The Lies That Keep You From Living the Life You Actually Want


Listen Later

You’ve probably heard them before:
"Success means being busy."
"You’re behind if you’re not grinding."
“You should just be grateful.”

But what if these are the very lies keeping you from the life you actually want?

In this episode of Words for Life, we’re getting honest about the invisible scripts running your life and how to rewrite them. Whether you’re constantly saying “yes” out of guilt or stuck chasing someone else’s version of success, this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and recalibrate.

You’ll learn:

  • Why so many of us end up performing life instead of living it

  • The quiet cost of “shoulds,” people-pleasing, and inherited expectations

  • How to begin shifting from obligation to ownership

  • Real steps to reclaim your clarity, voice, and direction

💭 Plus, a reflective journal prompt to help you reconnect with what you really want, not what you've been told to want.
