We’re the sound engineers sitting at the mixer. We have the sliders and knobs at our fingertips.

It’s up to us to turn up the internal voices and narratives that are helping ... and to mute the channels that are dragging us down.

The negative lines — for the most part — will always be present. We can’t disconnect them completely. But we do have great control over their levels.

What we amplify and what we mute ... is our choice.
