Why do our expectations so often become our reality? In this episode of Circuit Breaker: Rewiring Your Decisions, we explore the self‑fulfilling prophecy — the psychological phenomenon where beliefs and assumptions influence behaviour until they make themselves true.

Discover how expectations shape actions, why other people’s beliefs can affect your performance, and how changing your internal predictions can shift the outcomes you experience.
