Storytelling and Lowering The Stakes, with Paul Sockett

We all want a better relationship with our stuff.. and ourselves… but how do we actually go about creating that? 

Pop culture tells us to become minimalists and purge most of what we own. Instagram therapists say setting better boundaries, improving self care and staying on top of our mindset will do the trick; but what really works?

This week’s guest, Storyteller and Space Holder, Paul Sockett offers a fresh perspective on how we can consider and work with that which bogs us down inside of our hearts and homes.

Having spent the better part of his career as an actor, Paul understands the power of the roles we play and the stories we tell ourselves. Living nomadically for many years taught him firsthand the impact that carrying around a lot of stuff can have on our lived experience. 

Listen as he shares an inspiring new lens on how to navigate the intersection of our personal narratives, the stuff we possess and the ease we all want to feel.

Learn how to realign with your story and your stuff, by lowering the stakes so you can feel aligned with who you are and what you own so it doesn’t own you. Consider the revolutionary idea of stepping outside of our dichotomous society to make conscious choices about what is right for you.

Here are some things you’ll discover in this episode:

• The power story and intention have on your relationship to yourself and your stuff.
• There is no right amount of stuff that creates real freedom.  
• How to release the pressure so change can feel easier. 
• Ways to use curiosity and creativity to let go of the stories, possessions and emotional baggage we carry that no longer serve us..
• and so more…

Enjoy!

MORE ABOUT PAUL SOCKETT:

Paul hates labels but at the moment, Paul resonates most strongly with the descriptor Storyteller (for the breadth of choice, service and play that shapes him). He is a lover of words, the Earth and a pun (the cheesier the better). He is what people refer to as a multipotentialite and multi-hyphenate, though the threads connecting all his curiosities are story & bold expression. This means there are multiple ways in which Paul can be of service (coach/performer/voice artist/dramaturg/space-holder & poet to name a few). He helps curious beings realign with their Story and their Stuff, inviting the lowering of the stakes and the revolution that is stepping outside our dichotomous society to make conscious choices.
