The Shattered Mindset

Ep 86: What Shaped Your Mindset Before You Knew It


Listen Later

We like to believe we chose who we are.
 But much of how we think, react, and decide was shaped long before we were aware it was happening.

In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry explores the invisible influences—culture, upbringing, environment, education, and life experiences—that quietly form the beliefs we carry into adulthood.

This isn’t about blame.
 It’s about clarity.

Because once you understand where your mindset came from, you’re finally in a position to decide what still belongs—and what no longer serves the person you’re becoming.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

  • Why mindset isn’t about motivation or positive thinking
  • How culture and environment silently teach us what’s “possible”
  • The role exposure and mentors play in expanding belief
  • Why awareness—not motivation—is the real starting point for growth
  • How to reclaim authorship of your life instead of living on autopilot

If you’ve ever felt like certain patterns keep repeating, or that parts of your thinking don’t fully reflect who you want to be today, this episode will help you see your story more clearly—and choose what comes next.
