I Don't Want To Fix Myself Anymore

Life, Unedited with Monica Wisdom | Part 2 What if some of the things you believe about yourself are stories you learned to live inside? In Part 2 of Life, Unedited , Monica Wisdom takes a deeper look at the stories we tell ourselves, where those stories come from, and how experiences from our past can continue to influence how we think, feel, and make decisions today.

We often talk about healing, fixing ourselves, and moving forward, but Monica asks us to consider something different: What if becoming more fully ourselves requires us to examine the narratives we have carried for years? In this episode, Monica explores the relationship between memory, emotion, triggers, and the stories we create around our experiences.

She shares personal stories about discovering the source of her own fear and silence, and a conversation with her godson that revealed how an old story could still feel very much alive decades later. This conversation is not about examining trauma.

It is about becoming curious about the stories we continue to tell ourselves and recognizing when the past is influencing the present. Because what happened then is not necessarily what is happening now.

And sometimes the first level of freedom is recognizing the story. In This Episode • The stories we tell ourselves and how they shape the way we live • Why feelings are real, but feelings are not always facts • How memory can preserve the feeling of a moment long after the moment has passed • The connection between our past experiences and present-day triggers • Why certain behaviors can feel almost automatic • Understanding the difference between who we were then and who we are now • Monica's personal experience discovering the genesis of her silence • How old stories can influence the decisions we make today • Why “new year, new me” cannot change what we have never taken the time to understand • What it means to unravel old programming and make room for who we are becoming A Note From Monica There is a difference between constantly trying to fix yourself and taking the time to understand yourself.

Sometimes becoming is not about creating an entirely new version of yourself. Sometimes it is about unraveling the stories that were never fully true, releasing what no longer belongs to you, and becoming immersed in yourself from a more centered perspective.
