Words That will Change Your World: Get Ready for a Transformation
Tuesday Aug 08, 2023
Tuesday Aug 08, 2023
Words have power. Stories are important. They’re meaningful. Especially the stories we tell ourselves. Cause the words we use to craft the stories we tell define what we believe we’re capable of.
Think about the bonkers stories people are telling these days. Stories that rewrite the past, distort the present and gaslight the future.
Some people are telling QAnon stories…where dark cabals of satanic pedophiles are haunting pizza shops and drinking the blood of children for adrenochrome.
There are conspiratorial stories about flat earths. Stories of woke evil haunting the shadows of a society gone mad. Stories frame our brains…and some of the frames are as crooked as the Christian used car salesman in Kelowna who stole 50K from me
You want hear some whoppers? Yeah OK…I got a few…and that's what this episode is about.
