I told him a story about how women could not do or say a particular subject. \n\nThinking about it now...it was a limiting story that I tried to get him to align and agree with. He didn’t buy my smallness and ignored what I had to say. It was such a learning lesson for me. I so got it. He was not going to buy my lies about what women can do or not do. That was my story. Not his. \n\nFrom this situation, I learned so much about the stories I was telling. I now catch myself much more often when I’m speaking and thinking stories that do not create more for my life. \n\nXO,\nJoanna\n"}
