Will Storr: How to Break Free from the N...

BAUER MEDIA
About this episode

Every decision you make is shaped by an invisible narrative… and most people don’t even realise it. Award-winning writer and storyteller Will Storr joins Roxie to explore how the narratives we create about ourselves can shape — and sometimes limit — who we become.

Drawing on his research into psychology, identity, and the science of storytelling, Will reveals how to spot the unhelpful scripts you’re following, reframe them, and take back creative control over your life.

Expect practical advice on building a stronger sense of self, finding meaning in your experiences, and crafting a personal story that empowers rather than traps you.
