Self-Talk: A new narrative. A life-changing experience.

Self-talk: Who would have thought a simple idea could be life changing?

I connected with the amazing women founders of selftalk.space at the DraperU mentorship program. At first, I knew this was a wonderful idea to help change your narrative — I signed up and answered a few questions online.

A few days later, I received an email for my name pronunciation, and then a few days after I received an audio file of my self-talk. About 80% was right where I wanted it to be, but there were a few things that definitely didn’t feel like me.

And I had a chance to rewrite my self-talk in my own words — to include the negative stories that I have been telling myself and turn it into a positive light. This has been life-changing. Wow, the power of penning down those words is instrumental.

And then I just as I do, I shared it with my true friends and it morphed into something more beautiful. Like a caterpillar turning into butterfly :)

When I shared it with my mentee and a dear friend, she created a visual art out of my self-talk. Now, this is an idea worth sharing. I love it!! It even has a butterfly :)

And now I’ve created bookmarks out of those words from the visual art.
