Shownotes Transcript

According to psychologist and author, Kelly McGonigal, listening to someone else's story of resilience and overcoming adversity can have a positive effect. Listening to someone's "restorative narrative" can inspire strength and courage in you. In addition, if you're the person doing the storytelling about your own traumatic event, and you both acknowledge the difficulty as well as the how it transformed you in positive ways, you are more likely to have better health outcomes. In this light, Andrea tells her breast cancer story and shares the four profound ways it has changed her three years later. Shownotes: http://yogalandpodcast.com/episode73))
