The Stories You Learned About Yourself and How They’re Still Deciding for You
Show notes
You probably have a word for yourself.
Type A. The one who can handle everything. The helpful one. The strong one.
Maybe it arrived as a compliment and stayed as a cage. Maybe it landed so early you stopped noticing it was there at all.
But it's running. Underneath the decisions you make before you've thought them through. The things you reach for. The things you quietly write off before anyone else gets the chance to weigh in.
In high school, Andi's classmates used one word to describe her.
Miedosa. Fearful.
And here's the uncomfortable part.
They weren't entirely wrong.
In this episode, Andi explores what happens when something true becomes too true. When one real thing about you quietly becomes the whole definition, you live inside. And what that definition has been deciding for you, without your permission, without you noticing, ever since.
What happens when one true thing about you becomes the only thing that counts?
