The Story You Avoid Is the One That Will Set You Free
About this episode
The story you most avoid is the story that has real power.
In this episode, Kellan breaks down the difference between facts and interpretation — and why the meaning you assign to your past is either imprisoning you or empowering you.
He shares personal experiences, including childhood wounds, mistakes, shame, and the long road of rewriting what those events meant. Because the power is never in what happened.
The power is in what you make it mean.
