Can we really change our lives by changing the stories we tell ourselves?

In this episode of One Thirty Biohacks, I sit down with psychotherapist, speaker, and founder of Compassionate Inquiry, Stephanie Canavesio, for a conversation that challenged some of my deepest assumptions about healing, human potential, and personal transformation. We explore how our unconscious patterns, beliefs, and emotional wounds shape the way we experience the world — and how many of the limitations we carry today may simply be old narratives we have never questioned. What makes this episode especially unique is that it became incredibly personal. In a completely unplanned moment, Stephanie guided me through a live somatic exploration of a recent trigger, allowing listeners to witness what it actually looks like when we move beyond intellectual understanding and into embodied healing. Together we discuss: • Why awareness alone is often not enough to create change • How our nervous system stores old experiences and emotional patterns • The connection between childhood adaptations and adult behaviours • Compassionate Inquiry and the power of asking different questions • Human potential, self-sabotage, and the stories that keep us stuck • The difference between understanding a trigger and truly processing it • A live, unscripted somatic healing session around one of my own recent triggers This is a conversation about what becomes possible when we stop identifying with our past and start becoming curious about the stories we have been living by. If you’ve ever felt trapped in recurring patterns, emotional reactions, or versions of yourself that no longer serve you, this episode might offer a completely different perspective. Hosted on Acast.
