What if the story making you feel stuck isn't wrong — it's just incomplete?
War, inflation, outrage and doomscrolling. This week Michele shares one of her favorite coaching tools — a single question that interrupts that tunnel vision and opens up what you couldn't see before.
In this episode:
Why rumination narrows attention — and what the science says about breaking that loop
How unsupportive partners, friends, and dinner tables feel like the whole story — and why they're not
The "I can't afford it" story, and what you're probably not noticing inside it
Why this is NOT positive thinking, denial, or pretending things are fine
The doomscrolling trap: how to stop handing your nervous system to the headlines
A simple 4-step practice you can use anywhere, anytime
The question at the center of it all:
What am I not noticing that is not that?
The 4-step practice:
Name the "that" — what story are you treating as the whole truth?
Notice how it shows up — sentence, image, pressure, knot, voice?
Soften your eyes — widen your gaze and take in the room
Ask the question — then find one "not-that" move you can make next
