EP 47 - How To Change Your Current Limiting Thoughts


Listen Later

In the past few episodes on thought work as a PROCESS, I unpacked why rushing to change your thoughts backfires, why learning to feel negative emotions matters, and how to approach relapses to old thought patterns with more compassion and intentionality.

In this episode, I explore a crucial next step in the thought work process: how to actually change your current limiting thoughts when your brain strongly resists new empowering ones. This is something intuitive founders often struggle with—especially when old thoughts have become deeply familiar mental patterns over time.

I introduce a powerful coaching tool called the thought ladder and explain how sustainable mindset shifts happen incrementally, not through forcing yourself to believe thoughts that feel fake or disconnected from your current reality.


You’ll hear:

  • Why your brain cannot simply “stop” thinking long-held limiting thoughts on command.

  • How the thought ladder tool helps you shift your mindset incrementally instead of forcing positive thoughts that feel fake.

  • What “middle thoughts” are and how to choose thoughts your brain can actually believe.

  • How to practice new thoughts consistently so they become stronger neural pathways over time.

  • How the thought ladder connects with radical acceptance and the “yes, and” mindset for more sustainable emotional and cognitive change.

I also share important updates about wrapping up Season 1 of the show soon, future plans for Season 2, and ways for intuitive founders to stay connected and potentially participate in future conversations on the show.
