This week, Tee welcomes Carrie KC West for a deep discussion centered on the profound impacts of negative self-talk on mental and physical Health, including increased Anxiety, Depression, Stress-related Health issues, and eroded self-esteem. Carrie, a renowned author, speaker, and life story coach, shares her personal journey from a challenging childhood influenced by her mother’s Mental Health struggles to becoming a guiding light for others. 

In addition, Carrie explains her approach to helping clients rewrite their “life stories” to foster better mental and physical Health. Her book, Life Rewritten, explores how our internal narratives shape our Health, Relationships, and success. With a background in both counseling psychology and storytelling (MFA in Filmmaking from the American Film Institute), she bridges the gap between emotional well-being and the stories that hold us back. This episode provides valuable insights into how understanding and altering our personal stories can lead to a more fulfilled and healthy life.
