Narrative Shift Series

• Symptom chasing keeps you stuck. Don’t just try to shrink anxiety, money stress, or relationship strain.
• Seven common buckets of problems: Heavy emotions · Avoidance/escapism · Identity conflict · Over-preparing/perfectionism/shame · Other people/people-pleasing · Low energy/unsupportive context · Poor use of time & money.
• The growth alternative: Instead of shrinking problems, grow your whole life — courage, happiness, mindset, relationships.
• Why growth works:
  1. Bigger life makes problems feel smaller.
  2. More capacity means more resources to solve problems.
• Organic health improvement: Growth naturally balances physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual health.
• Relationships: Growth strengthens marriages, parenting, friendships, and influence — before crises happen.
• Money: Growth makes purchases mindful, spending strategic, and wealth creation sustainable.
• Signs of growth at work: Calm, resilient, hopeful · Engaged, not numbing · Present in leisure · Purposeful rest · Compassionate & repair-oriented in relationships · Goal-directed with supportive environments.
• Bottom line: Growth fixes problems more deeply and permanently than chasing symptoms.

Mini self-check (10s):
Which of the seven problem buckets has the strongest grip on you right now? If that one quieted down for a week, how would your life change?

• Identity > Tactics: Real change happens by shifting identity narratives, not by chasing quick fixes.
• Above the Line: When you’re your best self, you create, connect, and contribute.
• Below the Line: Hard events knock you down — but narrative keeps you there.
• Toxic Narratives:
  · Escapism → scrolling, binging, numbing.
  · Victimology → stuck in blame, waiting for others.
  · Survivalism → “just getting by” as identity.
• Neutralizing Narratives:
  · Escapism → Engagement
  · Survivalism → Playfulness & Experimenting
  · Victimology → Radical Self-Care
• The More Map: Tactics only stick if tied to a deeper narrative. Cold plunges, workouts, diets — they only last if the story behind them is meaningful.
• Core Power: You are built to be the author of your own narratives — about yourself, others, and the world. That’s your real leverage point.

Mini self-check (10s): Which of the three toxic narratives (Escapism, Survivalism, Victimology) grips you most right now? If it vanished this week, what would shift first?

• Nobody can shift your narrative for you. But nobody can stop you either.
• Static vs. Signal: The world is full of static. Your problems are your psyche’s way of saying: “tune in.”
• Your signal comes from inside. Following someone else’s signal leads to the wrong strategies.
• Nine-Step Proven Path: Purpose → Truth → Choose → Old Story → Experience Old Story → New Story → Ritualize → Track → Recalibrate.
• Steps 4–6 are the hardest to do alone. That’s why community support matters.
• Better compounds: Growth in one area (health, relationships, money) spills into the others.
• Results: 94% report better health, 90% stronger relationships, 87% better finances.

Mini self-check (10s): Which area is calling for your attention right now — health, relationships, or money? If you tuned into your own signal, what’s the next tiny action you’d take?

• Proven Path: Your growth does the fixing.
• Sequence: Health → Relationships → Money (they compound).
• Workshops: 90 min · content → journaling → breakout → Q&A.
• Culture: Code of Silence — what’s shared here, stays here.
• Time: It’s never about enough; it’s about trading.
• Money: It always returns. Think returns, not costs.
• Spouse: Never ask permission to grow.
• Shame: Human-made, thrives in silence. You are not alone.

Mini self-check (10s): Which objection grips you most right now — time, money, spouse, or shame? If it went quiet for one week, what would change first?
