Interrupting Contagious Narratives

When Casey showed the women she interviewed for her upcoming book its table of contents, almost every one of them said, "I would open up to the chapter Interrupting Contagious Narratives." In this solo episode, Casey shares why negative narratives spread so much faster than positive ones, and how to keep from catching them.

Two types of contagious narratives:

1. Projections: borrowed beliefs about who we are or how things have to be, passed on by others and carried as if they were our own

2. Echoes: gossip, grievances, and complaints that get repeated until they shape how everyone sees the people and the work

Listen for:

- What a measles model taught Casey about how fast negative narratives spread

- Three response stems for when someone projects their fears onto your next move

- The three reasons we nod along in conversations we know feel wrong

- How to vent without handing your baggage to everyone around you

If you're a high-achieving, impact-driven woman who wants to protect your integrity in every room you're in, this episode is for you.
