Have you been telling the same version of your story for so long it started to feel like a performance instead of the truth?

This week I sit down with Elizabeth Brett, a former NBC reporter turned storytelling coach, to talk about what happens when we stop polishing our stories and start telling the true ones.

Elizabeth spent almost a decade shaping thirty-minute interviews into ninety-second segments, covering everything from presidential campaigns to hurricanes, to the Olympics. Somewhere in the middle of that career, she left it all behind after a heartbreak that made her question everything, and built a new one helping women find their voice.

We talk about:

- The difference between your origin story and what Elizabeth calls your North Star story

- Her sovereignty filter for knowing what's actually yours to share, and when

- A near-death experience in the ocean with her daughter that reshaped how she shows up

- Why your story was never really about you in the first place

And yes, we also talk mocktails, because a girl's gotta relax at the end of the day too.
