#129 - How To Break Free Of The Stories Holding You Back

Ahren Lynch-Potter

In today’s honest and raw episode, host Ahren Lynch-Potter talks about how the stories we tell ourselves can really hold us back in life. He shares how a lot of the struggles we face—whether it’s emotional pain, anxiety, or even thoughts of suicide—come from the stories we’ve picked up over time. These stories, often tied to past trauma, shape how we see ourselves and what we think we deserve. Ahren gets real about how recognizing these stories and changing how we think about ourselves can lead to true freedom and healing. From his experience coaching people through their own journeys, he offers practical advice on rewriting those old narratives and stepping into a healthier, more loving version of yourself. If you’ve ever felt stuck or weighed down by your past, this episode is definitely for you.
