About this listen

REWRITE YOUR STORY, RECLAIM ABUNDANCE AND HEALTH

What if the key to becoming unstoppable isn't something you find—but a story you write?

Science has revealed a profound truth: you are the narrative you create about yourself. This isn't just positive thinking—neuroscience confirms that your internal storytelling directly impacts your mental health, physical wellbeing, and creative potential. When fear and stress drive your narrative, even brilliant dreams become roadblocks.

In this transformative guide, you'll discover

  • 7 science-backed strategies that will revolutionize how you harness your brain's natural capabilities
  • Transform overwhelming stress into focused productivity
  • Convert financial and time anxiety into healthy self-knowledge
  • Break through procrastination patterns permanently
  • Release the secrets and shame holding you captive
  • Dismantle impostor syndrome at its core
  • Rebuild vital energy when you're completely depleted
  • Access your brain's hidden strengths to create with confidence and ease

Unlike generic self-help approaches, these practical techniques work with your neurological wiring, not against it. Each chapter translates complex neuroscience into simple, actionable steps you can implement immediately.

Begin your journey to authentic empowerment today. Your transformed story—and the extraordinary life it creates—awaits.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

super relatable and refreshing

I usually zone out with self-help stuff, but this one kept me tuned in. It felt like it spoke to where I’m at—sorting through layers, figuring out what’s next. I even jotted down a few things to revisit later (which I never do). It’s rare that something makes me pause and say, “Yeah, that’s exactly what I needed to hear today.”

Helped Me Find My Voice

Honestly, I didn’t expect this to hit me the way it did. Listening felt like talking with a friend who gets what it's like to be stuck in your own story. The way the paths are laid out made it way less overwhelming to actually start making changes. I caught myself reflecting a lot and even journaling after a few chapters, which I never do.

A fresh take on how we shape our own growth

Brave Your Story focuses on how the stories we tell ourselves can either move us forward or keep us stuck. The author connects mindset with science in a way that feels real and useful. It helped me understand how patterns like procrastination or self doubt can be gently changed. It's the type of book that will make you want to reflect and return to it often.

Empowering & Real


I didn’t expect this to hit home the way it did. Maria Ian’s strategies felt super doable not preachy or overwhelming. I’ve been dealing with imposter syndrome for years, and this book helped me put words to things I couldn’t explain before. It’s not just theory it’s real tools you can actually use. If you’re stuck or just tired of your own inner critic, this is worth the listen. Felt like a deep breath I didn’t know I needed.

Helped Me Own My Journey Without Shame

Reading this felt like having a heart-to-heart with someone who truly gets it. I’ve been carrying parts of my story I didn’t feel proud of, but this book gave me permission to stop hiding and start healing. The seven paths are powerful—each one nudged me to reflect, grow, and reclaim parts of myself I’d tucked away. If you’re ready to stop playing small and start embracing your full story, this one’s a powerful companion.

Excellent knowledge to begin writing your story

An intense, in-depth read about writing the story about your life or a unique experience in your life. The author writes of four highly descriptive, deep, engaging stories of forging a new path forward to find purpose and a new identity. The book teaches about the variety of skills required to write – consistency, discipline, confrontation with self being a few. I enjoyed the thread throughout the book to develop rather than limit, and that the value of your story lies in its potential to transform, not necessarily how dramatic it is. The author states that it’s important to be authentic and that your story matters to others. There are many micro lessons, some include dealing with overwhelm, procrastination, the concept of time scarcity and impulsivity and how each impacts writing. And finally, the self-assessment quizzes were a nice finish to reflect on what areas of personal characteristics need attention and what to do about that.

Discover yourself

This book makes you think about the narratives you have running in your head – the ones you might not even be fully aware of. It talks about how fear and stress can really take over those stories and turn even good ideas into sources of anxiety.

What I found interesting were the seven science-backed strategies it lays out. It wasn't just vague advice; it actually explained how your brain works and how these techniques are supposed to tap into that. Things like turning stress into focus and anxiety into self-knowledge sounded really appealing because those are definitely areas I struggle with.
