Join Joshua T. Berglan, The World’s Mayor, for a profound exploration into the power of the stories we tell ourselves with special guest Dr. Rob Carpenter – UCLA professor, former professional athlete, and thriller novelist. In this episode, excerpted from the “UnMasking Humanity” series, Dr. Carpenter uncovers how we are “meaning-making machines” and how our personal narratives shape our reality. Discover insights on reclaiming authorship of your story, the transformative practice of gratitude as an antidote to negativity, the strength found in vulnerable leadership, and how creativity is an inherent skill we can all cultivate. Learn why resilience isn’t about bouncing back, but bouncing forward to who you’re meant to be. This conversation invites you to unmask the power of your own narrative and its connection to Consciousness and the divine spark within.
To dive deeper into this and other transformative conversations, find Joshua T. Berglan’s book, “UnMasking Humanity: A Journey Into the Heart of Being.
