What if every limitation holding you back was completely fabricated? In this episode, Daniel Schuler reveals how 7 years of coaching thousands of people taught him that we're only born with 2 fears—everything else is a lie we've learned to believe.
In this conversation with identity and emotional intelligence coach Daniel Schuler, you'll discover:
- Why we're born with only 2 fears and how 100% of your other limitations are fabricated stories
- The difference between who you ARE versus what you DO—and why most people build their identity on the wrong foundation
- How to use evidence-based thinking to shatter self-limiting beliefs that have no factual support
- The confession and repentance method for distinguishing between your voice and the voice of truth
- Why "fake it till you make it" affirmations keep you trapped in lies—and what to do instead
- The internal compass system: How to align your actions with that quiet voice inside
- The transformative question that breaks through any self-imposed limitation: "What's the biggest lie I believe about myself?"
