The Script Detector
A 5-minute audit to see which stories are running your life
Instructions: Read each statement. Mark the ones that feel true—even if you hate admitting it.
CAREER SCRIPT
I measure my worth by productivity
I feel guilty when I'm not "doing something useful"
I downplay my achievements to avoid seeming arrogant
I believe rest is something I have to earn
I'm afraid to want more because it seems greedy
RELATIONSHIP SCRIPT
I'm responsible for everyone else's emotions
I say "I'm fine" when I'm not
I avoid conflict to keep the peace
I give advice when no one asked for it
My needs come last—always
MOTHERHOOD SCRIPT
My children's success (or failure) reflects on me
Good mothers sacrifice everything
I feel guilty when I prioritize myself
I'm still "Mom" before I'm me
Their problems are my problems
AGING SCRIPT
I'm fighting to stay "relevant"
I apologize for looking my age
I'm supposed to be invisible now
My best years are behind me
Youth = value
SUCCESS SCRIPT
If I haven't "made it" by now, I've failed
More money/status/achievement will finally make me enough
I compare myself to everyone
Playing it safe is smarter than taking risks
Success looks like what I see on social media
YOUR RESULTS:
0-5 checks: You're either lying to yourself or you've already done serious work. Keep going.
6-12 checks: You're running on multiple scripts. Time to debug.
13-20 checks: The scripts are running you. But you already knew that—or you wouldn't be here.
21-25 checks: Welcome. You're exactly where you need to be.
Now what?
Pick your highest-scoring category. That's your primary script—the one bleeding the most energy.
Name it. Watch for it. Question every choice it makes for you.
That's pattern recognition. That's how you start.
