The words you use—especially when you’re alone—are shaping your identity. In this episode of Hard Truths, we dig deep into how casual self-talk builds or breaks your confidence, rewires your brain, and silently scripts the person you become.🔬 We break down:

• The psychology of self-concept and identity anchors
  
• How Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) explains your self-talk loops
  
• The Reticular Activating System and how your brain filters for what you affirm
  
• Why sarcastic jokes and offhand comments aren’t harmless—they’re programming
  

🎯 If you’re ready to stop talking down to yourself and start building a voice that supports you—this one’s for you.#HardTruthsPodcast #CBT #MindsetReset #SelfTalkMatters #IdentityShift
