105: What If Everything You Believed About Yourself Was a Lie?

I used to wonder if my story really mattered. Maybe you’ve felt that too — like your experiences were too messy, too personal, or not “far enough along” to share.

 But here’s what I’ve learned: Your story is your superpower. It’s not just what you’ve been through — it’s how you got through it. And when you know how to tell that story with purpose, you don’t just inspire — you connect, you serve, and you start making the impact you were born to make. 

That’s why I created Becoming a Storyteller & Creating Impact — a self-paced course to help you craft your story, speak with confidence, and start using your voice to truly make a difference. Whether you're a new coach, a speaker, or someone who just knows they’re meant for more — this is your starting point. 

It’s just $49 — and it’s going to change how you see yourself and your story.

What if everything you believed about yourself was a lie?  What if the rules you lived by—the ones meant to protect you—were actually the chains holding you back? In this raw and powerful episode, we begin a two-part conversation with Carrie Myers, a woman who’s walked through some of life’s deepest wounds and emerged with a fire to help others break free. 

 Carrie shares her journey of growing up in a strict Christian household where perfection was the standard and emotions were quietly tucked away. She opens up about her battle with anorexia, the years spent in an emotionally draining marriage, and the silent ache of living by rules that suffocated her true self. But Carrie didn’t stay stuck in survival mode—she fought her way out. And in doing so, she discovered something unshakable: her voice, her strength, and her purpose.  

This episode isn’t just about pain—it’s about awakening. It’s about the moment you realize that who you’ve been trying to be isn’t who you really are. That the version of yourself built for approval, performance, or religious expectation doesn’t have to be the one that stays.  Together, we talk about identity, trauma, faith, and the power of naming what’s been unspoken for far too long. Carrie’s journey will challenge you to take an honest look at the stories you’ve been telling yourself—and invite you to step into the freedom of a life rewritten in truth. 

 If this conversation speaks to your soul, be sure to tune in for Part 2, where we go even deeper into the work of healing, reclaiming self-worth, and using your story to make an impact.
