What if the story you’ve been telling yourself… isn’t true?
In this moving and eye-opening episode, I sit down with award-winning journalist and author Jehan Casinader, whose book This Is Not How It Ends shook me—in the best way.
We explore how the stories we carry (often from childhood) shape how we live, love, lead… and burn out.
We dive into:
- The one question Jehan asks to instantly shift his mindset
- How loneliness and overwork hide behind outward success
- Why your identity is not your job—and how to let go
- A simple 4-part framework for storytelling that connects and influences
- What’s broken in modern content creation—and how to stand out with substance
Jehan opens up with honesty and heart. If you’ve ever felt like your life looks great on paper but feels off on the inside—this one’s for you.
