285. What Kind of Tales Do You Tell Yourself? -

Welcome to episode 285 of The Joe Martino Show. In today’s episode, we’re exploring the powerful stories we tell ourselves—those of comfort, commitment, and capability. These narratives hold more influence over our lives than we might realize. Often, we lean on tales of comfort to shield ourselves from responsibility and the challenges that lie ahead.
