    3 | 5: Are You Ready to Hear What You Can't See?

    Summary What if the feedback you don’t want to hear is exactly what you need to hear? In this episode, Bri explores the power of receiving honest feedback—and how learning to stop taking things personally can open the door to incredible growth. Inspired by a conversation with her daughter, Bri shares how her own relationship with feedback has changed over the years, how feedback can reveal blind spots, and why being willing to sit in a little discomfort can help us become a more expanded version of ourselves. Plus, Bri challenges you to try a 24-hour feedback challenge: ask someone you trust, “What’s one thing you think I could improve?” Then listen. No defending. No explaining.

    3 | 3: The Story I’m Telling Myself

    How to Stop Overthinking, Get to the Facts & Find Your Next Step Summary We’ve all had moments where our minds run wild with a story about what someone is thinking, why they haven’t responded, or how a situation is going to play out. In this episode, Bri explores the difference between the facts we actually know and the stories we create around them—and how our brains often try to fill in uncertainty with assumptions, predictions, and interpretations. You’ll learn a simple framework for getting out of the spiral: What do I actually know? What story am I telling myself? And what is actually mine to do? Bri also shares a powerful phrase for navigating difficult conversations: “The story I’m telling myself is…”—a simple way to stop mind-reading, create space for honest communication, and take your next step from clarity rather than overthinking. Takeaways Recognize that facts are what actually happened, stories are how we interpret them. Use a two-column approach to separate facts from stories in your mind. Ask yourself what you know for sure and what you're assuming. Focus on what is within your control and take appropriate action. Start conversations by sharing the story you're telling yourself to foster understanding.
