In this episode we call BS on the “you’re not enough / who do you think you are?” soundtrack and dig into self-deception—the sneaky brain patterns that distort our reality and keep us looping the same results. Our guest, Bizzie Gold, creator of Break Method and author of Your Brain Is a Filthy Liar, shows us how to spot the lies, map our patterns, and rewire for freedom.

Known for her no-BS approach to personal development, Bizzie has spent over a decade helping thousands of people and organizations identify the subconscious patterns running the show. Her data-driven, neuroscience-based system has been featured in major media outlets and is transforming how we think about mental health, leadership, and self-growth.

We cover:

Positive vs. negative self-deception—when your brain either minimizes risk (“I got this”) or magnifies it (“why try, it’ll fail anyway”).

The Brain Pattern Spectrum—why some of us skew hyper-independent and others codependent, and how both can spiral without awareness.

Perception of reality ≠ reality—how your “neurocognitive funnel” colors emotions, choices, and behavior on autopilot.

Childhood inputs > dramatic anecdotes—how small, repetitive cues (not just Big-T trauma) program lifelong patterns.

“Center with range”—why the goal isn’t becoming a new person; it’s regaining balance and flexibility so you can lead, love, and live without self-sabotage.

Real-world application—how mapping your pattern can improve team dynamics and performance, not just your inner peace. You can take Bizzie’s brain pattern mapping diagnostic via her site. 

Ultimately, this episode is a masterclass in breaking your brain’s bad habits—because when you understand your wiring, you can finally stop running old programs and start living with clarity, confidence, and choice.
