Stories That Keep Us Stuck with Carrie Rowan

Is the story you’re telling yourself helping you bounce back—or keeping you stuck?

A disappointment becomes a prediction. A setback becomes a statement about your worth. Before you know it, one difficult experience starts writing the script for what you believe is possible.

This week on Look for the Good, Carrie Rowan continues October’s resilience series with a revealing look at the stories running beneath our everyday lives. Through relatable examples, humor, and practical insights, she explores how those familiar inner narratives can make adversity feel heavier—and how to begin opening the door to something better.

• Why an old story may still be making decisions in your adult life
