If we sat down together and I asked you to tell me your story, you’d probably tell me what happened. And that's a great place to start. But if we kept talking, I'd start listening for something else. The moment that changed you. 🔥 The belief that shifted. The lesson that's shaped who you are today. Because that's often where your message lives. Your story isn't just about the events you've lived through. It's about what those experiences have taught you. And that's the part people remember. Can you think of any moments that you felt something changed?
