The idea of doing our story work, probably seems like an abstract and intangible thing for the vast majority us, isn’t it just new age jargon left for likes of silicon valley founders or permanently self-reflective podcasters?

It’s often said that to find happiness we must find meaning in our life, or a sense of purpose, but, you can’t have either before knowing your story and what ultimately drives you to achieve things in life.

And if this is the case then that would suggest that you cannot achieve happiness without first knowing - or finding - your story.

Today’s guest Dr Joey Liu is renowned for helping her clients do their sacred story work, she’s also a mother, wife, coach, educator, writer and much more.

The conversation is quite deep in parts as we tapped into some self reflective work and insecurities I’ve had in looking at my own story as it relates to the podcast and my motivation to continue having these conversations.

The start is a little bit different as we begin with a guided meditation by Joey. So if you are driving, please do not participate and just skip through this using the chapters.

But if you are in a safe place to do, so I welcome you to join us, it’s a really way to kick off the episode.

Joey, and I discuss:

Kundalini Yoga

Knowing your values before stating your vision

Joey and I's experience’s of being told that we think too much

How to trace negative self-talk, back to where it came

How to hear and trust your inner voice.

The difference between community and Society

Joey's tips on how to find a community

How Joey manifested her husband

And much more

Please enjoy my conversation with Dr Joey Liu.
