Epi 36: “The Story You Tell Yourself”

Hosts: Alex Runolfson & John Cottrell

What story are you telling yourself--and is it one worth living?

In this expressive, heartfelt, and often hilarious episode, Alex and John explore the power of storytelling--not just as an art form, but as a tool for healing, embodiment, and transformation.

From childhood memories of The Chronicles of Narnia and Jurassic Park to the way they help clients reframe trauma, the hosts unpack how narrative shapes identity. You'll learn how the stories we carry--whether about our worth, our profession, or our purpose--can either keep us small or guide us into fuller authenticity.

Whether you identify as a clinician, a healer, a yogi, or a wizard, this episode invites you to examine:

- Are you the hero, victim, or villain in your own life?

- Is your outer world reflecting your inner truth?

- Are you wearing your magic--or hiding it behind a polo shirt?

With practical tools like rewriting your origin story, embodying your role through movement, and reimagining your daily tasks as mythic quests, this conversation invites you to fully live your story--not just tell it.
