Fire Your Narrator! by Valerie Gordon

Looking from the outside, you have it all together. You're smart, talented, and accomplished. On the inside, you think you're not enough. You've got a harsh voice that talks you through your day, second-guessing actions and ruminating on past mistakes.

Say hello to your narrator, a voice familiar to you ... because it is you! And yet, it's holding you back from feeling happy and fulfilled. It's time to take back ownership of your most important story-the one you tell yourself.

Award-winning producer and expert storyteller Valerie Gordon dives into the powerful stories we tell ourselves and how our narrator-our subconscious voice-affects our actions and our success. Like a coffee date with your best friend, this relatable guide provides laughs, compassion, and practical tools to identify your own narrator and recast the role with a positive, more productive voice.

You'll discover:

• Ten common types of inner-story narrators, like The Critic or The People Pleaser.
• The origin of your narrative thoughts in your past, so you can master them in your present.
• How to pinpoint beneficial emotions behind negative narrator talk and change your response.
• Red-flag words and how to spot them before your inner narrator gets too loud.
• The secret to flipping that unhelpful internal script for a clearer, happier future.

Crafting a better story starts with the one you tell yourself. Get Fire Your Narrator! now for the power to recast your narrator and rewrite your story!
