My first thought is that we are fundamentally responsible for ensuring that our needs our met, either through what we offer ourselves or through what we ask from others. As it relates to story, the first part of "stepping outside" is to change the language from “you can’t meet my needs” to “my needs aren’t getting met.” That essentially brings that ball back into your court, enabling you to move from victim to creator and provides you with choice – to stay and appreciate where you are, to stay and ask for change, or to go. How does this land for you? Kelly – great questions!

Now -- the trick is to figure out what your stories are in the less obvious ways and then step out of them! I'm on board! I love it.
