We all carry a collection of stories—memories, interpretations, and emotional imprints formed through childhood, relationships, successes, failures, loss and other experiences. These stories are not just recollections; they are frameworks through which you understand yourself and the world. Sometimes they empower you; other times they limit you. But one truth remains consistent: the stories of your past influence you, and it’s important to know what they are, and that they don’t have to define you if they don’t fit who you want to be.

In today’s episode of Your Personal Power Pod, we look at the stories your past, how they influence you, and what you can do to change them.

We want to hear from you, whether it’s your stories about how self-esteem and personal power affect your life, or topics you’d like us to address in future episodes.

We’ve all had years that are difficult, and this year has been one of those for Shannon and Sandy. We’re so grateful to you, our wonderful listener, for continuing to listen to Your Personal Power Pod as we shared Power Pops, Favorites and Minisodes instead of new episodes. Today we’re excited to be back starting Season 6 with a new episode where we talk about why we were running those other things, and the challenges and joys we’ve experienced in 2025.

Today, we’re running one of Shannon’s favorite episodes with a new intro telling us why she picked this one.

When you have so much going on that you’re struggling to cope with it all, or you’re dealing with a specific stressful situation, you might feel overwhelmed. Being overwhelmed can cause you to be flooded by thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations that are difficult to manage.

Feeling overwhelmed is a normal response to everyday stressors. Things like constant news, social media, phones always demanding your attention, general work and family challenges, etc. can cause overwhelm. But when it becomes constant it can create problems.

In today’s episode we look at feeling overwhelmed, what causes it and what you can do to control it.

Today, we’re running one of Sandy’s favorite episodes with a new intro telling us why she picked this one.

Your identity is how you and society define you, based on a wide variety of things from your family, nationality, age and ethnicity to your social standing, appearance, and job. When you have a solid sense of self, you are in charge of your personal identity, and you will be mentally, physically and emotionally healthy. However, when things in your personal or social life change, your identity might be shaken and you could feel lost and confused. In today’s episode of Your Personal Power Pod, we talk about your identity, where it comes from, what happens when it shifts, and the value of validation.

We want to hear from you, whether it’s your stories about how self-esteem and personal power affect your life, or topics you’d like us to address in future episodes.

Today, we’re running one of Shannon’s favorite episodes with a new intro telling us why she picked this one.

When you are stuck, it means that you are unable to move from a particular position or place, are at a loss for ideas or vision, or feel powerless to change a situation. You can be stuck in a relationship, a career path or work setting, a pattern of behavior, a physical place, trying to make a large or small decision, and a wide number of other situations. At times, being stuck can be OK, because it’s familiar and you know what to expect. But if it lasts too long, staying stuck can cause you stress and anxiety, interfere with your happiness, and stop your professional and personal growth. In today’s episode of Your Personal Power Pod, we talk about what it means to be stuck, what happens when you are, and what you can do about it.
