Look for the Good with Mindset Coach Carrie Rowan

What if the story you’re most afraid to share is the very key to your freedom? This week on Look for the Good, author, speaker, and soulful healing guide Jenn Gulbrand joins me to reveal how voicing her hardest chapter led to an outcome more powerful than she ever imagined. Our approaches harmonize beautifully: we unpack how to spot the story running your life, reframe it, and then share it in a way that unlocks confidence, connection, and calm—even in uncertain times. Jenn also shares how she empowers other women to tell their “worst” stories in safe, structured ways—so they reclaim their voices, authority, and self-trust. In this episode, you’ll learn how to: Recognize the hidden “script” that keeps you anxious or stuck. Use science-backed nervous system tools to calm down quickly and think clearly. Transform a painful story into a purpose-driven message that helps others (and heals you). Find your voice on and off stage—without oversharing or reliving the past. Apply a simple before/after framework to rewrite any limiting narrative fast. Stay to the end to hear the profound one-line breakthrough a client shared after stepping off stage from telling her “worst” story—it’s a mic-drop moment you’ll carry with you.
