About this listen

Are the stories you tell yourself holding you back? After all, there's always more than one way to tell the same story. You could be a victim of tragic circumstances or a hero who survived them. The way we interpret our past influences our identities, but it doesn’t have to define who we are forever. This week, I’m joined by Lauren Sisler, a sports journalist, broadcaster, and author of Shatterproof. Lauren shares her remarkable story of navigating unimaginable loss, overcoming shame, and redefining her narrative to build resilience and mental strength — not just for herself but to inspire and support others. Some of the things we discuss are: How the stories we believe about ourselves can shape our mental health, for better or worse. The challenges Lauren faced after unexpectedly losing both parents in one night. Why Lauren kept the truth about her parents’ deaths hidden for seven years and how she finally found the courage to share. How to rewrite your narrative in a way that fosters healing, growth, and self-compassion. The mental strength it takes to face shame and use your story to create meaningful connections.
