Kelly Pietrangeli is the creator of Project Me, a global movement of women who are ready to show up as their best selves. Blending practical life-management strategies with personal growth inspiration, Kelly will help you to consciously create a life you love.

In this week’s episode, Kelly reflects on the stories we tell ourselves over and over again until they become our truth. We often allow these stories to define us - but what if we chose to tell different stories? And what if, these new stories could bring us more freedom, strength, and joy?

In reflecting on these stories we allow to define us, Kelly shares true facts about her own life and follows each one with the stories she could be telling herself about each one, followed by the story she chooses to believe. From why her father abused her as a little girl, to why her mother worked nights in the factory - Kelly bravely opens up to share the moments of difficulty in her own life, and how she’s chosen tell stories that serve her growth and purpose, rather than keep her small. Kelly reflects on how it’s often difficult to re-write our story, and she shares what she’s done to replace the old stories with new ones. From recognizing when you’re telling this story and hitting pause, using EFT tapping (emotional freedom technique) to help bring your story to the surface to get real about it, to practice loving what is - Kelly’s vulnerability will undoubtedly inspire you to seek out and choose methods and techniques that will allow you to fully blossom into the life you deserve. It’ll also remind you that the stories you have told yourself don’t define you, and you can choose the person that you want to be.

Kelly is also the author of ‘Project Me for Busy Mothers: A Practical Guide to Finding a Happier Balance’, based on her 19 years of motherhood and her popular blog. I’m so grateful for everything that Kelly shared in this week’s episode. The questions she poses throughout her story challenge us all to look at the stories from our past that we’ve allowed to define us, and begin to empower ourselves to live out the beautiful story that’s waiting for all of us.

“Self-limiting beliefs often stem from stories that you’re clinging on to that aren’t serving you. They hold you back from true happiness and success. Begin to bring a gentle awareness to these stories and see if you can give them new meaning. It isn’t about forgetting your past and making things up, it’s about choosing to tell the truth in a less victimizing and more empowering way.”
