You didn’t choose how your story began — but you can choose what comes next.

In this episode (Light Over Shadow), we explore the quiet prison of the past: the small rules, the voices, the fears and habits that shape who you believe you are. This is not blame. It’s an invitation: the second creation — how to go from surviving a life you inherited to designing the life you choose.

What you’ll get in this episode

• Why the past can feel like a prison — even when nothing obvious is happening

• How old patterns become identity (not just memories)

• A gentle, practical 5-step process to begin changing your relationship with the past

• A cinematic, hopeful arc so you feel seen — and ready to take the first step

The 5 steps (summary)
1) Accept where you started — without shame
2) Put down what isn’t yours to carry
3) Forgive — not because they deserve it, but because you do
4) Rewrite the internal story
5) Rebuild — not from reaction, but design
