Personal Story Coach

About Personal Story Coach

On this podcast, we explore the notion that the way we experience and interpret the world is heavily influenced by the stories we tell about it. We believe that stories play a powerful role in shaping our perceptions and beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world around us. Whether we realize it or not, the stories we tell ourselves and each other influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions in profound ways. We delve into the ways in which our interpretations of the world impact our lives, and how paying attention to our narratives can create positive change in ourselves and the world.

   What Grounds the Modern Man (with Dr. Larry Green) Episode 7

   In this conversation with psychotherapist, artist, and philosopher, Dr. Larry Green, Larry notes that, in our current context of social change, the social and psychological containers that helped men function well in earlier times have disappeared. It is up to men to do now for themselves what they can no longer rely on society to do for them: create an ecosystem that supports them enough to allow them to show up as real servants of our common life. You can learn more about Larry's art and psychotherapy through his website (https://larrygreen.ca). Larry can be contacted at genero@telus.net. #mensmentalhealth #masculinity #socialchange For more information on what I'm up to and what I offer, go to https://personalstorycoach.com where you can see how you can work with me. In addition to a paid mastermind group for men and private coaching regardless of gender, I have a program where, in just 3 months, I help men who feel stuck find and embrace courage so that they live fully, taking advantage of every opportunity available to them, without being defeated by their fears or regrets.

   Why "Six Ways to Manage Your Stress" Won't Cut It (Episode 5)

   In this podcast, we explore the limitations of the common advice to manage stress through a few simple techniques. While these techniques, such as exercise, meditation, and time management, can be helpful in some cases, they often fail to address the root causes of stress and may even add more pressure to an already overwhelmed individual. We discuss why stress is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires a personalized approach, including addressing both our physical and mental state, as well as the narrative frameworks we use to make sense of the world. If you've been struggling with stress and feeling like the typical tips and tricks aren't cutting it, this podcast is for you. We'll provide practical insights and actionable steps to help you tackle stress in a more holistic and sustainable way. So, tune in to learn why "six ways to manage your stress' won't cut it," and what you can do instead.

   Episode 3: What Is Yours To Do?

   Now, near the beginning of the new year, is a great time to look back over the last "chapter," and ask "What am I grateful for?" Then, looking ahead to the next chapter, ask "What do I want to happen? Who do I want to be?" Connected to this looking forward is the question, What is yours to do?

   Episode 2: What do we do with our suffering?

   Suffering is not something to be glorified or tolerated, but it is a natural part of the human experience. How we approach suffering and the way we choose to interpret it allows suffering to be something that can serve us. It depends on the story we choose to tell ourselves.
