Can you fire your inner critic? Author, professor, former TV producer and expert storyteller, Valerie Gordon, is back on the "Happiness through Hardship" - The Podcast to tell you how. After 20-years of producing award winning stories for ESPN and HBO, Valerie found communications agency, Commander-in-She, where she helps women advocate for their careers through the power of storytelling. On this week's episode Valerie talks to us about how our inner narrator impacts our lives, which can create or takeaway opportunities we want or deserve.
I'm excited to have Valerie back on the podcast inspiring us how to take charge of our lives and recast our inner narrative. A year ago Valerie shared her wisdom in episode 28 about how to plan your next career chapter - whether you’re unemployed, uninspired or just plain curious. This episode was amazing - the topic, the tips, the expertise and it continues to do well to this day. So I knew Valerie coming back on the podcast, sharing more lessons and highlighting her new book, “Fire Your Narrator” would be valuable. This book is a must have for people who want to learn how to quiet their inner narrator and lower the volume on those unhelpful inner stories we have in our heads.
