How I completely changed my life (and you can too!)
I thought it was important for me to share this story with you because it’s probably the most significant one that shaped me and my whole outlook on life. I hope that it can spark a little inspiration or serve as a reminder that it’s never too late to change if you are not happy with the current trajectory of your life.
"We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection." - Brené Brown.

We are also the antagonist, the secondary characters and the setting. Only you can decide how many pages are in the book. What you don't control are the volumes.
When I had just met my husband, my sister said to me, "do you really think someone like him is going to be in a serious relationship with you" I thought she was projecting but in reality it's because she didn't really know me, the side that he fell in love with, because I'm reserve with mostly everyone and few people know who I really am. That's how it's been all my life feeling like i don't belong but now I don't mind not belonging and standing on my own.
I love her voice. It's so soothing and can help when you're having a bad day and you just need some advice from a big sis.

I agree. I have a few of Sophie’s videos saved in a favorites playlist because there are so many wonderful lessons that I like to revisit
I decided to change my life recently but never thought it would be that hard. It feels like even my body refuses to leave habits of old life and begin to do things that I really want. I spent about three years in depressed state, and still overcoming it, that's what's making things harder for me. But I know I will get over it. I know I can. But it's harder than it seemed. Your story really is inspiring, and I think I just figured out some things for myself. Thank you.
Sophie, this is so timely. I've been talking to my hubby a lot lately about "changing the narrative", ever since we moved to a new place. 5 years ago, I couldnt code, rollerblade, bake, or dance, and all that changed because I decided to rewrite my narrative. This is so encouraging as I continue to navigate change and growth in life!

"Because everyone's battle is so unique and different." How right you are. I used to play down my mom's narcissm and the pain and trouble she sends the family through and sometimes, I still do. "Hey, some people don't have parents, you do." But it is painful, it is difficult. And accepting that it is a vulnerable part of your soul is the first and most important step. Sending you my support and love!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I could not appreciate it more because I had a similar experience, that I was fostered since an infant and it was an indigenous community. Though I lived with mostly relatives and family friends and not complete strangers, my upbringing was quite turbulent that I had to frequently switch schools, and rotate families. Our physical conditions were very coarse, however, it was mainly the emotional needs of a child not being met. For a long time, I never questioned the way I grew up, always thought it is the way my life is, and internalized my pain and frustration, which led to many negative beliefs in me, such as "I don't deserve to be loved", "others have it better than me" or "no one would listen to me" and difficulty in expressing myself, etc. Your writing and videos are so beautiful, the way you articulated your story has also helped me to process mine. I can resonate so much with your words!

I teared up at the end of the video 🥺🥺 , thank you for sharing this with us, it came at the exact time when I was thinking that we always believe the story we tell ourselves, so we must be careful with the story we choose to embrace, changing the narrative of our story might look like a meaningless step, but it's the first step into changing our lives, it depends on everyone but the foundation of our narrative should come from a place of gratitude not a place of entitlement, a narrative where we feel as the hero and the survivor of our circumstances not a victim, that's what changing the narrative means to me, and as I am writing this comment I am reminding myself of it because it's easy to fall back into the past narrative if we don't constantly remind ourselves with the new one. Have a good week Sophie I am looking forward to seeing your next video 🎁
