But that one belief quietly shaped decades of decisions... a business started against her gut, an identity she felt she had to become, and a life driven by something she didn't even realize was there.\n\nUntil she saw it.\n\nIn this episode, Dr. Bruce and Rene Stevens unpack the unconscious stories that run our lives... the ones we never intentionally wrote but somehow end up living by. Rene follows the thread all the way back and discovers something she never expected: freedom wasn't found in proving who she was. It was found in remembering who she had been all along.\n\n*\"It's an honor to be your wife.\"*\n\nThat's not settling.  That's arriving.\n\nIf you've ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns, making decisions you can't fully explain, or feeling like you're always trying to prove something, this conversation will help you look beneath the behavior and find the story underneath it.\n\nBecause the world didn't hand you your life.\nIt handed you a story about your life.\n\nAnd freedom begins the moment you're willing to ask if that story is even true.\n"}
