How many of the beliefs you live by are actually yours?

We pick up beliefs from parents, teachers, friends, culture, and the world around us, often without realizing it. Then we build our lives around them as if they're simply true.

In this episode, we're asking one simple question: Who says? And then we're going a layer deeper, questioning what words like "responsible," "successful," "too old," and "realistic" even mean, and who got to define them in the first place.

Because once you see a belief for what it is, you get to decide whether you want to keep carrying it.

There's a lie hiding in what you believe.

In this episode, I'm sharing one of my favorite reminders: the word lie is actually hiding inside the word believe. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

I'll tell you about a belief I carried for decades that was never actually mine, and how noticing it changed far more than my writing.

If you've ever accepted someone else's opinion as the truth about who you are, this episode is for you.

I didn't always know I could believe something different about my life.

For years I thought I was stuck. Then I discovered that the beliefs I'd accepted as true were shaping every decision I made.

In this first episode, I'm sharing why I created Believe New Things, what this podcast is really about, and why changing your life starts by questioning what you've been believing all along.

If you've ever wondered, "Is this all there is?" this one's for you.
