Your Stories Dont Define You, How You Tell Them Will

409 Expanding Your Comfort Zone   In today's episode Sarah Elkins ruminates on how she has expanded her comfort zone by stepping into what she calls the "stretch zone", where you aren't entirely comfortable yet but willing to try just so that you can see what you're made of. If we never stretch our wings, we'll be trapped in the nest forever, so have faith in yourself, step into your stretch zone, and see how far it can take you.    Highlights Telling stories to connect with another, not to change their mind.  Taking time to calibrate yourself and find inner peace.  Turning your stretch zone into your comfort zone, one step at a time.    Quotes "The stories we share influence how we're perceived, and even when a listener isn't consciously aware they're picking up signals about who we are and whether we can be trusted." "To be comfortable with discomfort we have to embrace and define what our comfort zone looks like, and how it feels." About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences
