Have you ever been told something about yourself—or your health—that stuck with you? Maybe a doctor told you that your condition was “incurable,” a family member made you doubt yourself, or someone’s negative words played over and over in your mind.

What if those outside influences were shaping your reality more than you realized?

In this powerful episode, Brandy Gillmore explores why protecting your mind is essential—not just from your own thoughts, but from the beliefs and opinions of others. So often, we unknowingly absorb fears, doubts, and limitations from those around us, allowing them to take root in our subconscious. But just because someone says something doesn’t make it true.

Brandy shares insights into how the mind works, how external negativity can subtly impact our emotions and well-being, and why becoming aware of these influences is the first step to creating change. She explains practical steps to strengthen the "mental filters" that protect your thoughts from outside negativity, cultivate emotional resilience, and align your mind with healing, growth, and happiness.

If you’re ready to take a deeper look at how outside influences may be shaping your thoughts—and how to start shifting your mindset—this episode is a must-listen.
