In this episode of the Believing and Achieving podcast, I break down how to cut negativity out of your life—whether it’s negative self-talk, habits, or people that drain your energy. We talk about why awareness is the foundation for change, how negative habits often show up as comfort or distraction, and what it actually looks like to replace them with healthier patterns. I also explain the difference between self-evaluation and self-judgment, and why growth doesn’t require beating yourself up. This episode is about taking ownership of your mindset, choosing your emotional state, and learning how to respond to life’s challenges with clarity, intention, and control.
