How Stories Cause Suffering, Create Identities and Limit Our Experiences

Who would you be without your story? This was the central question in a recent 9-day retreat I experienced and what a journey it took me on! In this episode, I share how I dove deeper into the power of our unquestioned stories and how they create suffering in our lives and eventually solidify into identities that can keep us from being our authentic selves that can experience so many amazing things in the world. This self-reflection was me trying to articulate how much I thought I understood this universal principle of our suffering being optional, only to discover I have so much more to work left to do in understanding my own ego and its games.
