The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Rewriting Your Inner Narrative

You know that voice inside your head—the one that whispers

“you’re too much” or

“you should be farther along by now”?

Yeah.

That one.

Most of us have a running narrative that was shaped before we even had a say in it.

For some of us, it started in childhood. Maybe it was the way our parents talked to us, or didn’t talk to us. The pressure to perform, to be the good girl, the responsible one. Or maybe you were the black sheep, misunderstood, navigating big emotions in a house that didn’t know how to hold them.

And now?

You’re grown.

You’ve got a job (or two), a home to manage, kids to care for, a body that needs rest and nourishment, and a mind that won’t quit.

And yet—there it is again. That story.

“I’m failing.”

“I don’t have time.”

“I’m not good at taking care of myself.”

“I’ll rest when everything else is done.”

But what if that story isn’t actually yours?

What if it was handed to you—wrapped in societal expectations, trauma responses, and outdated beliefs about what it means to be a woman, a mother, a partner, a person who matters?

What if you could rewrite it?

Here’s what I want you to know:

You can.

You must.

And it starts by noticing.

Notice when your thoughts feel heavy. When they sound like shame or fear. When they keep you small.

Name them.

Question them.

Ask, “Is this true? Or is this just familiar?”

And then—write something new.

“I’m learning how to care for myself.”

“I’m allowed to ask for help.”

“I am not behind. I am exactly where I need to be.”

“My needs matter.

My voice matters. I matter.”

This is how transformation starts. Not with a crash diet or a perfect planner. But with tiny shifts in the way you speak to yourself. The way you see yourself. The way you choose to believe in a different ending.

Because you’re not broken.

You’re not lazy.

You’re not too emotional.

You’re human.

You’ve lived through hard things.

And you’re still here.

That means something.

It’s time to honor the truth of who you are—not the story you were taught to believe.
