    Your Stories Change Your Life

    en-gbSeptember 13, 2022

    Podcast Summary

    • The Power of Stories and Their Impact on Our IdentityRoald Dahl's stories and others have the power to shape our identity and beliefs. Be intentional about the stories you consume to influence your personal growth.

      The stories we engage with and the messages they convey can significantly shape our identity and the person we become. Roald Dahl's stories, in particular, instilled a sense of childlike wonder, imagination, and the belief in one's ability to make a difference in the world. These narratives, through repetition, become ingrained in our unconscious and contribute to the patchwork of experiences and beliefs that make us who we are. Today, we have the power to control the stories we consume and the impact they have on our lives. By being intentional about the stories we invite into our minds, we can influence our own personal growth and development. So, on this Roald Dahl Day, take a moment to reflect on the stories that have shaped you and consider the ones you want to invite in moving forward.

    • Believe in Yourself and Keep GoingDespite challenges, trust in your inner strength and ability to overcome them, take deep breaths, and keep moving forward.

      No matter what challenges you're facing today or what state of mind you're in, you have the inner strength and ability to get through it. The speaker's reassuring words remind us that we all have 100% got this, and that we should keep pushing forward. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the day-to-day stresses and struggles, but it's important to remember that we have the power within us to overcome them. So, take a deep breath, keep moving forward, and trust in your own abilities. The speaker will be back tomorrow with more positivity and encouragement, but until then, believe in yourself and keep going.

    While Your Mindset Shifts Over Time, Your Purpose May Not

    Sometimes in life we will all have moments where we think to ourselves, “Is this really who I want to be? Is this how I want my story to impact others?” and we either wonder or plan for the next steps in becoming the person we want to be. 

    In this episode Sarah Elkins and her guest Tony Michaelides, an accomplished Author and former Music Industry Executive, discuss the importance of being authentic in your stories and how they influence your audience in a way that is for the better instead of being outrageous and telling your stories for the glory of having a legacy.


    Highlights

    • It's okay to be lousy when you first try something.
    • In order to pursue your dreams you have to be willing to be uncomfortable in order to learn what you need to do.
    • How many people can you benefit by being your authentic self?
    • The influence of being insistent on personal growth.
    • Show appreciation for the road life has lead you on.

    Quotes

    Be true to yourself, don't find yourself being lead down a road of uncertainty.

    There comes a time in your life when you stand back and say "what about me?" and that's not being selfish towards others, that's just putting yourself in the mix. 

    We can be heroes if just for today.

    About Tony Michaelides (from his website):

    Having spent thirty plus years in the music industry and working with some of the world’s leading artists I could see that big changes were about to happen. It was clearly time for me to make a change too so after being labelled an “Alien of Extraordinary Ability” for services to the music and arts I was awarded a green card, packed my bags and headed out to America for the next part of my journey. As I began writing my first book it dawned on me that I had learned a lot from both the artists I had worked with together with the people I like to call ‘music industry insiders.’ I started to take ‘The Lessons Learned from Rock and Roll’ out on to the road and to numerous events internationally.

    As I was writing my second book, ‘Moments That Rock’ I decided to keep the lessons separate and to release them as a series of E Books and Audio books. My ‘Moments That Rock’ became a storytelling podcast and a new dawn beckoned. If I can no longer do what I did then why not talk about it? The Lessons Learned from Rock and Roll is not exclusive and can be applied to anyone. It opens people’s eyes in to what it takes to be a real Rock Star.


    ABOUT SARAH:

    "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."

    In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I’ve realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don’t realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they’re sharing them with.

    My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.

    The audiobook, Your Stories Don’t Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available!

    Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

    #63 Shawn Ryan - The Guardian Angel Who Guided Me to Become a Warrior for God
    We're taking a step back from our regularly scheduled programming to talk about something we find vital to life: Faith. If you're a fan of the show, you know that Shawn is always seeking truth and questioning the status quo. This type of work is rewarding, but challenging. Between the fog of his past on the battlefield and exposing evil here at home, the light was hard for Shawn to see sometimes. It is in that darkness that God showed up. This episode is about Shawn's journey to Faith & Christ. It's a testimony we hope inspires you. If you are struggling to find faith, we hope this episodes encourages you to look around and see that God is around you always.
