Episode 46: Rewriting Stories to Unlock Your Wonder with Harris III

Harris III is a creative entrepreneur, world-renowned speaker, and author of The Wonder Switch. Today’s conversation explores how our traumas and stories shut down our natural state of wonder, and how to begin reawakening our curiosity.

Judi and Harris also talk about how worry is a misuse of imagination, what it means to have a “what if” mindset, and Harris’ high-performance morning ritual.

In this episode of Yes, And we explore:

  • The connection between our traumas & the stories we tell ourselves
  • Identifying lies & broken narratives to reawaken your wonder
  • How worry is a misuse of your imagination
  • Moving from complacent, fearful mindsets to curiosity
  • How to travel safely and with empathy
  • Having a “yes, and” or “what if” mindset 

Top 3 relevant quotes:

  1. I had to right and correct the wrongs in my story, these lies that I got led to believe and those lies are what crush our wonder. When wonder is a verb, it’s curiosity—so curiosity is simply wonder in action.

  2. Pain is different from suffering. Pain is very real, suffering is the story that we give to our pain to make sense of it—and the suffering doesn’t have to continue because we can honor the fact that it happened, but that it’s not still happening now.

  3. I understand that to practice something requires failure, and so I have to fail my way to success—it’s the only way to get there. So to achieve and live out the story I want to live, quite simply requires me to step out and do courageous things every single day.
