In this episode, Brenda dives deep into why letting go of old beliefs can feel so hard — and why it’s not just about mindset, but about identity and survival.

Brenda talks about cognitive dissonance and why your brain clings so tightly to familiar patterns, even when they no longer serve you. These old beliefs once kept you safe as a child, and they became part of your sense of self. Changing them isn’t just uncomfortable — it can feel terrifying, because your brain views it as stepping into the unknown.

You’ll learn how to reconnect with your inner child, honor the ways those beliefs once protected you, and then gently offer your younger self a new, empowering belief. She also shares why simply saying affirmations isn’t enough — you have to embody the new belief, feel it in your body, and practice living it so it becomes part of who you are.

•Why your brain fights to hold on to old beliefs — and why that’s actually a sign of growth.
