The Power of Stories - Turning Obstacles into Opportunities Teri Kansted

This Episode

Paola Acero is a Colombian living in Berlin.

When she found herself in a crisis of sinusitis from April to August 2020, which affected her productivity, self-image as an achiever and emotional health deeply, she became aware that this was a reaction from her body to alert her of her unhealthy lifestyle and mindset, which manifested itself as a physical difficulty to breathe and get enough oxygen to her brain. This led to her transforming her routines and change her mindset towards a more fulfilling, balanced and enjoyable life. Not only did she recover significantly but it also opened the door to be more flexible and let everything her life (routines, relationships, goals, structures) to breathe. Sinusitis was a tremendous gift that changed her philosophy of life.

Paola helps people and organisations communicate ideas in powerful, constructive ways, that foster inclusion, cooperation and change in multicultural environments towards more equal and just societies that coexist in balance with nature.

You can find Paola on Facebook or Instagram



The Show

Each Monday I'll be sharing inspirational stories from people from all walks of life who's faced a variety of difficulties and obstacles and how they changed those into opportunities for growth, learning and change.

The idea being that these episodes will inspire and motivate you if you're also feeling stuck and struggling.



Disclaimer

This podcast will be for mature people who don't mind the odd swearing and who won't get triggered by raw stories of hardship.

As I'm talking to people from all walks of life, their belief systems might not match yours, but that's okay, you can still learn something and see life through someone else's perspective.

I stand for and promote a culture of imperfection – so, this won’t be perfect. We’re all just making do with what we have 😉

Hi! I'm Teri Kansted. I'm a Dane, a counsellor, a psychologist, narrative coach, writer, bibliophile and many other things. I'm a keen collector of stories and I help people examine theirs to see if they're living a life that serves them or hinders them and how to create a narrative that is expansive and beautiful.

There's a number of ways to get to know me better, such as following me on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, or check out my website, or, if you're a Linkedin lover, say hello. I also offer a FREEBIE on my website, as well as a free personal development group on Facebook.

I'm a narrative coach and as such I'm deeply fascinated by stories - especially the stories we tell ourselves which may help us or hinder us in creating the life we want and getting unstuck from tricky or painful situations/experiences. I know that by changing our story we can literally change our lives and part of that is learning how to see obstacles as opportunities - but exactly how do you do that?

Each Monday I'll be sharing inspirational stories from people from all walks of life who's faced a variety of difficulties and obstacles and how they changed those into opportunities for growth, learning and change.

If you'd like to know more about me or my story, I share bits in episode 1 and am generally an open book on both my website and social media.
