Our Values

Learn the heartbeat behind Your Retelling and what defines our unique approach.

Here's What We're About..

1. Self-Acceptance Over Endless Self-Development

(No More D.I.Y-ing You)

In a world that pushes us towards exhaustive self-improvement, at Your Retelling, we choose radical self-acceptance. We practice the art of becoming —growing into our truest selves with compassion, grit, and grace— while shedding the parts of ourselves that are not us.

This means we treat no one as a D.I.Y project. We are not meant to be poked, prodded, or chipped away into some mythical version of ourselves. Here, we believe that the magic is us today. Daring to live. Daring to become.

2. Ease Over Hustle

(No More Striving for Your Dreams)

Dreams don’t demand struggle—they call for alignment. Here, you can step off the treadmill of striving for your dreams and embrace a gentler path. You don’t have to try harder, do more, or become someone else to live the life you want. This is a space to rediscover the magic of ease, where living your dreams feels natural, not exhausting. 

Choosing ease does not mean giving up on accountability, drive, or dedication; rather, it's about finding a rhythm that allows for rest, joy, and pleasure along the way. It's a shift towards working smarter, not harder, and remembering that even gentle currents can create canyons.

3. Community Over Hyper-Individualism

(No More Going It Alone)

Community is at the heart of everything we do. We know that pursuing dreams is not just about vision—it’s about having the support, love, and affirmation to bring that vision to life.

Here, we provide space for you to lean into the strength of a community that genuinely cares. We recognize that we thrive most when we uplift one another, share our wins, and hold space for our challenges. At Your Retelling, you’re never without a community cheering you on.

 

4. Flow Over Force

(No More White-Knuckling Life)

Fulfillment doesn’t come from forcing every piece of life into place. It comes from embracing the magic of flow—the freedom to follow what comes to you naturally, then trust that life will unfold in ways you can’t even imagine.

Here, you can let go of the exhausting need to control every outcome and lean into the quiet power of surrender. No more needing to know the whole path. No more white-knuckling your journey. This is your invitation to trust and believe that life holds more for you than you could ever plan if only you'd take the first step.

5. Compassion Over Victim-Blaming

(No More Shaming Yourself for Being Human)

Compassion acknowledges the inherent dignity and worth of every individual, understanding that hardships are not always self-inflicted. Here, we recognize that not every challenge is a result of a limited thinking or a low self-concept. Instead, we recognize and grieve how communal, oppressive, and traumatic histories have shaped our imagination.

Rather than engaging in blame or positivizing, we choose support, understanding, and solidarity with each other. We choose to imagine a new story for you that's rooted in compassion and care.
