughtful and intentional practice. She began to notice tiny stories and documented them with her lens. Learn more about your ad choices.

So many of us get stuck and never move forward with our plans and goals because we’re scared of not being able to do it right the first time. We’re scared to make mistakes because failure hurts.

It’s not so much that I’m ashamed of it. It’s because I don’t want it to define me as a person, and I don’t want to offend somebody dealing with this differently from me… so much so that as a result, I’ve been keeping myself from discussing it.
It’s about my life-long battle with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The Inside Story Podcast with April Adams PertuisHow to Harness the Power of Your StoryStories are powerful. They can teach us, give us hope and encouragement, provide comfort, inspire people, and transform lives.
On the other end of the spectrum, these same stories can also leave us feeling defeated, ashamed, and tied to an invisible chain.
